An Espresso Smile

3/365



He sprints towards me barking and showing his teeth. Does he want to rip me in two? Nope. He wants to give me a hug. An Espresso smile. He does it every time I get back from being away. I left him at my parents over New Years while I went to Gray Knob. I hate leaving him, especially when I am going hiking — he's the best hiking dog ever afterall. But in the winter, it's a tough decision. Crampons and snow shoes could cut his feet, and while I have a warm sleeping bag and a bivy sack to sleep outside, he does not. I'll make it up to him though. Right buddy?

This is the first time I've managed to capture his smile on camera. I am determined to get it better.
