Some pictures from the picnic.
Our Picnic table and all our goodies ;)
Darrell's nasty bologna and mustard
double layer sandwich.
Fruit!
Egypt under the table - she had an apple with
some peanut butter - she left the apple lol.
Now pictures from the actual hike.
Egypt went as just a dog today but still had to do some work - she leash guided Darrell all throughout the trail and he avoided way more trips than we did.
Darrell, Egypt and I posing in the middle of the trail.
Egypt would lead Darrell around
all these big rocks, she was really careful on
the difficult parts like this.
Some pretty cliffs on the side of the trail -
this is where we stopped and turned around
(marker 10 on the trail - just incase you ever go lol).
Egypt got some refreshments when we stopped
to turn around.
Darrell and our friend Shelly on our way back.

Great pics and isn't it nice to be able to go outside and enjoy the great weather! Poor Bob, but he'll get his turn soon hopefully. Uhm, one HUGE question though - you said we could go and which marker we could the cliffs, but since you never mentioned which park, I guess we'll never find it! Good thing you took Darrell or he'd be lost too. Ha-Ha,
Yes thank you for pointing that out to everyone Momma! However since I don't want stalkers following me on my hikes I didn't put the name - if you would like to know it you can email me privately! (can be found on my profile)
Safety first then teamwork - wear shoes in the house..
Mmmm, that fruit looks delicious! I can't say the same about Darrell's bologna sandwich, but still, Natalie, I don't think it's nice to say it's nasty!! Poor Darrell....
;)
Leash guiding? Huh? Hmmm.
Sounds like fun, for sure! I'm still curious though. When Jay is on leash, he doesn't stop for things. I'd be scared to do that without the harness.
Haha sorry - I just hate bologna and mustard so yup - nastiness lol.
Ro the leash guiding came from a petco experience I think - I think we had gotten Egypt groomed or something so when we went to pick her up Darrell didn't take her harness in. Well she just kind of acted like she does when she's working so yeah.. it works lol. Also, one of the workers at GDTx was telling us that service or guide dogs don't necessarily need any identification at all. He said that he can walk in Wal-Mart just using leash guide and no one could do anything about it.. so that kind of showed us that it wasn't unheard of. I'm sure you'll be able to do it sometime soon. You just gotta learn each other a little more ;)
Well when I'm walking around the house with him, I'll let him decide where he wants to go. But I can't really feel what he's doing without the harness. I guess it would just kinda freak me out. And like, he'll avoid walls and such for his own preservation, but he is out of work mode without that harness. I commend Darrell, I'd be scared lol!
What's wrong with bologna? Leash guiding feels kinda weird Ro because there is so many ways the leash can go, but keep it kind of tight and you'll be able to feel which way Jayden is going. It'll take some time, but you'll do fine. Personally I don't really like doing it because Egypt is extremely cautious and it's almost impossible to get her to speed up. She stills does well in places she knows though.
