When we adopted our puppy Trooper a couple of months ago, my husband had high hopes of Trooper becoming a good hiking partner. As you can see, Trooper is a terrific hiking buddy! (All of the photos were taken by my hubby... and yes, Trooper really is as goofy as he looks.)

Here's Trooper taking a little breather on the way up to Dollar Lake.

Somehow my husband always manages to get Trooper to pose by the sign posts.

When Trooper first started accompanying my husband on these hikes he was a little apprehensive of the water. Now that he's bigger, he loves splashing in the streams! Here he is watching the water rush by...

Now he's posing by the Pacific Crest Trail sign post...

Trooper is also an expert at finding the shady spots. Sometimes I think we should have named him Ferdinand (
after Ferdinand the bull) because he loves nothing more than to lie down in the shade and enjoy the sights and sounds around him.

Trooper had fun sharing his favorite hiking places with you! Click

I can't believe how fast he's growing! waagh!! He still has that puppy look but that'll be gone soon.... and i noticed the Pacific Crest Trail goes through big bear! i didn't know! charlie may have walked the trail further up the coast, but i know his brother and Audrey have spent quite some time on the trail.
Ollie: Trooper looks like he can take care of himself.
Trooper is the perfect name for a hiker! He looks to be having a fun time.

That is one lucky dog...
He does have a comical expression on his face. What a handsome boy. You and your husband are very lucky.
I love the one of him looking at the water; but they are all wonderful!
Trooper looks like a super dog.
I think Trooper should start his own blog, so that we can all go hiking with him. :-)
Trooper is such a handsome dog and I'll bet he keeps your blood pressure down and happy mood up.
He cerstainly is a little Trooper. Lovely images and text.
I love seeing pictures of Trooper! He's adorable. And growing so fast. :o)
He is so lovely! Great company on a hike.
Trooper is a might fine dog. I'm with him on the shade.
What a great looking dog.
Just got back from hiking. The dog wouldn't go. She isn't an outside girl. She prefers to stay home. Have you seen the ad where the dog brings the guy his breakfast to get him out hiking, then goes back to bed? That's our Aphrodite!
He really is a beautiful dog !
How nice with some company while hiking, our dog is a huntingbreed and also spend a lot of time with my husband in the forests.
Trooper is a real trooper!! He looks like he's having a lot of fun!
Oh he is adorable, i bet he is loving these hikes as much as hubby is and having him along. Great photos
