Many teenage dogs experience training regression and bad behavior during their adolescent months.

more snow and this'll probably be the type of pics i'll be posting until late spring... winter is long and white here, so i'm told

[firelightfoxes]

now to more recents! we just had our first snowstorm of the season a few days ago. Lichen is SUCH a snow dog it's crazy. her joy is so contagious even when you're freezing your ass off

[firelightfoxes]

our proudest accomplishment! we summitted the highest point of New Mexico, Wheeler Peak. the summit is over 13k elevation and boy was it a challenge for me (novice hiker) but it was a blast and Lichen loved it except for all the breaks i had to take lol.

a snippet from our last kayak outing before the temps dropped for real

[firelightfoxes]

two different shorter hikes and some bones we found. probably elk

[firelightfoxes]

from a camping trip in some wilderness i'd never been to before. fun and Lichen did well for her first time camping.

[firelightfoxes]

from a nice walk around a nearby lake. fun to kayak on, but storms build so quick and it's hard to get to shore when it's windy lol

[firelightfoxes]

i've been gone! posting some of our recent(ish) adventures. this is from some random set of trails we found when the trail we wanted to go to was closed.

hello! i figured it was time for a new pinned post.

the human:

i'm Shiloh, he/him, mid-20s. i live in northern New Mexico and i'm usually running around with Lichen and my camera, drawing, playing guitar, or gaming.

the "dogs":

Ava is a husky/heeler mix born 8/16/17. she's very sweet and silly and a bit sassy. we did agility for a bit when she was younger and overall i got my training legs with her and learned so so much as we grew together. she is my very special girl! when i moved to NM, she stayed with her other dad in Texas. i miss her but she is doing great. her tag is #ava

Lichen is a mudi born 6/27/2022. she is extremely goofy, energetic, fun-loving, and sooo sweet. she is my companion in every way - co-pilot as i explore the wilderness of a new state, hiking buddy, kayaking pro, cuddle bug, and the audience for my guitar playing no matter how bad it gets when i learn a new song. she's a very do-everything dog. we also did agility and showing when we lived near civilization. her tag is #lichen.
