Sam Brooks
Lately I’ve been taking Samuel, my almost three year old mischievous Golden Retriever Lab mix to Ijam’s Nature Center, located in South Knoxville, for both of us to get some exercise.
The good thing about Ijams is you can go for decent walks in the shade on their over 12 miles of trails, and thus paws don’t get burnt like they do on hot concrete sidewalks.
I think Sam has ESP (Extra Sensory Perception)- earlier today I began to prepare for our trip to Ijams, and without me making a move for the leash he began to act excitedly as if he knew we would be heading on a trip, doing his characteristic jumping on me with the “placement of the paws.”
