Not just a dog.
She was an Australian Shepherd with a huge heart and endless drive — my trail partner, mountain explorer, and most loyal friend.
From rocky summits to snowy valleys, she was always by my side, never asking for anything but the next adventure.
Thank you for every step we shared.

Today is a special day—our dog Brownie turns 11! 🎉 He’s a one-of-a-kind Jack Russell-Snoopy mix who embodies both the energy of Eddie from *Frasier* and the intelligence of Snoopy himself. Brownie’s favorite thing in the world? Hiking with his humans. 🥾

So today, to celebrate, we’re taking him on a 6-mile hike—his happy place. He’ll lead the way, loving every second of being outdoors with us. Here’s to many more adventures, Brownie! 🐾💚 #DogBirthday #HikingBuddy #adventuredogs #dogsofmastodon

It's #mondog and here's Lusha earlier on our favourite sitting-down rock.*

(*She likes to stare at passing cars, I need to rest my knees a bit.)

The white tent is an archaeological dig! I went up there yesterday with a glasses case Lusha found by the turn, hoping they belonged to somebody.
