Happy 5th anniversary to our dog, Jake! Five years ago today, Mike and I rescued Jake and took him home. He had a rough puppyhood. Shy and skittish, he earned the name Shaky Jake.

But when we hit the trail, he’s a wild man! Jake loves to run, fast ‘n’ furious. He scrambles up steep hillsides like a mountain goat. And, while hikers hold their breath, he surges straight down vertical cliffs – half running, half falling. He might be an adrenaline addict!

We’ve had lots of adventures together – and look forward to many more!
