Went on an off-leash hike with the Ed Man in Carmel and met up with a 9 month old wolfdog (who was about 100 times bigger than Eddie).  The pup was rambuctious and probably should have been kept on leash, but Eddie's best friend is Taboo so he was totally unphazed.  Incredibly beautiful hike-- under the cypress and pines, crisp blue skies, and the fresh smell of green growing things after a misty, cold morning. Back to the inn for a hot cup of joe...
