A walk in the park

By Lindsay Stordahl on March 24, 2008

My boyfriend Josh, my mutt Ace and I just returned from a backpacking trip in western North Dakota. I thought I’d post some photos instead of trying to explain the beautiful scenery. If you ever get a chance, visit Teddy Roosevelt National Park. We didn’t see anyone else in the park!

    Absolutely love the photos, looks quite an adventure. Dogs are banned in our national parks so Chels and I will be looking at private properties, but there are alot of them around…

    With Aces head, blaze on his chest and blue paws he has to be crossed with a Dane…looks alot like Chels :)

    Absolutely beautiful! So glad Mother Nature agreed with your timing and provided the great mild weather. Love the harmony between you two and Ace.

    Sometimes I think Ace has a little great dane in him, too. He is pretty small compared to a dane, but looks kinda like a great dane pup. Who knows…

    Ace has always been pretty good at sticking close as long as there are not other people and dogs around. A lot of it is just his personality and wanting to stick with the pack. The rest is me making sure I remain a leader at all times and lots of practice with heeling and the recall.

    What a cutie! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that camo jacket. I wish hubby would let me get coats for our dogs but they are very furry and he worries they’d get too warm. =)

    Gorgeous photos too!

    Wow, those photos look absolutely gorgeous! Looks like you guys had fun :D . I wish I could convince my boyfriend to go camping with me and Keeda in a large secluded park. He won’t even let her into his car :(
