Kimber in Gatlinburg

[KSmith]

As some of you have seen my photos of us on our pit stop at the War Dog Memorial, here are some photos of Kimber at Cades Cove and on the Gatlinburg Trail (the only dog friendly trail in the Smoky Mountains unfortunately--- unless you go over to NC) She is 7 months old now and we've been working for a while on the "place" command so that made photos quick and fun! Enjoy!

Beautiful!! I love that she has to carry all the essentials. How'd she do offleash?

Thank you! We don't really let her off leash it was just for short periods of time while taking photos-- during then she does do great though! Always comes back when called or if I act like I'm leaving her haha. There weren't many others out since it was pretty rainy that morning also. I think after she turns a year old I'll look into getting an e-collar and go out to my aunt's country property and see how well she really will do, might not even really need the e-collar but it would be a better piece of mind!

What a good girl and at such a young age! An ecollar would be a great tool. I still have mine on even though I hardly ever use it anymore. The other day there was a bunny right outside the door and in no time flat it took off and so did the girls. I yelled "LEAVE IT" and held the continuous down. They did a 180 instantly and the continuous came off as soon as wheeled around and sped back. Phew...still gives me a heart attack, lol. So good plan to have when she's old enough.

No pit stop at Jack's for Kimber?
She's grown up since the last pics.

It was actually so cheap! The good reviews encouraged me to let it be worth the risk and the fact it came with the pouches was awesome! I just bought the water bottle molle. We've used it quite a few times now and I even attach her leash to it and walk her directly from it and it's not ripping or anything, held up well.

When she wore it we had so many people ask to take her photo haha! Quite a few also asked if she was a search and rescue dog. I just said she was just "well-equipped" haha!

Your dog looks awesome with that back pack! She wears it like a boss especially in the first shot.

Thank you!! We are pretty obsessed with her-- and so impressed with how extremely well she did on this trip. 11 hours in the truck also and she did so good, we stopped every 3 hours or so but other than that she just slept or chilled. And did so good even with me relentlessly making her "place" and "wait" for photo ops hahaha! I like this one I took in Lexington, KY at the Thoroughbred Park because she still looks like a "puppy" here I sort of think hehe!

We did the "Tri-State Peak" Trail which is just 1.3 miles each way however it's pretty much vertical haha but you end up being in Virginia, Kentucky & Tennessee all at once so we had to do it! The selfie of my husband is pretty funny because Kimber & I were pretty much dying on the ground, thankful we were on level ground haha. She did fantastic I think the humidity difference down there compared to how mild of a summer we've had in IA so far just hurt us a bit lol.
Hope you all don't mind I'm sort of a photo junkie. I assume since there is a cute dobie in all the pics you will be happy to look though!
