@moxie - Can't you find someone to dog sit for you, or some friend who will take her in for a week or however long you're gone? It seems like that would be better than boarding her and certainly a helluvalot better than traveling with her.

No, I can't get the vaccine because I'm still in the 90 day window from when I got my positive test and I'm not in the right age group. CA is supposed to open up the ages to 16 and older next month, so I could probably try to get the J&J so I can get just the one dose and be done with it.
I'd be working from there, for sure (I guess it's on EST), but the pup situation has me waffling. I should check if I can bring her. That would make me happier.

:puke:
I've turned into one of those people.

I have a couple people I could ask, but I'm getting separation anxiety, thinking about it. Gross.

Yeah ... I ... I'm not one who has ever really understood people who travel with their pets, not unless they're going to be gone for a loooooong time.
I love my critters, but beyond not wanting to deal with all the crap that comes with traveling with a pet, it's always seemed less stressful for the pet to not have to travel.

I heard that to this tune. Fievel, is that you?
 
Anyone care to share their hiking shoe experience? I'm looking at Salomon or Hoka One. I just want something for walking in the hills that's light and grippier than regular cross trainer/sneakers for when the terrain unexpectedly changes. Nothing serious... couple of miles but I like cushiness & comfort. Hate having to always put moleskin on my heels.

I have some Columbia hiking sneakers that I'm pretty fond of. Lightweight and breathable but with a tough sole. I would only wear them on well maintained trails, nothing serious.

What did they run you? The two I have my eye on are ~$150. Is that the going rate?

No! Way cheaper, like $50-$70 range. These are not boots but sneakers designed for simple hikes.

This. We took our old dog Molly, on a long ass road trip...like 8 hours driving then camping for 2 days, then 16 hours driving, camping for another two days, and then like 24 hours home. It damn near killed her, I think. She ended up get a bladder blockage and passing a fucking stone, that ended with her having to get bladder surgery once we were home. They say it's unrelated, but I swear the trip induced it. She was a fucking wreck for most of it.

We let my SIL stay at our house now to watch our tard. It has only cost us one wrecked car, so...there's that.

The ones I was looking at are these, kinda ghey, but not totally :noidea:

And the Salomon's are just a little less noisy-looking:

I had a whole list of possible trail shoes last summer when I was looking to replace my hikers. I never did, and I tossed the list, but isn't it nice to know that i could have possibly helped you out here?

I had some good trail shoes from Adidas and New Balance years ago too seem to be more akin to what you are looking for. I think the New Balance were motion control also. If you gots the giant flat feets like me it makes a big difference.

I just want to avoid that butt clenching feeling when I'm walking downhill and zzzttt! My foot slips... I see the entire scenario in 2 seconds: slip, fall on my ass, bust my tailbone, slide down the hill, twist the fuck out of my ankle, heels of my hands are scraped to hell and I end up in a pile at the bottom, laughing to avoid crying, with nobody around for miles so i just sit there and die instead.
