Autumn '08 in the Smoky Mountains

I hear that the hiking is great in Smoky Mountain National Park - especially in the fall. I wouldn't know because of this:

Clearly I know when I am not wanted!

However, my people do take me for long walks in our neighborhood which is just outside of Smoky Mountain National Park and I think it is quite nice.

Except when it rains...I hate when it rains. Bad for my hair.

Damn!
