Miles bugs. He bugs and bugs until he gets what he wants. Whenever he wants to go out he will lay his head on me and put pressure on it. For example, if I’m typing he will place his head on my hands right on top of the keyboard preventing me from moving them. Once he stares at me with that puppy face and hazel marble eyes, however, I begin to melt.
I usually walk him around our neighborhood or at Laguna Lake Park, but I figured that if the world did end today, we’d at least be somewhere elevated so we can watch the earth crumble and/or explode ala Woody Harrelson in “2012.” But that didn’t happen which is a great thing because I don’t think the hill we hiked on was high enough anyway.
I decided to drive us to Peters Canyon Regional Park because they allow pets there as long as they’re on a leash. There were quite a number of people present but because the trail is loopy it’s hard to tell. The views were gorgeous and Miles thoroughly enjoyed it. He especially loved walking the narrow pathways and climbing up one of the steeper hills. At one point I had him pull me because I was getting tired. Too bad his dad wasn’t there to experience it with us, but we got to share some pictures with him along the way.

This was a tricky one to take!
