I laughed when I read this trending headline: “Groundhog predicts an early spring. Don’t get too excited, he’s usually wrong” early in the month of February. Here we are approaching March, and I can’t help but think winter has decided to fully mock the groundhog. Let’s be in on the joke with this moody winter […]

Backcountry Paws Gaiters
Winter hikes are mine and Atlas’s favorite activity. Typically you will find less traffic on the trails and more opportunity for off-leash freedom. The best reward of all is the snow covered mountain tops and dusted trees. As much as we will always welcome and glamorize the snow, with it comes colder icy conditions that […]
Kurgo Journey Air Dog Harness
Going on hikes can be very enjoyable, but it also means that you need to find appropriate gear for both you and your dog. A properly fitting harness for your canine is just as important as a properly fit pair of hiking boots for yourself. Using a harness decreases the risk of neck injury from […]
Hurtta Adventure Harness
There are countless harnesses on the market made with adventure dogs in mind. Some are overly complicated with many features designed to allow you to climb, and hike in extreme environments with your pooch. Others are rather simple without many features or padding to allow your dog freedom of movement on his journeys. There are […]
EzyDog Summit Backpack
As an avid hiker and backpacker, reducing the weight in my backpack is more than ideal, and having the option for Delilah to carry a few of her things (e.g. food, treats, poop bags) is great. For the last month and a half, Delilah has been testing EzyDog North America’s Summit Dog Backpack in size […]
Ruffwear Approach Pack
Sometimes people ask me what made me decide to get my dog Atlas. There were many reasons why I wanted a dog in my life and it’s hard to narrow it down to what aspects of having a dog like Atlas appealed to me most. When searching for my beloved companion, I was hoping for […]
Canine Equipment Ultimate Trail Pack
If there’s one thing I like more than hiking with my dog, its backpacking with my dog. Being out on the trails and camping somewhere remote and beautiful that you can’t just drive to is one of my all time favorite things. To help out with the load, Breezy always wears a dog backpack when we […]
Hurtta Downpour Suit
Fall is quickly approaching and with it, rainy season! Personally, I love the foggy mornings, the colorful leaves, and the empty trails but I dread the exponential increase in dog bathes. For us, it is equally important to have a functioning dog jacket for changing weather conditions as it is for the human’s to have a […]
Hurtta Drizzle Coat
If you live in a region where it rains, having a good rain coat for your dog is an essential part of their gear attire. This summer Hurtta America sent their new Drizzle Coat in size 22 and color purple for Delilah to test. My first impression of the Drizzle Coat was how well constructed […]
