    Just an AZ noob and her dog!

    Hello from Tempe, AZ! I'm an undergrad student at ASU in bioengineering with plans on vet school. I got my first dog as an adult in December of 2011. She's a mix from the pound, but she looks a whole lot like a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever. Anyways, I've been exploring everything I can possibly do with my dog and that's how backpacking came up, and then on to UL backpacking. I bought a cheap Grand Truck hammock to try the hammock way and it has been a blast so far! I feel myself being drawn in to the madness! Anyways, thanks for such a great forum experience so far!

    Here is a pic of Ellie and I in Sedona, AZ:

    Welcome aboard. That is a cute dog you have. We are a Lab household (as you may well guess from my name), but Tollers are the one breed that my wife has allowed me to explore the possibility of as a non Lab addition to the family. Best of luck with school and enjoy your hang time and forum time.
