Hike 3 of 2019
In
the winter this is a hike we do a lot--it's in Suino, Switzerland--so I'll just count it once for
our 2019 tally. Not shown to the right of the picture is a valley with several horses
and the occasional Scottish cow.
Dog met: Maggie, an eleven-year-old yellow lab who was hoarse from barking so much.

Can You Find Tootsie's Paw?
It's Monday and the start of a new semester... what can we say?

Dog Beach, San Vincenzo, Italy
Yes, it's actually called Dog Beach! It's our happy place. We've visited this beach near San Vincenzo, Italy twice, and I really hope we'll visit again.
Cousin Itt came with us to Dog Beach. Cousin Itt is a great traveler and loves to cuddle Tootsie.
Here's a photograph of me (Renée) wearing my gorgeous handspun, handknit Fair Isle tam made by Susan Blackwell Ramsey--a fabulous poet & artist. Ramsey's poetry collection is A Mind Like This (University of Nebraska Press, 2012).

Hike 1 of 2019
We have been super inspired by our new friends @fridalou84
(and Baxter, too) who completed the 2018 52 Hike Challenge, so we
decided to keep better track of our hikes this year. Tootsie is 13 and as a senior doggy, it's a bit much to set big goals (and, geez, at her age, does she really have to feel the tyranny of New Year's resolutions?); however, since we hike all the time, we will continue to share where we go in 2019. I'm sure Tube of Fur will get carried a lot! I think one parameter of these hikes is that Tube of Fur has to come along and the hike should be a minimum of three miles.
Here is hike #1 of 2019: Passo Gandiolo, Liguria, Italy (in the hills above Genova).
🐾 Dogs met: Bilbo (yes, Baggins is his last name) & Lulu.
There was a fascinating man-made earth structure called a neviera, which was a pit dug into the ground and when it filled with snow, it was used as a freezer. Now it basically looks like a bulldozer took a chunk out of the ground, but the edges of the hole are smooth, and as the picture shows, it used to have a little freezer house on top.
