The things you find on a hike

Yesterday, I took the dogs for a short hike behind our housing area. We often do this little two mile loop and often we find interesting things on our treks. This time, we found what looked like what was left of a wild turkey carcass and a couple of coveys of quail. We were down to the last 1/2 mile of the hike when we ran across a Husky on the trail.

I saw her before the dogs did and figured that the owner was somewhere near. I leashed my guys up and prepared to go on with the end of the walk. But, there was no one anywhere about. The dog was obviously well fed and had recently been brushed, so I figured she was being a typical Husky and had gotten out and gone for a walk on her own. I was able to get all three Tollers connected to one Flexi-lead and used Ceilidh's leash on the very thirsty Husky. Luckily she had tags on with her phone number and I was able to quickly get her back to her relieved owner. I'm always glad when there's a happy ending.
