I un-retired Hercules. We have been doing trail work at the entrance to Hansen Dam East. For us, trail work mostly means picking up any and all trash we might find on our strolls.
Today we collected more boulders for our garden. The VW bumper works great as a boulder collector. We've got a lot of beautiful river rocks around here. My aunt Maylee would love them. She used to paint faces on boulders. I would love to see those again.
Lesson: Keep your trails clean. Walk your dog. Take a picture.

PS. Hercules has been with my family for 8 years now. We got him for Ona's 4th birthday. He spent his first two years on a ranch in Oregon. He is a Lab/Newfoundland mix and is already beyond his prime. I retired him a couple years back because he is so unfriendly to other dogs, especially off-leash dogs. He would attack'em when they'd run up to him. Problem. So, now that he has lost a little more steam, I am taking him out again, and it is already improving his overall health.
Lesson: Keep moving.

BFT, I am coming to Los Angeles for business the 21st through the 25th. I would like to come visit and meet you if possible. I am interested in getting a pair of huaraches made and would also like to get some training tips from you. If you are not extremely busy one of those days and would not mind meeting, email me at josue.stephens(at)mac.com

My schedule is more flexible than most others, so I can usually set up a meeting that meets the needs of a visitor's schedule.
Just let me know.

I am doing research on where to get the best material for soles for my huaraches.
Vibram is a company famous in the world for making the highest quality rubber souls, and I have used Vibram soles on most of my huaraches.
I plan on offering a kit soon that would include the rubber sole plus straps for around $20.00 plus shipping.
For $40.00 plus shipping, I am selling a custom pair of huaraches to fit your foot. They are still experimental, but if you like to experiment on yourself, these will help you do that.
