Jed and his foster brother Beau went hiking recently. Jed had a great time, and once both dogs figured out how to manage each other on the coupler (gadget that allows one leash to be attached to 2 dogs) things were great. Jed was friendly to everyone we met on the trail. He seemed distressed when a young hiker (about 4-5 years old) was crying and even licked the kiddo's tears away. Jed's moment actually came after the hike, when we went down to the Little Maumelle River (really just a creek) and got a drink from near the boat ramp. Jed enjoyed splashing and swimming, and generally couldn't have been happier. I took him by himself to a quieter area and he retrieved the retriever bumper like a pro. Jed now has a hobby that he is good at and enjoys.
