The poop-monster and I went on a two hour bike ride from Elmira to Wallenstein this morning. There are few things in life that seem to satisfy her as completely as a fresh pile of horse shit by the side of the road. Luckily, our little trek offered her plenty of opportunities to experience absolute bliss.

While she ran around swamps and fields, I made plans to hike with her the 800km Bruce Trail from beginning to end. I’m just not too sure about her endurance. We hiked smaller sections in previous years, and she absolutely loved it. So this spring we’re going to test the waters and hike for seven days straight covering about 150km.

I’m planning to go around the Bear Lake area, so it would be really cool if any of you peeps could join us for a day, suggest any accommodations, or let us camp out in your backyard. In exchange for your help, the dog will gladly eat up any foul-smelling refuse she finds in the area. At least I won’t have to pack any kibble on the trip.
