(I hope the resizing worked) He loved every minute of it! I was amazed at how well he did. He seemed incredibly natural out there. He climbs over logs and everything else, and in all of the pics he's posing himself! The hike was the perfect length too, right as we were about out he started to get tired and wanted up, so I carried him out the rest of the way. 
They are not wild "wicked" women…gggg... I know of a few "mellow" ones.. and usually I have found, it is the boys that are pretty wild in their younger years, more then the girls most of the time.
There is stuff you can buy to put on her pads to protect them while they toughen up... and she would be one for sure that I would be very careful with on pavement/roads/sidewalks in the summer when the sun has really hot... that is what can really bother their feet, tough or not..
The 2 females I had were tough and devoted. Good point about the heat. That hot pavement is a killer and I don't think people realize it either.
