Ziggy Tails: Paws on the Appalachian Trail S1 E9
Road trip! Wednesday, May 26, we packed up and headed South. We generally do not travel on holiday weekends. We live at a vaca-destination so why fight traffic and crowds on those busy times. But we have been itching to visit a hiking buddy of ours we meet on my 2015 AT thru-hike and his girlfriend. The only weekend we had free was this weekend which is Memorial weekend. We cheated a little and left ahead of the majority of travelers and are returning today instead of Monday.
Ziggy Tails: Sorry Fields Pond S1 E8
Well, I am two weeks behind, almost anyway. If I didn’t write today it would be two weeks late. But what’s new. So, that means I will put out a double header this weekend. After all, I have loads of time as I sit shot gun on this road trip. More on that in S1 E9. May 17 Prince Ziggy and I took a hike in Orrignton at the Audubon society Fields Pond trails. It was only our second hiking excursion on public land since our first week owning him. The day was absolutely gorgeous, w

Ziggy is turning into one heck of hiking partner. We hit the trails almost every day last week. Mostly just up back on Mollie's Trail. If you've been around awhile, you'll know that's our go-to trail for everyday fitness right out our front door. We named it after a dog we had years ago. I am still keeping the miles short for Ziggy, but we did have a couple days over three and a half miles. Most research says, not to work your puppy too hard, don't let them jump, and make su
Ziggy Tails: Sometimes three is a crowd S1 E6
So far so good, another great week with Ziggy at my side. We even ended the week without having to do the dreaded puppy-hold. Nothing supper exciting, comical, or tramatic to report though this week. I guess that is a good thing. No tears, no accidents, no destruction in or out of the house. Just more great puppy stuff and improving behavior. Last week we introduced two new members to our household, cats, one kitten and one adult. After a weekend of high stress from everyone,

Monday: What a chillin' day. Not too long ago, we had psycho puppy. Today you wouldn't even know it was the same dog. The day started out making him get out of bed, his crate. He slept through the night from 8:00pm the night before until 7am this morning. Our morning routine was the same; he went out and did his business and breakfast. Then we leashed up, I treated up, and we headed out for our normal walk. 30 yards or less up the trail and two stops already, he let me know h
