1) a good home
2) a good friend, Stormy
3) still cancer-free

Chillin' in the Snow
My new life includes snowy vacations, reports Na'ilah.
We drive from California to Colorado, stopping on the way to visit my friends at Dinosaur Tracks near Tuba City in the Navajo Nation.
Once we arrive, there's a lot of romping in the snow.
My friend Stormy, the Corgi, has a double coat of fur and is better equipped for the snow.
But I do okay as long as
1) I keep moving or
2) the sun's out!

Fashion Challenged
Rhodesian ridgebacks were bred in southern Africa, where they helped to hunt lions. Lying in the sun is their preferred lifestyle between hunts.
I checked out the prices of dog snow jackets in Telluride and decided to pass for this year.
Instead, I tried to secure a blanket around Na'ilah with safety pins.
Not too stylish, and not secure either.

At Will Rogers Park
"Walking up to Inspiration Point in Will Rogers State Park is about the biggest thing I do, except for summers at Trout Lake and stopping by Dinosaur Tracks near Tuba City on the way.
Here I am with Stormy, getting a drink after our walk.
Haven't tasted any cats lately either."

A Ridgeback Time Lapse
Thanks to Marie for finding this time-lapse photo sequence of a Rhodesian ridgeback from puppyhood to age three.

Fun! This dog looks so much like Na'ilah!

Dog Pound
It cost me $46 to bail Na'ilah out of the pound today.
We're having our chimney demolished and a new one built; the gated fence to the backyard was attached to the chimney but now one side swings crazily without an anchor.
It was too tempting for Na'ilah.
When someone walked a handsome German shepherd past the house, Na'ilah climbed through the gap and followed them to the end of the street.
My neighbor Eric didn't recognize her as our dog.
The owner of the shepherd didn't want Na'ilah to continue following him and perhaps get hit by a car, so he took charge. She had no licence or dog tag on, so he took her to the local animal shelter.
She was so sweet about being taken that he told the desk clerk, "If no one claims her, I'll adopt her."
Why did she have no tags on?
I'd removed her Santa Monica ID when I took her to Colorado. I just had my name and Colorado phone number on her, but she managed to lose that collar/harness and the ID with it. It probably got snagged on a tree somewhere.
On our return her, I forgot to put her local ID back on. That cost me $46--but at least she wasn't injured or permanently lost.
