Catching Up

We are a couple of days behind in my blog, thanks to some things about Verizon which Mom doesn't want to say in this post.

Tuesday, Mom, Dad, our friend Pat and I went camping on the Rio Grande up next to Taos. We had a great time, other than that it was REALLY hot at the campsite, which is down in the Rio Grande Gorge. I took care of that by wading in the Rio.

Not only that, but my leather collar finally dissolved in the water. So we all got in the air- conditioned car, drove up out of the Gorge and -- strange! -- found a pet supply shop up at the top, where we got me a new, waterproof collar. It was cooler once we got finished our drive and back down into the Gorge, and the sun went down behind the cliffs.

The next day, we went for a nice drive up over the big Rocky Mountains and back down home.

I hadn't noticed before, but there is a bunch of lizards living under our shed. What fun! (Well ... until one of them nipped me on the nose. Since then, I've been more smelling them than snuffing my nose in after them ...)

Tomorrow we are going for another big drive down to buy some Indian jewelry, camp out and go find Hatch chili. I'll keep you posted, now that we finally have our Internet connection back.
