While I know handsome Dalton enjoyed sniffing all the great smells along the trail and meeting the other hikers, his absolute favorite part was playing ball with his person! In an endless loop of Deborah throwing the ball waaaay out into the lake, and Dalton swimming to retrieve it. As I sat crouched at the shore with my long zoom lens dialed in, I kept thinking, "ok, one more round and he'll tucker out". Dalton is technically a senior citizen after all. But he never did! Swim after swim he went out and back in a dazzling spray of water.
