Frankie Out and About

I took a day off to trailer my car to the shop and when I got back I took Frankie for a long awaited hike. We've had bad weather the last few weekends, so haven't been out much.

Frankie, look at the camera!

Is it a bird? A plane?

Ok, so I lied. It really was a plane, and a CHP at that:

Hope you enjoyed.

These are so fantastic shots! I just love Frankie's silly ears. They are so cute.

LOVE the pictures on the rocks. She looks like quite the expert at hiking. :)
I see the big back pack in the background - is that yours? I bought Kiara a backpack tonight for when we go hiking/camping in May. I'll make her carry all the stuff. ;)

I love those pictures. Frankie is a natural!! You are a great photographer as well!! Looks like the two of you had a great day!!

Thanks! Yeah, the backpack is mine. It's actually a fanny pack that works great for carrying two waters, mine and hers, my camera, and a snack for both of us. It also has zippers on the pad that hold my ID and keys.

I keep wanting to get her a pack, but haven't found one in my price range that I like. Let me know how Kiara's turns out!

Frankie is such a hansome boy! I love those pictures of him on the rocks.

Thanks! Frankie was climbing pallets when she was a tinny puppy. She does much better on rocks than I do. A couple of the pictures she's about 8 feet up on a rock that I had issues with. She just jumped right up and waited for me. :rolleyes:

This one is my favorite! She looks gorgeous on those rocks. That is a beautiful place to hike! You're making me jealous, I want to hike, but its all mud right now.

The first few reminds me of Nebo, he often just refuses to look at me, and when he does, his eyes are closed. Nebo has a backpack, its by Outward Hound...I bought it several years ago, I can't remember the price--$30-$40 I think? But it's been a great pack, I'm mean, I make him carry his own water. Keep posting the hiking pics, I love them!

She is a beautiful dog and it looks like she had fun!

Wow, thanks everyone!

Are those chairs on top of the rock? That is awesome, I would love to just sit there and enjoy the beautiful view!

Yup, someone cemented them in and built a ramp. They literraly are on the edge of the peak on the highest points. They look straight down into the valley and the way they are positioned makes it seem like you're lined up with the road in the distance.

I didn't have the guts to actually sit in them with Frankie attached to me. :o

What, you didn't want to go rolling down the rock? I can't imagine why! :p

Looks like you BOTH had a great hike! :D

Frankie is such a beauty!! I love the pictures of her on the rock. What kind of dog is she? Isn't it fun taking the dogs out hiking? That has to be one of my favorite things in the world to do. I really want to get dog packs for my fur kids also. I was looking online at some they were a bit pricey. One company wanted $90.00 for one.

Those are fabulous pictures. I just love the scenery, where about were those shots taken? Would be worth flying there just for the pictures. It must be somewhere hotter than here, I spotted some greenery.

Aww what an adorable girl!!!

Beautiful pics of Frankie!! She looks like a true hiking expert. Smiling all the way and really enjoying herself. She's gorgeous!! I love the scenery! :)

Wow, great pictures! She really does look like she is having a good time. :)Yes, I think Frankie has found her calling. She was born to hike.
