Hiking Mt. Lemmon: Max's First Hike

It's a pathetic thing to have to admit, but Max has never been on a hike. This past weekend Paul's brother Brian came for a visit and we made the short trek up Mt. Lemmon for a hike. I wasn't sure how Max would be on trail. Shelty has always been a perfect trail dog and I had my doubts that Max could live up to her history. However, I was truly impressed that he stayed close, came when he was called and was even polite to folks we met along the way. For those of you who don't know Max, he is hyper protective of me and so we weren't sure what he'd do when we met people along the way; he can be quite crazy/obessive/bark happy. But he held it together pretty well. Yay Max!
