Dog Baby

We adopted a Newfoundland puppy on Monday!
His name is Bucephalus (Bo)--Alexander the Great's black horse.
He is 5 months old, 71 lbs., and
blind in his left eye from an accident when he was very young.
The shelter, Tinker's Dream, expects him to be about 150-160 lbs. as an adult.

First Anniversary

For our Anniversary, we hiked to (fittingly) Bridal Veil Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The trail was 6 miles; 3 miles uphill, 3 miles back down.
At the top, where we stopped for lunch, it snowed a bit.

We saw a few birds on the trail and some deer and elk on our way out of RMNP.

For dinner, we went to Austin's Grill in Fort Collins. Good food.
We ate the top of our wedding cake for dessert--not too bad after a year in the freezer!
