Indian Creek Trail walk

   This afternoon the shibas & I met up with Chieko, Bill, Hana and Hachi (formerly Lobo) for a leisurely 2-hour walk on the Indian Creek Trail. We started from the trailhead at 127th & Black Bob and followed the trail south. As fun as walking was, the paved trail is perfect for bikes (which Hana enjoyed) and continues for over 15 miles. Time for me to get a bike!

Shiba lineup:

   The trail snakes in & out of the woods and loosely follows a creek. It was hot today: about 95 degrees. The shade felt good. It would have been fun to let the shibas try the water, but mine just had a bath, and the creek didn't smell as good as they do...

   There were tiny butterflies of all varieties. This one's wings were frayed, but it could still fly:

Taking a water break (those are some long tongues!):

We met a  nice family in the woods. The kids loved dogs!

Maybe too much?

Please tell me she's not making out with my dog...
