"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in
awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit
clean."

One of Maggie's views from the top of Windy Hill
While I was in Utah working Maggie was back in California. She went for a 5.5 mile mountain hike at Windy Hill Preserve. At the top of the trail there are 360 degree views from San Jose to San Francisco. Maggie used her Gulpy water dispenser to pack in water for the trip. Hikers admired her cleverness in bringing this container. Maggie, being the social girl she is mingled with folks along the trail while hiking. She shared her happy good nature. It was a hot day. Maggie's tongue was to the ground. It's amazing how long English Springer Spaniel's tongues can reach. Although Maggie was carefully checked for ticks after the walk, she did bring home one little wondering tick. It was removed immediately. One warning she has to other dog owners is stay on the trail away from the trees and get checked for ticks after hiking. Maggie loved her long hot hike. Her spirit was washed clear away as she enjoyed the beautiful day with her family back home. At the end of the day Maggie stayed in one spot exhausted. She remained content her happy heart was filled with nature's memories. I give special thanks to the family back home for taking Maggie on a hike at Windy Hill Preserve. Maggie loved it. Woof Woof
