Reading about Patch's Mom getting a pack for Buddy to carry got me thinking it's about time Mensa gets introduced to her own pack. She's still a bit too young to be carrying any weight or going on real hikes but I figured it was a good time for to get used to wearing it.
I loaded Mavis' old pack with a couple empty pop bottles (to take up space without adding weight) and some of her favorite treats (so she knows why she's carrying this thing) and headed up to the local mountains.
Mensa acted like she didn't even notice her pack, which is exactly what I wanted to see. But I'll bet she thinks she would have caught all the squirrels she chased if she hadn't been wearing it.
Our walk took us to a waterfall. It's kind of tricky getting to the base of these falls, especially for a dog, but she did fine.
And, of course, the short clip (now that I have a camera that shoots video):
