@matigo I miss my old dog from back home. You could take her deep in the country and hike for nine hours straight. She'd be ecstatic the entire time.
She was abandoned as a puppy in our back yard. So tiny she'd fit in the palm of your hand. 100 pounds later she was still a cuddly ball of fur. When I left home, she remained there to keep an eye on Mom. Lived 19 years.
