Gazing toward freedom...
9:30 p.m.
I took Dusty to High Park today - the last time we were there was in October. It was such a *gorgeous* day! We're having some unseasonably warm weather (The high today was 7 and tomorrow it will be 10!). Of course, that meant MUD. I knew there was no point in even attempting to keep Dusty clean. Fortunately, only her feet got really dirty.
She had a marvelous time, as she always does. She ran circles around me, did wind sprints down the trail and then back, sniffed, chased squirrels and played in the leaves.
We were there for two hours - enough to get Dusty thoroughly exhausted. When we got home, I cleaned Dusty's feet (the water was BLACK!) and then she crawled into her crate for the rest of the evening. She's barely moved a muscle in the past six hours. She's tired!
and this is what her feet looked like afterward - yuck!
