Dear Oscar, From your running log, I see that you did not run yesterday. Did you get any exercise? Sincerely, Dog Log-Watcher

Dear Log-Watcher,

In fact, I did go for a little walk yesterday -- up the Burrows Trail to the top of Camel's Hump. Things looked slightly unfamiliar to me as I traffic Burrows more often in the winter months. But we were looking for a short hike to a summit, and this is the quickest way up and down the Hump.

We were joined by John G, who came all the way from BC to make the hike. Johnny seems to have traveled east with his hometown hockey team, but I hope John's sojourn in New England has been more restful and hospitable than that of the Canucks. Nobody was very welcoming to them.

Meanwhile, it was also nice to go on a hike with Gladys the puppy. Being an older sibling, of course, is a big responsibility. She was excited, but I believe I showed her how to pace oneself and behave. I never run off on a hike; I don't want to give my humans any reason to consider not bringing me. Gladys did a great job, and I look forward to many more hikes with her in the future!

Oscar
