Malibu, California
Dense Fog in the AM, 70s and sunny in the PM! Got to love California
Happy New Year! On New Years Eve, I took Yuki for her daily AM walk around Malibu Bluffs Park. The park not only has baseball fields and a paved sidewalk but also some easy hiking trails. Yuki has done one of the trails once when Skipper was around as Skipper led the way. Too my surprise, she insisted on taking one of the trails. So our usual 30 minute walk turned into a 1.5 hr easy but muddy hike. She did very well and led us back to the car. A first for Ms Yuki! Exciting because I'm thinking now I can go on hikes with her.
She got quite dirty so I had to give her a bath. After the bath and a huge breakfast, she slept for about 4 hours!
So the next day (New Years Day), I thought I'd take her again to Malibu Bluffs Park. We timed it so I can catch the first sunrise of the year. I thought we'd kick off the year with another hike. Well, that did not happen as dense fog rolled in where not only did I not see the sunrise but Ms. Yuki was in no mood to hike thru the fog. So instead we played tag. Where I would run to a place far but close enough for her to see and she will come chase me. This game of tag is also a first as usually I throw a ball, she chases it and sometimes brings it back. We played tag for about 15 minutes. She was so cute waiting for me to position myself so she could run in full speed to catch me.
So we'll see if the hiking and playing tag continue in 2012. Although Yuki will be 5 years old in 2012, she's got alot more new things to explore and learn.
