Gryffin takes Rikka for a walk

Rikka can't go for a walk anymore but hates to be left behind. Gryffin pulls when we walk him and we think he might make a good sled dog. So - here are both dogs doing what they love, one helping the other. Rikka was a little leery at first, but when we got to the neighbor's house and their dog came out to play with Gryff, Rikka had a big doggie smile on her face.

beginnings and endings

Tomorrow we are headed north to Michigan. For Gryffin this will be a new adventure. He hasn't been on any major trips with us. Last time we went to the UP Rikka was a pup - just 2 years old and very happy to be out exploring the world. This time she is home with Grandma. She can barely walk and would be uncomfortable riding such a long distance.

So - this trip is bitter sweet. Rikka is missing her favorite thing - a trip. But Gryff has something wonderful in store for him.
