Finn's First!

[Nanno]

Well, Phil took Finn out for a hike today, just the two of them, and Finn was a real trooper. Phil reports that he only baa-aa-ed on the truck ride out and again when they turned up the driveway toward home. On the trail he was quiet and bounced happily along without a leash, crossed all the water without hesitation, and only tried to turn back once when he started following some other hikers. Phil is completely impressed with our young packgoat-in-training! Finn even fell in the creek without much fuss. He slipped off the log and went in at the deep end and got soaked. But he came out, shook off, and kept right on going without mentioning it. Despite his ducking, he had no fear of crossing back over later on. It's early days, but this one looks like turning into a real hiking champ!
