Conducted maintenance on cache today and was greeted by Sandy the Mutt. Sandy has been stuffed in my cache since April, feeling bad that she has missed a beautiful spring, summer and fall I decided to foster this ol mutt. :) She was a bit dirty and not smelling so good, I figured I'd give her a treat and treated her to a bath. She looks wonderful now and smells fresh. If its ok with her owners, I plan to hang on to her till spring so she does not have to spend a winter under snow. My plan is to carry her with me as I hike the Appalachian Trail and many others,.. stay tuned for some pics of Sandy's adventures. Now worries I'll go easy on the old girl as I see she is a bit old. :)
