With the extra free time during the long holiday weekends, we spent lots of time trying to burn off all of the excess calories that were consumed. While I doubt the scales are tipped all the way back in my favor yet, we did get in lots of outdoor time. Nothing makes the boys happier than an off-leash run in the woods. For this walk, we chose a less developed stretch of trees with a large stream. It's amazing that living in a heavily populated suburban area, I can walk through this little patch of woods and never see another person enjoying it. All the better for us, of course!

| As soon as we entered the woods, Jim went straight into high alert! So many smells, so little time. |

| Can you see what Wilson sees? Click to enlarge. |

| Jimmy: Why does she always post the pictures where my ass looks big!? |
 |
| A little sip of sparkling water |

| Alas, the boys were always on the wrong side of the water when they spotted the deer. |

| Scanning...Scanning...Drat! Nothing! |

| Here's a close-up of the tree to Wilson's right in the picture above. I guess the beaver got too tired and gave up on this tree! Is that where the expression "Bit off more than I can chew" came from :-) I am surprised it is still standing with such a diminished base. |
That looks like a really fun outing! And that tree is pretty amazing! Scientific wonders!
ReplyDeleteWhat size Comfortflex harness is Jimmy wearing? I tried a friend's "small" on Porter & it was a little tight. I wasn't sure whether to go with a small/medium or a medium. Thank you!
ReplyDelete@Porter - Hi, Jimmy's Comfortflex is a "SM". He is just 12 inches at the withers and weighs 34-35 pounds, and is quite slim. There is still plenty of room to adjust the harness larger if I needed to, girth-wise.
ReplyDeleteWilson, who is noticeably larger at 13 inches/40 pounds would probably be better server with the Medium so it would fit around the front better. But the SM does still fit his girth if I expand it bigger than Jimmy needs.
Hope that helps :-)
Great photos, Taryn. You live in a lovely area.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Porter is 11" tall & about 33 pounds, but he has an awful large chest :)
ReplyDeleteI measured his girth this morning & it was 23-24" (depending on how tight I pulled the tape!) which puts him in the sm/md harness.
I was just looking for a little more feedback from a fellow cardi owner with the harness, which you provided :) Thank you again!

That beaver must have big teeth ;-)
