The Hachi Chronicle

Hachi is finding his inner puppy here at Labrador Valley. He is reveling in his off-leash play time. We humans watch him and smile. Pure joy.


I can take him with me for mountain bike rides here. That is such a joy! I took this photo in the middle of a ride on a glorious autumn day.

Most of the week was great for Hachi but he had one rough day. A couple of contractors visited the house and then, shortly later, we took him hiking at a popular mountain trailhead. He had a rougher time than usual with people passing on the trail even when we moved him far away from them (by going into the forest next to the trail). I'm chalking it up to the contractors making him tense before the outing... which then made hiking near strangers more difficult.

I'm not too concerned. Hachi is doing astoundingly well given the changes in our lives.

    So pleased that most of the week was great for Hachi. And after all, we all have bad days now and then!

    I think Hachi needed this more more than you did. He's thriving in his new home. Wonderful.

    Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the pups. ♥

    He recovers better these days, doesn't he? I hope so because seeing him relaxed and happy in a field of yellow is wonderful.

    Hachi I 100% understand...contractors/strangers in and out make me a bit on edge too.
    Here's to a very good week to you, Shyla, Mom and Dad

    I pray and hope that hottie will one day get over his stranger issues but even if it doesn't he's well worth the love you give him

    We have our first pack visit with a training professional this weekend. Seeing Hachi doing so well, gives us hope that our pack can coexist in the future!

    You know your boy best! The photos are lovely, I imagine he'll enjoy the snow just as much.

    Take care and stay well.

    We are so happy Hachi is doing so well. One off day is not bad considering how far he has come.

    Contractors scare us too. We know you will get used to them. You have come so very far.
