Bolts 1st hike

Bolts is 4 months old & the forest is finally clear of snow,  so we took him on his first hike!  We love to hike, so we were excited to introduce him to our forest.

 He did really well on leash.  He was a little hesitant about jumping over the downed trees ;)

 The forest was really hurt by the last storm.  Trees bent over, and downed trees everywhere.  It's hard to get good photos of the devastation, but it is there.

 We let Bolts off leash for a while too.  He stays with us really well, but we know that as soon as another person or dog, he'll be off.  Fortunately, it was early in the morning, so we only encountered a few mountain bikers (and Bolts was still on the leash at that time)

 We stopped at the Pet Shoppe for more treats & food after.  Look at the large bully stick he got!  (Chris cut it into smaller pieces when we got home)

He's getting so big!  Almost 12  pounds now.

 He loves his buddy Bean.
