Hi everyone – Eileen the Rotten Tripawd here! Guess what I did yesterday?
I WENT ON MY VERY FIRST HIKE EVER.
The weather was finally cool enough (according to my Mama) and as you can see, it was somuchfun. Maggie and Elliot would run off the trails into the woods and then come back and check on me. I had no problem flying down the trails on my own!
But, as y’all know, I got tired pretty quick. Luckily, I had my Daddy there.
I don’t mind being carried around in my carrier, but I won’t be this little forever. Are there any other hikers here? What do you do once you get tired? Do your parents just take a break with you? Do they bring a wagon? Is there a backpack for bigger dogs to be carried in?
If you have any suggestions that would make my Mama chill out about future hikes, please send them our way!
Oh what funnnnnnn! I’ll bet that experience was something you and your pack won’t ever furget.
The carrier your pops has is really cute! Who makes it?
Yes there are tons of ways to manage a longer walk! Doggy strollers are one of the best. That way your packmates can keep walking while you get a ride in your chariot.
Here are just a few ideas from the Tripawds Gear blog.

If you try any we would looooove to hear about it.
We actually found it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VBDZQ8Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It was great (at least while I fit in it) and I didn’t get too hot in it during the summer because it was made with breathable material. Highly recommend it!
We haven’t had a chance to try out any of the ones you suggested, but when my pawrents do, they will definitely tell you all about it!
Thank you for the continued love, support, and helpful information!
