A hike along the Truckee River

I recently made a trip to Truckee, California, and Kargo came along for the ride. We took a nice hike on the Legacy Trail, which runs along the Truckee River. Here's a view of the river as we were hiking along.

Carmel, May 2016

We took a trip to Carmel-by-the-sea last weekend. We tend to make two trips a year there, once in May and once in late September. We took a walk above the beach on Saturday. We later went walking down on the beach, where Kargo had a blast.

The next day was the usual hike in Garland Ranch, and Kargo gets to go off-leash. woo-hoo!

The stare

I love this photo of Kargo. She looks really intense. It doesn't really match her personality.

Dog park action

Kargo loves the dog park and we try to go once a week. Here she is enjoying the dog park action. The basset is named Satchel and the great dane is named Duke.

One ball is NOT enough

Title says it all...

1st Adoptaversary

Kargo had her first adoptaversary recently. She's been with us a year now, and how time flies. She's now 1 1/2 years old, and she still wants to play like a puppy. She loves her walks, and here she is on one of her morning walks in San Francisco around the Sunset Reservoir. The weather was gorgeous that morning -- the ocean was a perfect blue and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Fairly accurate photos

It's always been hard to capture an accurate photo of how Kargo the Dog looks. She has a mix of colors in her fur (a.k.a expensive highlights) and she has a black face that does not show up unless the lighting is just right. I took these two photos on a recent morning walk when the sun was shining just so and I think the photos are pretty realistic. The one above even shows her white soul patch on her chin. The one below is a good profile shot of her head. Many people think she looks like a mini wolf.
