a hike to angel’s rest
atlas and i hiked to angel’s rest yesterday while my carpets were being cleaned. i like the hike – it’s not too far from portland, it’s in the gorge, a portion of it is shaded, and it’s less than 5 miles (the last two being important for a summer hike with a dog, i must say) – but i hadn’t done it in years.
i will confess that it was not as much fun as it could have been. this was purely my fault. i remembered the hike as being less rocky than it was, so i wore my five-fingered shoes, which have very little protection. i said “ow! ow! ow!!!” a lot.
can you tell what atlas thought about the hike? i will say that he did not like my ow-ing. (on the way down, i was idly wondering if that was how the trail felt on his feet, only i think his foot pads are much tougher, and possibly more cushioned, than my human feet.)
Angel’s Rest… what a place name! And perfect for that spot too–GORGEOUS view! Atlas does look happy… But your poor feet, Elizabeth. Rest those tootsies. ;o) Happy Day ((HUGS))

tracy: happy and hot. he was very hot.
tammy: hahaha. that might be what he’s saying indeed! nose smooshes to commence shortly.
Elizabeth, what a blessing to have atlas. He is a beautiful companion. I think he looks hot for sure. He must love going outside and expiring too…Have a great month and Happy August.
