That’s awesome! I wish I could have more dogs but one is a lot to handle already. Props to you!

My goal for 2022 is to go back to Mexico to complete Iztaccihuatl. I hiked this volcano last year but only went up to the first peak or what they refer to as the toes of the sleeping woman. The volcano has the distinct peaks which are referred to as the head, breasts and knees as depicted in the picture below. The volcano has a legendary tale that makes it that much more intriguing.

This is Popo short for Popocatepetl. He’s a pug. He’s done up to a 7 mile hike with me to Sunset Peak but lately gets overheated or tired quickly so I rather not take him on long hikes, rather short walks at the local park. He does love the outdoors and his buddy Gizmo the cat ?.

Not sure if I’ve ever seen a shirt with finisher names on them. There are patches though.

I have encountered many snakes 🐍 including rattle snakes. I’ve encountered a few bears 🐻 and once a mountain lion 🦁 on my hikes. Unfortunately or fortunately, I did not get a chance to take picture of the mountain lion.

Fortunately I have not had an encounter with my dog but on my own, yes.

Hi Ali,
Very nice picture with your beautiful Nina!

Awesome Dog! I am sure she is super happy you picked her up and adopted her! What a shame of people that dump their dogs in this manner.
