My little girl turned 2 years old today. Although she is a dog w/ characters of a 9 year old, until today she was officially still a puppy.
She spend the morning riding around lost in the mountains w/ me as we tried to find a clients house. We never did find the house but it made for an interesting drive into the mountains w/ some beautiful scenery. At one point (okay so maybe it was more like 4, but we were lost!) we drove over this old bridge where you had to stay on the wooden planks that ran down the middle of it.
After the rest of my training appointments were finished Skyler & I walked downtown to Big Dipper, an ice cream joint in Missoula, w/ some friends. They hand out free ice cream cones to dogs, and even though I don't normally let my dogs eat people food, today was a special occasion. Skyler got her very first ice cream cone & she LOVED it.
We walked the Kim Williams trail most of the way back to our house, stopping to let the dogs play along the way. Happy Birthday Skyler!
filling in once in a while) Cameron & I went for a climb in Kootenai Pass. We attempted a climb called Town Pump, a 5-11b climb that can either be top roped or lead climbed. Since I haven't learned lead climbing yet (soon tho!) Cameron put up a top rope & we took off up the rock face. Kelly met us up there w/ Clyde (her dog) & Bosco. Bosco champed out the extreme uphill hike to the rock face, even after Kelly led them three miles astray down the wrong path. All in all is was a great way to spend the day w/ good souls, whether two or four legged.
Just a few pics of the pups enjoying their new bed. To bad he won't stay this tiny forever! I'll have to buy another one of these beds in the not to distant future.

Thursday night I traveled to Calgary, Canada. I spent the night alone in a hotel before leaving for the Calgary airport the next morning. Bosco's plane landed early so we arrived at the airport at the same time. We played w/ some employees at the hangar before getting back in the car & driving back to Missoula. We made a few pit stops to potty & walk around, but the most important one was right after we crossed the border back into not only Montana, but the United States! He was finally walking on American soil. The drive 8 hour home was a breeze, but we were both happy to be out of a car!
