All About Sire

Wednesday, June 17, 2010

Yesterday was a day totally committed to Sire.

Because we were busy last week on the Razor, he could not come with us on trails. So we decided to dedicate the entire day to him. And he LOVED it. He the acted like the only child at Disney World...the entire playground was his, and his alone, to do what ever he wanted to do. It was great!

We went back to Mill Creek Trail where the waterfalls are and all the locals hangout. At first we could not coax him into crossing the creek at all. The river rocks are unsteady and sometimes you end up in 2 feet of water. If the water level hits his belly he becomes extremely nervous. One pass took almost 15 full minutes to convince him it was safe. After that, he was still hesitant, but became more and more confident.

By the time we headed back, he would not get out of the water! He rolled around in the sand and buried himself, he played with other people as we passed them on the trail. He was totally and completely the center of attention all day!

When we got back home, he had a bath, (which he hates), and slept like a baby all night long.

We are leaving Moab Sunday, which gives us 3 more days of playing here. Today we are going on yet another trail with the Razor. Sire will be staying home with the babies.

We are going to miss Moab, the people, especially Gloria and Ivan, when we leave. It is so beautiful here and we feel as if we live here full time.

But Bryce Canyon and Zion are calling our names, so that will be our next adventure.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
