Going out with a bang! End of Summer 2010

We were told by the initial vet that Yoho should exercise as little as possible... how can we do that to him!?!  Yoho loves to hike and loves the mountains.  Instead, our goal is to get him out as much as possible so that he can live his final days to the fullest.  He no longer will eat anything but Salmon, which is good, as Salmon are running in the Fraser and I have started fishing to keep him (and us) nourished.  Over the end of the summer we have taken Yoho and Pinto up three more mountains: Two in one day near Tenquille Lake, and one above Blowdown Cabin with Jess and Estelle Stewart (our dear friends) visiting from Jasper.  FYI, Blowdown Cabin is now my favourite place.
