The weather was beautiful Sunday. The rains from Saturday had passed and the temperatures were very pleasant. So we spent the day outdoors and hiking on trails. The Herd will attest that the black and blue berries are terrific at the moment.
Kodiak has a real eye (or nose) for exactly where the best berries are - a perfect example of a "drive-by" picking.
Black and White team has learned just to follow Kodiak.
Natasha even goes for the exact same spot and plucks the berries from up high.

Qannik has never been accused of being the fastest car on the track, but he emulates his big brother, Kodiak, all he can. So further down the hike, Qannik kept reaching up into the brush lining the hiking trail to snag berries. We had to keep explaining that berries did not grow on cedar branches, pine branches, etc. Never stopped him from trying, though.

As we exited the trail to get back into the Jeep, a couple was harvesting wild blueberries. The Herd focused in on the woman who had a giant hand full of berries just above Siberian nose level. Reacting to all of them staring at her, she exclaimed, “Oh, look, they really like me.” Avoiding a lesson about the nature of Siberian Huskies, we kept The Herd moving so that she was not mugged for the berries.
