To celebrate our day off in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., the boys and I met up with Loren, Charlie, Birdie and Oscar in Griffith Park. Elizabeth is just about killing herself getting ready for her annual trip to Sundance so she couldn’t join the fun 🙁

It was a beautiful day for a hike. The wintery weather we had a couple weeks ago is long forgotten and we’re back to 70’s and 80’s and sunny “winter”.

We loaded into the car and headed to the park.

We heard a rumor there were rattlesnakes out today, so Charlie and Gus had to stay on their leashes. But that didn’t mean they weren’t allowed to run free at all…

The heat got to Charlie at one point and he found a nice shady spot to rest for a bit. He got low to the ground and spread out to create the most friction if I tried to drag him.

Birdie called it quits at one point too. Her dad is much nicer than me and she got a ride.

These little dogs are all troopers. This isn’t a particularly easy hike for those of us with long legs. Watching four little dogs spin their legs up the hills is great entertainment.

And as soon as we got home, they both went to their perch on top of the couch and passed out COLD!
