Dexter's Outdoor Adventures
One of my favorite activities on the planet is hiking mountains. A month after I brought Dexter home, Wyatt and I took him on his first official hike up Mt. Chase in late October. Dexter towed me up the mountain as he navigated the roots, rocks, and incline with the athleticism of a parkour athlete.
At the summit, we ate snacks and admired the spectacular view of Maine’s expansive wilderness. When we returned to the trailhead a couple hours later, Dexter jumped into the truck’s front seat, laid down, and promptly fell asleep.
This was the first time I’d ever seen him so tired he couldn’t keep his eyes open. I laughed and said to Wyatt, “Well, I’ve finally found out how to expend his endless energy! I guess we’ll just have to hike more mountains!”
