We’re settling in to our last weekend of vacation on Lower Saranac Lake. Nico has really proven himself this year as an amazing camping buddy. He does so well at just hanging around camp with us. He also seems very content with snoozing on his camp cot and going on short jaunts to explore the surrounding forest. And if anyone touches the paddleboard, he comes running, eager to jump on for a ride. Nico has been the most challenging dog I’ve ever worked with, but he’s also a rockstar in so many ways.
