Smelly Dogs & Beautiful Afternoons

Dear Friends,

FANTASTIC day at Red Rocks with Mike, Sabrina and Tim.  It was also preceded by my first carbohydrate in seven days: a "Vermonter" on a multigrain & honey bagel from Bagel Market, (so good!!!)  Not cheating, just a small indulgence.

It's hard to believe that I've lived in Vermont for six years and haven't been to so many of these great places that Sabrina always seems to find first!  Included in the list are The Village Cup in Jericho, downtown Richmond for an Irish New Year and Camel's Hump, (ok, maybe that was not our favorite, but we have a GREAT view of it from our backyard now!)

The walk was great.  I love seeing the lake in its half-frozen form.  Ayla was almost great off her leash, but did get distracted by a dog or two.  Sabrina and I took a new cousin picture for my Facebook profile as she detested the one I had used from Thanksgiving.  (Funny how one can think pictures are really cute and then the other person in the photo can think that it's horrid!)  One good picture of me & Mike too.

The not so great part of the trip happened when I got Ayla's tale caught in the hatchback of our Matrix and she decided to let her canine smell go everywhere!  I swear it was not the actual tail, but rather her fur, since nothing appears bruised or broken at this point, but nevertheless she made a mess and temporarily put an end to our fun with her smell.

Luckily, we all made it out alive and I am hopeful that Tim will continue to want to be my cousin-in-law, even after creating such a stink! :)  Check out some of our photos below:




Here's to an equally sunny week, I hope!
