We took Isabel hiking for her birthday today. The weather was overcast and muggy, but not too hot, so we headed up to Great Falls a little after noon. We meandered up and down the trails, along the top of the gorge, and through the woods for about three miles. There was a bit of scrambling in some rocky spots, but for a 12-year-old dog, our girl did pretty well: tail up and trotting all the way. She slept soundly the whole trip home, but she was wide awake this evening when we went over to Bill and Emily's for Victor's birthday party, eager to see her cousin, Sonic, and one of her favorite cats, Trixie. She is never happier than when the pack is all together, and when we sang happy birthday to Victor in our traditional round, I think Isabel suspected it was for her, too.
