Took a short little 2.5 mile hike up the Butte today. When Bella was sick on Sunday, she refused to hike up the Butte. She is all better now and eating and keeping her food down. So, I figured she would be delighted to go hiking. To my surprise, she balked again just past the trailhead and refused to continue. I picked her up and carried her a short distance then put her back down. She still didn't want to walk. I knew she wasn't sick anymore, so I gave her a tug and said, "Let's Go!" she gave in and not only started walking, but she was also now pulling me on her leash. She trotted all the way to the top and ran all the way back down. So, I'm not sure what her issue is with the bottom of the Butte Trail, but it must not be anything too serious. I wonder if she sees ghosts of past hikers, or perhaps that area was once a Native American burial ground. Who knows? It was a gorgeous blue-sky day for a nice little hike.
