Gretel’s first hike was 4 miles uphill in the snow. She was a little unsure but she quickly followed Chester’s lead and was go, go, go after that. She again proved that humans hike slower that weiner dogs.
Gretel is the newest addition to our adventurous family. She is a 10-month rescue dog that we adopted from Motley Zoo Animal Rescue last week. We are honored to give this sweet girl a loving home where she will be showered with attention and given the opportunity to take on mountain challenges for years to come.
She was not very socialized as a puppy and although she is very sweet and loving to those in her circle she has been known to growl and bark a little at people and dogs she doesn’t know. We are working on that so please, if you see her out in the trail, stop, say hi and show her you and your adventure pooch are friendly. She is a quick learner.
As with most puppies, she can be found snoozing when she is not out exploring new places.
Update: Months after we adopted Gretel we found out more about her mysterious past. To find out more about where Gretel came from see Gretel, Hookers and Blow and It Gets Deeper.

December 6, 2010 at 4:15 AMAndy – Thanks for checking out the blog. She does have a lot to learn but she is picking it all up quickly. She has already been on two hikes in the two weeks that we have had her. Today she was hiking so fast I was breathless just trying to keep up with her. She is quite the athlete.
