A first for me…ice cycling! At #CJBrownReservoir

Opal was out playing in the show and somehow managed to make this perfect smiley face!

I believe this to be true. Thank you Tiny Buddha ✨🕊️

Bad Bunny is highlighting some of the most beautiful aspects of American culture and I'm lovin it!!!

Took the dogs out to #KiserLakeStatePark for lil off leash time, since I've been sick all week. I'm walking around when I realize Coral is stuck in the snow...all her legs were stuck while being neck deep in snow. 😆😆 Opal tried to run around her to find himself stuck too! #snowdrifts #dogsofbluesky

Finally finished off this set of #hiking challenges with #myadventurechallenge. Over 525 miles to accomplish it all and did nearly all of it with my dogs. Ruby was to be retired after this feat, but sadly never made it to the end. Opal did it all and Coral was in on the last few. #dogsofbluesky

Nothing better than falling asleep with your fur baby

Dog wisdom of the day!

Got the kiddos out for a lil bit before the storm gets here…couple of small #dogparks followed by some “illegal” off-leash time at a local park where they chased a ball in a field before exploring a playground nearby. #dogsofbluesky

Got out in 16*F temps to finish off the #Winter100Challenge with a 1.1mi hike at Mount St. Joseph for a total of 100.7mi in 2.5 months. Now I can hibernate for the rest of the winter…see y’all in spring! 🤣 #myadventurechallenge #dogsofbluesky

Tried to finish the #Winter100Challenge but came up 1/2mi short after a 9.2mi hike through the #TwinValleyTrail northern backpacking loop. Started challenging but eased up as we went. Followed a raccoon for about 1/4mi down the trail. More below… #dogsofbluesky #myadventurechallenge

Trail hopping around today after work. 3 trails for 4.9mi with 20*F temps and 15mph winds. Down in the woods is fine; walking the prairies is rough! #dogsofbluesky #Winter100Challenge #myadventurechallenge

I swear that chihuahuas are either angel potatoes or demons who will fight god. My neighbor has one of each and it’s hilarious seeing them together.

Lost a great one…improv and great vibes

Working on finishing the #Winter100Challenge with another 5.6mi. Took a bike path from one MetroPark to another before crossing the #GreatMiamiRiver into the heart of #DaytonOH with the #WagtownTrail. Sprinkles won’t stop us! Gotta change up the sniffs! #dogsofbluesky #myadventurechallenge

Waiting for a driver to take my car away, snuck in 3 miles at Duke Park and Robinson Reserve in #TroyOH. Nice lil park with a #dogpark, various sports fields, a fishing pond, playgrounds, and a walking trail. #dogsofbluesky #Winter100Challenge #myadventurechallenge

Today's quest was at #AntiqueVillage, an indoor antique flea market. Dogs did well with the narrow aisles after a few collisions. Opal even showed off & booty danced for a stranger. Coral gave out a few shy licks. Not really my sort of venue, but nice enrichment for the dogs. #dogsofbluesky

Cute raccoon in a knot hole 🥰

Through the year, my kiddos get very little human food, except for their #birthday! Boiled potatoes & carrots before adding them to ground turkey to brown. At the end, added a splash of chicken broth. ZERO issues with Opal eating veggies this year! Followed it with a little ice cream #dogsofbluesky

Bringing in the #NewYear with a 12.7mi hike around #CaesarsCreekSP. 20*F all day in mostly icy trail conditions. DEFINITELY have some tired pooches tonight! #dogsofbluesky #hiking #winterhiking #Winter100Challenge #myadventurechallenge

30 seconds of calm. Brought to you by #CrawdadFalls

New Years Eve hike to wrap up the first half of my #Winter100Challenge at #PossumCreekMetroPark for 5.4mi. When the wind can get ya in the prairies, it’s 🥶; otherwise it wasn’t too bad. Two months and I got in 64.2mi. Rich history at this park…more below #dogsofbluesky #myadventurechallenge

Second stop: 2mi at the John Wannemacher MetroPark outside #TroyOH. First time coming here…wasnt impressed as it was mainly a prairie walk. #WinSomeLoseSome #dogsofbluesky #Winter100Challenge

First stop: #Winter100Challenge with another 3.4mi completed along the Roger Presley Trail, a trail initiated by a man after losing his mother. City of #TippCityOH found out about it later and supported the project. #hiking #hikinglore #myadventurechallenge #dogsofbluesky

Finally back on the trail after a very difficult week, mentally and emotionally. 2.8mi along the #MadRiver at #EastwoodMP on a foggy morning. #mentalhealth #dogsofbluesky #myadventurechallenge #Winter100Challenge

Sometimes your needy ass dog knows exactly what you need… #dogsofbluesky #shesgone

Dads been busy dealing with someone in the hospital lately, so we’ve been *patiently* waiting for out next adventure #dogsofbluesky

Only restroom sign that is needed lol

The holiday event I was looking forward to was cancelled due to the weather…bummer. Decided to still get the pups out to see #Santa and picked up a tray of holiday cookies! Opal was a bit apprehensive but warmed up. Coral wanted nothing to do with Santa! (My hand is on her shoulder) #dogsofbluesky

Pets aren’t just family…they’re precious life

DISCLAIMER** I am NOT a trail runner However, I do like to mix it up with the dogs periodically and go for a short run during our hikes. Dogs were obviously confused at first 🤣 #dogsofbluesky

Nearly 700ft elevation gain in just 6.2mi at #TwinCreekMetroPark in and out of the ravines. DEFINITELY a good place to train for the AT puds 🤣 Got the miles in before the winter storm and single digit temps 🥶 #Winter100Challenge #myadventurechallenge #dogsofbluesky

Getting in some miles for the #Winter100Challenge before the temps drop frigidly cold this weekend. 5.2mi through two #metroparks that are connected by a #swingingfootbridge over the #StillwaterRiver #myadventurechallenge #dogsofbluesky

The gremlin is needing fed! #staredown #dogsofbluesky

Enrichment for the dogs. Went and checked out two different holiday light drive-thrus, about a mile apiece. Windows down and letting the dogs check it all out. Even saw a Sasquatch! #dogsofbluesky Finally found an event that allows dogs to walk around! So excited for next Sunday!

Second stop today was #BooneCountyArboretum where it was a nice 2.2mi hike along a paved path. VERY nicely done arboretum with sections carved out for the various kinds of tree species (ash, oak, etc) #Winter100Challenge #dogsofbluesky #myadventurechallenge

What’s a winter in the #Midwest without some #Bison?! Surreal experience as we could walk within 50ft of these majestic creatures at #BigBoneLickStateHistoricSite. Followed this with a 2.4mi hike through rough wet terrain. #Winter100Challenge #dogsofbluesky #myadventurechallenge

ZOOMIES IN THE SNOW!!! #dogsofbluesky

SUPER cold but not windy. I figured if ice was melting then it was warm enough to take the dogs! 2.1mi at #EastwoodMetroPark. Even snuck in some off leash time. Opal LOVES the snow! Zoomies while scooping up snow with his bottom jaw is Opal’s jam! #Winter100Challenge #dogsofbluesky

Title is a bit misleading, but LOADS of wide ranging ideas, tips, and activities for you to do with your pup! www.wagbar.com/weekend-dog-...

SUPER cold day where the wind can get ya, but down in the woods, you’re largely protected. Nice 2.4mi #hike around #CharlestonFallsPreserve. 31mi this month; currently ahead of target! WOOO!! #Winter100Challenge #myadventurechallenge #dogsofbluesky

The right music can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and even help with separation distress.Let’s explore what studies show and why certain genres work better #Dogs #BlueSkyDogs #DogsOfBlueSky #Doglovers

GO BUCKEYES!!! Take that Xichigan! Til next year…

Second stop was Wiggly Field. Coral started off a bit reserved with all the energy from the other dogs but VERY quickly warmed up once a ball was introduced! #dogpark #fetch

First stop of exploration today was the pioneer village at #GovernorBebbPreserve. Various building we could walk around but not see inside. Too cold for a hike but not for a short wander outside!

An old #girlscout camp converted into a nature preserve, #MyeerahNaturePreserve. Variety of habitats on the 3.1mi Red Trail. 29*F, windy, and snowing made it a tough-to-enjoy outing, but once ya warm up a lil, it’s not bad! #Winter100Challenge #myadventurechallenge #dogsofbluesky #hiking

Just discovered this and it's SUPER CATCHY! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4lk...
