Patty came along on a day trip into the Santa Cruz Mountains earlier this week. The range extends down the San Francisco peninsula from The City to the Monterrey Bay. I had some work to do near Santa Cruz so Patty waited in the truck.
When the work was done, we went for a walk. Well I walked and Patty ran of course. He’s always hunting, looking, listening and sniffing for birds. He loves his job.

There were steep cliffs in the area so I kept Patty close with verbal commands and even put him on a lead in some of the riskier spots.
It’s always great spending time with Patty outdoors and when I can, I carry a camera too. I took a little video on this trip so you can see Patty exploring for yourself. Enjoy!
