Hiking up to the cliffs of the Mt. Tom reservation, Bonnie and I were stopped by fellow hikers. “What does she carry in her pack?” “She carries her own water, I carry mine,” I replied.

Now that I own a border collie mix, I have come to realize that in a way, I kind of married another border collie (I am on the basset hound side myself).

While I am sitting in a classroom all weekend, they’re out adventuring. Then they come home and we’re all equally tired and we pile under the big wool blanket and watch a movie.
