Baxter Woods

Gus and I just got back from a trip to Baxter Woods, one of Gus's favorite spots. Baxter Woods used to be our after work walk. Before heading to Baxter Woods, we made a stop at Planet Dog to pick up some Frontline now that we are back on the tick coast. I also got Gus a gourmet treat for later. We then hopped back in the car and headed to Baxter Woods. I am curious to know whether Gus will remember Baxter Woods, this will be the first place he's gone that he might remember- until now he is just in a new place. I parked in our normal spot and entered on Stevens Ave. The moment I unhooked the lead, Gus ran to his normal spot to take care of some business- exactly as he did two years ago. He knew every turn, and even went down the same path when the trail forked. Although there was still snow on the ground, Gus was full of energy and happy to be in the Woods again.
