Knox Mountain Pug

May 15, 2008

Since the weather’s been nicer, but not yet too hot for Giggs, we’ve been out hiking a few times. My friend and I are trying to make it out twice a week and the boys come with us on the weekends. (Gotta get those beach buns back into shape!)

So far we’ve only been going to Knox Mountain since there’s lots of trail variety and it’s super close to downtown (so we can go for coffee afterwards -there go the beach buns!) Anyway, here’s some pictures from our hike about three weeks ago.

Here’s the view from one of the lookouts, overlooking my city:

Here you can see our new bridge being constructed, it’s supposed to open at the end of this month.

The yacht club was having a sailboat race:

Here’s the topmost lookout. Lots of people get married up here. There’s also washrooms and a water fountain (with a doggy dish) and a caretaker’s cabin/residence.

Giggs coolin’ his bellah!

A well-deserved water break in the parking lot before leaving the park.

  8. It looks like Giggs got pretty hot on the hike, I always worry because pugs are so bad at cooling themselves in the heat. I had to cut Lucy’s walk short yesterday because she was all raspy panting.


  9. What a beautiful hike! Love that Gigg’s face!


  10. ahh…the frog pose! the best way ever to cool one’s belly!
    Looks like fun!
    Love,
