Our return to the Pacific Northwest! After a year hiatus in Minnesota, Sara, Bella and I returned to Seattle at the end of August 2004. To celebrate, Susan and I took Pete and Bella on a hike to the top of Mount Si. I hooked up both Pete and Bella to my pack hands-free, so I felt like a sled for sled-dogs! They both behaved themselves quite well, until Bella got a bit snappy at the top with other dogs. Besides that it was nice to get out and do some real hiking again!
