Little Stoney Creek Trail with Injured Pup

Albus and I head to the Big Schloss Loop to do  a 12.2 mile counter clockwise loop over 2 nights, 3 days. However, 2 miles in Albus' 2 back paws get sore and bloody, so I have to make a decision; do I continue on and hope they heal, use the paw soother wax and less mileage the next day, or just quit the trip early? So we backtrack to a campsite I saw on the way in so he has less to walk the next day, and we just abort the whole trip. It was still fun; saw a bunch of campsites, a frog, cooked some good food, and celebrated with the Mead early. Tested some new winter gear, a LL Bean ultralight down puffy jacket (https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/122729?page=mens-ultralight-850-down-jacket-mens-tall&bc=514963-515023&feat=515023-GN3&csp=a&pos=2), some Duluth mittens, and can report it all is great. Will try this place again next time, and it'll make for a nice summer car glamping spot.
