One of the reasons we bought our house about 15 years ago was because of the stunning ravine forest which is right behind our backyard. We have been going for walks on the ravine's trails since the kids were little. It is truly a paradise for nature-loving people and, especially, their dogs.
For a few years now I've been meeting a good friend for a walk in the forest on Sunday afternoons. Unless life gets in the way, we escape for about an hour with Daisy and Mustee. It's a great way for us to talk about what's going on in our lives and to get fresh air and exercise at the same time. The bonus is that Daisy and Mustee have a blast together. As soon as Daisy sees Mustee at the front door she knows it means only one thing: Walk! It's all I can do to keep her calm enough to put on her leash. Once we're in the forest though, the leash comes off and they are free!

| Daisy and Mustee, best buddies. |
 |
| Happy dogs. There's so much good sniffing to do in the forest. |
 |
| The dogs like to lead the way on the paths. |
 |
| The trees are bare but I still find the forest beautiful in November. |
 |
| I just love the sound of walking on dry leaves. Pretty soon, the ground will be covered with snow. |
 |
| The only downside to the walk, is how dirty the dogs get. Not sure if you can tell from this photo that Daisy is absolutely filthy. She's not a big fan of bath time, however it's a must after running around in the forest. |
Cute dogs!
