I love Alaska. We got to see an Avalanche! Gadget was wiped out. (at Crow Pass Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUZqZlFpVVM-R4ldf5Jf05USxKeVgkK2AYC0I0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another day, another hike! https://www.instagram.com/p/CcmQnoNrVvK844Yj3gdX62YFwAM1gUM5QMze_80/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pictures from our hike today. First one of the season! It was fun, but crazy slippery...and I fell. I felt so dumb for not grabbing my spikes. (at Eagle River Greenbelt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcMH_GHP5OQXtfVe37Hfz0YSrTeRHAn8kVIX6A0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Gadget gives her sniffer a workout. If you have a smart breed or a breed that loves to use their noses (hunting), then I highly suggest this to keep them entertained! Though, any dog would enjoy this. It's mental stimulation and approved destruction, both important for a dog's wellness. The best part is it's reusable and super easy to put together! You need: - Holee Roller - get the appropriate size for your dog. - Non-Pil Fleece - I bought 1/2 yard at Joann's for $5. - Treats! - I buy larger treats that I can cut or rip into 1/2 thumbnail sized pieces. You can also use kibble. All you have to do is cut the fleece into strips. I did (10) 3in strips and (12) 1.5in strips. I tied several of the smaller strips to the ball and rolled a few pieces in the larger strips before stuffing it all inside the ball. When the strips get dirty I can throw them in the wash! Gadget got about 15 minutes worth of entertainment/work, but she really had to put effort into it. A little effort on my part makes for a happy pup, and less stress for me. https://www.prouddogmom.com/holee-roller-dog-toy/ Also, if you have a new dog/puppy I recommend @simpawtico_training. Super helpful tips!! Okay, PSA over. :) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJVbTEvc8cYB6Ek3SUFaXZPW2wuD2BlcT0PHI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
