We’ve been back home long enough for Aurora to forget that she doesn’t want to get in the car and Zahara back into her old habits of asking for “second dinners” instead of skipping meals. Both dogs race to the door anytime I put my shoes on, and even though we’re usually going for runs, they are always asking if they get to go for a ride this time.
One of the great things about the area where I live is that there are two miles of dirt roads to our house and no leash laws, so evening jogs for me mean gallivants through the desert for them. They are getting very good at coming when called, no matter how enticing that rabbit or other dog may be, something that is a huge encouragement to me when I consider our next road trip.
The not-so-wonderful thing about where I live – Tucson area – is that while there are hundreds of hiking trails, most of them are in the Catalinas and dogs are not allowed. If anyone can recommend some great hikings trails in the Tucson area where dogs are welcome, please let me know about them!
