An almost dreary day in Estes

From Winter 2006-2007

 

Today is the first dreary day we've had in Estes. It's overcast and grey, we had some fresh snow this morning but it's stopped and just been cold. At least there's no wind. It's much like a Michigan winter day... but even as I'm typing this, the clouds are lifting and I see some blue in the horizon. Gotta love Colorado!

Click on that photo of Logan to see the latest pictures of my handsome four-legged friend. As of Wednesday, he was 12 weeks old and 32 pounds. I'm sure he's put on more weight even in the past few days. He's a great alarm clock too - he never fails to wake me between 6:45 and 7:15 am to go outside and eat breakfast. My friend Kim is letting him out in the middle of the day; I also found a really cheap doggie day care that I can drop him off so he's not crated all day. The lady that runs it also works on socialization - introducing him to lots of strangers, weird noises, situations, etc - so he'll be ready for anything! I'll probably start a puppy kindergarten class soon, but I have a feeling he'll be ahead of the class before it even starts. ;)

I didn't go ice climbing in Ouray. But I am on my way to Chris and Edy's to watch the Patriots hopefully win... so gotta make a beer and chips run! Tomorrow I start another week of trudging through the snow and eating lots of smoke while burning piles on Deer Mountain... At least I'll get in shape FAST!
