[pct-l] Siberian Husky on PCT

[Diane Soini]

I usually don't join in the dog discussion since I have very little  
experience with dogs. On one of my two long hikes of the PCT there  
were two dogs. They both looked really very tired. One of them had  
the hiker limp just like people. Anyway, that's not my point...

I wanted to suggest that perhaps you could just finish the trail with  
your dog. Pick him up somewhere around Mt. Hood and hike to the  
Canadian border. It would be a goal for you, something to look  
forward to, and a big morale boost once you got him on trail with  
you. Of course, you might have to slow your pace a bit at first so he  
can get in shape. Knowing this might help you stay on time and not  
waste time in So Cal with all the socializing. Lots of times people  
want to join thru-hikers for a section so maybe someone could do this  
for you and as a condition bring your dog to you. This will also help  
you slow down a bit.

Good luck,
