Hey y’all! Since Christmas fell on a Wednesday this year, we’ve decided to do something a little different than the type of videos we normally post. The summer after completing the Appalachian Trail I found Fancy in the trash behind my house, and she’s always been an anxious, skittish dog. This past summer I took her backpacking on parts of the Pacific Crest Trail and she did an amazing job! Fancy never ceases to make me laugh, so I hope some of this footage of her can spread a little joy into your homes this Christmas. Thank y’all so much for following along with me over the years, and we’ll be back to regularly scheduled videos next week

2:20 Are you sure you adopted a dog? Makes me you think you have a pet penguin. =D
love the music selection lol
5:16 I was dying! She's a really fun dog!
I would like to nominate this to be best content all year thanks for taking us on your journey this year looking for bigger and better 2020
I think Fancy found yer catnip supply. I'll bet she dreams of a white Christmas from now on!
I love this. Thanks for sharing and happy late Christmas.
Sheer joy of living.
? it is a great joy to watch an unwanted shelter dog to come to life with love and patience. So rewarding, thank you for sharing that video I enjoyed it.??
amazing content!
Love this!
Happy Xmas Dixie Alabama ?????????????????????????????
She looks like a border collie.
More Fancy in 2020–this was adorable! We have a border collie mix we rescued 11.5 years ago, Tonks, who loves camping and trail time! We are planning many adventures inspired by your videos with her in the next year. Happy New year from a southern girl in Boston.
Funny funny. This is pure comidy and joy towatch
So happy you have found the joy and love of a dog. That little guy has a lot of character. I enjoyed watching him experience snow for the first time. How are other hikers responding to him being off-leash? Some people are not fans of dogs off leash.
Awh Fancy is the cutest. Life must never be dull with Fancy around ? thanks so much for sharing your Camino trip such a treat to watch. Happy christmas ???
Central Alabama girl is loving that cool snow! I used to raise Siberian Huskies, and cold weather weather made even the "old men" feel like puppies again!
The dog has the zoomies
Awesome! We also have a rescue and we're so amazed at how much she's transformed in the last six months. Our region (NJ) hasn't received any significant snowfall yet but and when it does, we'll be sure to capture the experience. Ironically – her name is Snowy! Thank you for sharing! ? Can't wait to see more of your pup – she is comical!
Is it possible that the harness holding the doggie backpack itches? It looks to me that this energetic pup was trying to rub it off, or, scratch where the straps connect, and it makes for delightful images. It would have been worth finding out by removing it to see what happens.
Mostly, this is just one very happy doggie!
Those darned invisible onion-slicing ninjas are in my house again.
My rescue does those mad dashes back and forth as well, touching base (me) as she passes by. Only she is much bigger and a lot heavier… ? Not very respectful, but at least they seem to enjoy life again! Best of luck and keep up the good work!
So cute, thanks for sharing. Your channel is awesome! It inspired me to get out on more of my own adventures and try my hand at making videos. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Merry Christmas ✌
Thank you so much for sharing! I laughed tears! Merry Christmas and a fantastic, adventurous,happy and lovely 2020!
PUPPY!!
What a happy girl! This was so cute and I was laughing the whole time ? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hey Dixie one of you hikers with lots of subscribers needs to report this https://youtu.be/wUh6AHF6Eb4 The bridge for the AT at harpers ferry was destroyed by a train derailment. Get the word out for 2020 thru-hikers. Pass it on or call the AT trail commission at Harpers ferry and find out the re-route. It is going to be a long time before it is fixed I am guessing.
A marvellously mad mutt
What a gloriously exuberant happy dog. Has she never seen snow before ? I think a lot of us would be the same if we had unrestrictive pure joy. Thank you, I am a new subber and I watched you do the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific rim edge trail, Wow your fitness increased as you went racking up many miles per day. Wonderful ??
Cool dog, so funny
That was so funny!
Thank you. Just what I needed.
Your mom, Montana, perk, and Aaron are good hiking partners but fancy mae is hands down is the funniest hiking partner!
Thanks for showing us the Fancy footwork! I was laughing out loud and had to show it to my son so he could share in the fun. When a dog is loving life, everyone around gets to share in the joy.
Best video so far! Looks like one happy pup! Love the nutcracker music too!
I thought that said “zombies “ instead of zoomies. 🙂
You have got to take a winter time roadtriip to Colorado with this dog to go play in the snow
Couldn't stop smiling ?
Love love love this thank you for the smiles!!! #fancyforever #fancyrocks
