Nine Mile Hound

This walk was pretty good. I sniffed and tracked the length of this big Pittsburgh slag heap otherwise known as "Nine Mile Run." Although the vistas of the Mon River valley were impressive, I was depressed by the complete paucity of local fauna and flora. I tracked not a single squirrel, or rabbit or deer. And not for a lack of trying! (See above.) It was only when my monkey-person and I reached the river that I annoyed a few ducks with some fairly hapless mock charges. After three hours, I returned to the den exhausted and muddy - which is a good thing - but, alas, I can only give this walk a B+.
