100 degree weather, sunny, 26 mile loop at the lake. Didn't see any eatbeasts at any of the trail heads except those with boat launches.
Until Sunday. Woke up and the puppy had walked through a briar/cactus/burr patch and couldn't stand up. The gf and I ended up pulling all the sharp stuff from her paw and slowly coxing her the 6 miles back to a trail head where i could run the last 6.5 miles to the car and drive back and pick them up.
Pup laid down 2 miles from the trailhead where they would wait for me and i ended up having to carry her and my 40 pound bag (excessive gear, was trying out a new tent system and brought other stuff just in case it didn't work out) pup weighs about 50 pounds.
Before you all start screaming animal abuse, yes we kept them hydrated, took many breaks in the streams and shade, and let them swim in the lake to keep both dogs cool.
Anyways. 2 miles and I end up slinging her across my shoulders on top of my pack, and walking with 90 pounds of gear and dog and water .
1.5 miles from the trail head it happened. The eatbeasts manifested. There was no help or assistance, there was just stares and comment over the puppy, "is that a wolf?" One sweat stained small fat asked, "ooh did you catch a wolf in there?" Exclaims a femayo with a leopard print sausage top and it's hair done up (on a single track trail, in 100 degrees) it and its mayo BF then try to ask if the trail would take them to the lake (the fucking trail goes all around the lake you stupid fucks) and pestering us while I am trying to grin and bear weight that I am not accustom to for too long of a distance. And then just stares from all the eatbeasts as we trudge down the trail. No encouragement, no offers of help, just stares and fucktarded commentary.
Btw I did carry the pup to the trailhead, the 2 dogs and the GF got a pleasant nap in the shade, and I busted the last 6 miles to the car. Then we went out for steak and salmon. Everyone is limping a little today, but everyone is safe. I guess thin privilege is carrying almost 2/3rds of your body weight for multiplw miles while fat asses stare at you and comment on you.

Fucking retarded fatties. One time I was at a train station and there was a groundhog on the other side of the track, this fat femayo started saying aloud "that a skunk? I think it's a skunk!"

๐๐๐ Femayo got a whiff of its own special stank and thought a groundhog was a skunk.
Thank you for the laugh!

Beautiful, beautiful pup. I am surprised that you are afraid that anyone would say animal abuse. Hell, that would be a dream for my dogs. Unfortunately the only really good hiking spot we have around here is down in a ravine and I don't trust my crazy dogs not to pull me over the edge. Obeasts and dogs are like oil and water.
One of my dogs in particular is not good with strangers (he's 62 pounds) and is bouncy. I have stopped taking him to the local pet store because of all the damn eat beasts. He would be fine if they would just leave us alone as I ask. But no.... that's apparently expecting too much. I had to literally run away from one of them because she wouldn't stop reaching out to try to pet him. Of course they aren't going to offer to help or at least shut the hell up so you can be on your way.

Eh 100 degrees is a little over kill, especially for the northern breeds.
Funny you say that... the GF's dog is a 35 pound Aussie mix and it is spooky. It is always fats that try to pet the dogs and inevitably get snapped at.

I am ignorant of what the northern breed dogs can handle heat wise. I have a German Shepherd mix and he used to (he's old now) handle the heat quite well. Live in the South so I see a few Huskies, Malamutes around here but not too many so I really stink at identifying those breeds/telling them apart. From the picture I thought Shepherd or Shepherd mix. Sorry! Like I said, Southerner so I suck at identifying northern breeds. I have a boxer so I have to be careful but yeah if you rested him a lot and let him get in the water I don't think it would be a big deal for him right now while he's young. Another year or two though and that won't be the case. My pitbull could handle it though no problem.

Fucking fats.. Anybody with a BMI bigger than 25 (except bodybuilders obv) should be banned from speaking. Yes, at all. Those mouths constantly open for food should not be allowed to make a fucking sound.

Which trail did you go to? 26 miles sounds amazing, but not in this weather.
PS your pupper is amazingly adorable. I want 30 of them.

Goodwater, it is a loop around Lake Georgetown.
Breeder is in Cleveland, she is a little shithead, love her, but gods... hell on wheels.
[–] la_fupacabra 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Aw, she's pure bred. :( Not that that matters, personally I don't get pure bred dogs (I prefer shelter or, like my current dogs, literally finding them on the side of a free way) but to each their own! She's super adorable, but a husky, so good luck keeping her out of anything ever.
I'll check it out soon, sounds fun! Thanks :D

I used to hike during warm weather. This story is the kind of experience that made me stop. Iโve only gone hiking and mountaineering in the dead of winter for many years now. Fats donโt do winter hiking or mountaineering. I think they stay in the malls or else down south during the winter.

Live in Texas now, cant wait till the end of August and I hit the bitterroot mountains.
Most of the hike was pretty peaceful, just the end... if it wasn't for the fact I was leaving the dogs and girl by themselves at the trail head, I would have loved to open a can of shitlording on them.
