Dog Town

We spent the first half of the day at the Dog Town complex of Best Friends. We walked dogs. You can walk a lot of dogs from 8am till noon!

I'd say it was very therapeutic. In the past few weeks we've been dealing with leaks in the coach, selling the house, packing and moving, family disagreements and where we are going to live. Walking and loving up a dog, just helps you put it all behind you, at least for the moment.


Here's Laura walking Dusty, our first dog of the morning. It was pretty chilly to start out, around 45 degrees. Here is Pearl, who I started the morning out with. She turned out to be my favorite dogs of everyone we walked today. She was high energy and very friendly and affectionate.









There was a few benches out on the dog trails. They encouraged you to stop and spend some time lovin' up the dogs, yah, not a problem here! Laura tries to control Kia and Drake as I snap the picture.












Here I am trying to keep up. The trails for the dogs were awesome. Red sand and great views of Grand Escalante NP in the background. I could get used to this.






The had a really great set-up around Dog Town. Each octagon building has 4 to 7 indoor pens. Each pen has access to an outdoor run area. The dogs have indoor/outdoor access 24/7. There are up to 4 dogs in each pen. They are not lacking space, toys or attention. They probably have it better here then the homes many of them came from! Best Friends never seems to have a shortage of volunteers willing to help out. All of the animals get plenty of attention, until they are adopted out. I think I mentioned in an earlier post, their adoption rate is around 85%.

We spent the remainder of the day doing laundry, cleaning inside and outside the coach. Basic maintenance stuff that doesn't make for compelling reading. We spent the evening paying bills, surfing, preparing pricing and orders for accounts and of course, blogging.

Tomorrow, after my tough 2 hour workday, we plan on hitting Bryce Canyon. So, hopefully, we'll have some spectacular pictures to share with you. That's all for now, I'm bushed!
