After not having a dog for 12 years I truly appreciate everything about him! They truly are man's best friend. He goes every where with us! I feel bad for him this week. He is still recovering from the hike...he ripped up his paw pads pretty good! He is getting cabin fever though! Wants to jump back on the trails!! But his paws need a little more time before we head back out!

I know what you mean after losing a dog and you never truly feel the same without them... I hope to keep putting smiles on peoples faces like Takoda does to me with updates of our travels!

Great idea of the avocado! I make a variation of this smootie to make it a little sweeter, I'm sure I'd share it in upcoming updates! :)
