This was Thunder's first trip since his knee surgery. We've been very slowly increasing his exercise. 2 miles is nothing to him. 3 miles is also easy. 3.5 to 4 is a bit tough if it includes hills so we take lots of breaks and I make sure he's well hydrated.
He did great. We got back yesterday morning and even though he slept and slept all day yesterday today he's bouncing around like a puppy again.
However, the big event of the trip ended up not being his knee recovery, but a local fire which affected us way more than we expected. I think you'll be surprised how much smoke there is as the video goes on.
But then, about 2:30 in the morning, a breeze came up and cleared out the smoke and we were able to watch the Perseids meteor shower.
I hope you enjoy it. Even though it was a short trip it was sure good to spend time in the back country with my buddy again.
