Cargo Dog

The lamest part of most long hikes is the pig... By pig I mean your back pack. Despite ones best efforts its usually heavier that you'd like. That why this year I invested in upgrading the Humphrey's regular Lab into a sleek, designer, fuel efficient, 2010 cargo-dog. There were a few colors available but I went with the green.

Yesterday I took Jane out on one of the cross country ski trails to test it out. I loaded her pack up with 5 Liters of water, 11 pounds. I was a little concerned she wouldn't like it or it'd be too heavy and cumbersome for her but she didn't mind a bit. She would stop to shake occupationally and would forget it was there and bump it into stuff. She did however spent the whole walk trying to get me to throw sticks for her so... yeah she wasn't too distracted.
