We may be "Seniors," but we're Not Old Yet

Join Dr. Stacy Steele and her faithful pal Karoo as they walk 100 miles to prove that getting older does NOT mean you need to slow down! While they're at it, they're "kicking trail" and raising funds for two very special animal charities: World Vets and Old Dog Haven. Follow along on their adventures from June 7-14, 2015!

This is the highrise where LeeAnn and Bob's house lives.  We are up on the 6th floor.

Mama and I got up early today to hike Mineral Ridge again!  


The weather has cooled off a lot.  And then wind was really blowing up on the ridge.  We walked on the trail spurs that we had skipped last time. 



 It was beautiful!  And I was feeling soooooo good!  I was grabbing sticks to give to Mama to play fetch.  I had not been doing that for a few days.  Mama was sure happy to see my antics!



We decided we needed to check out the Wilson Trail as well!


The trail was very narrow, but the views were awesome!


When we got back to the house, LeeAnn joined us and we all walked around Tubbs Hill.  I got to play fetch in the lake.  Last time in Lake Coeur d’Alene for this trip!  Mama and LeeAnn stayed on shore.  Don’t know why they don’t want to swim with me!

Can see the highway far below.

Can see the stick that needs to be thrown....

When we returned to the house, LeeAnn made us grilled cheese sandwiches.  She makes THE BEST grilled cheese!  Yep, this puppy dog gets some as well!
We got all of our gear packed up.  We have to leave today to go to Dog Camp!  Oh boy!!  Very sad to leave LeeAnn and Bob.  They are the BEST!  They hope to come visit us at the Beach!   Yippee!


There will not be internet access at camp, so I will have to sign off for now.  Meeting friends at camp to do more hiking and playing fetch and swimming and playing fetch and hiking and…

Oh, totals for walking… first day 20 (miserable) miles, second day ten miles, third day seven miles, fourth day 13 miles, today (so far) eight miles ( expect 4 more at camp this afternoon).  
We won’t make the 100 miles in a week… but in spite of hot weather, asphalt and a few other issues, Mama and I did ok!  And we are helping two of our favorite organizations in the process:  World Vets and Old Dog Haven.

Until next time,

Your puppy pal, Karoo!

    what kind of cheese does LeeAnn use? We always use extra sharp cheddar, but I bet some exotic cheeses would be fun too. My cats love cheese but I have to be careful they don't get too much. I don't usually give Wiena any cheese....but she does get the 'bones' from pizzas (the end crusts after they have sat for a few days to dry out....nice and crispy)
    So glad you had a good trip...look forward to hearing about your next adventure.
