Après Bath

After her bath she refused to hop out herself, and after a good rub she plopped her behind down on the towel and got to cleaning the water off. No hurry, no escape, just chilling in a towel taco.

Art of surprise

I have been main an effort to make sure she can see me before I touch her, to avoid scaring her. Today I totally got her, and while she almost jumped out of her skin, there was no snap.

Hiking fun

A great afternoon hike to Mirror Lake, about 3 miles round trip. Yellow did great with the stable snow. The log bridge was definitely a mistake, she was shaky and lost her footing (went left, you can go right around the lake to bypass this bridge).

Holding it...

Sage loves to stay up with us - so long as the couch is available. If she can't get her way she puts herself to bed. If this happens before 8pm, we've gotten to the point where she has a hard time holding it all night, so I reluctantly have begun waking her up before I go to bed to send her outside so I don't get a 4am wake up call. This seems to be working well. She's ready to go at 7am, but that's better than 4. Moral? Let her on the couch?

Purple hair, don't care

Being old sure doesn't mean you can't be punk rock. Purple socks worn by our cabin roommate, Ryan.
