Dogs! Dogs! Dogs!

Day 2: I helped prepare breakfast for all the pups in Angel's Lodges, then went with Larry to deliver the goods. When we made the rounds, I noticed a sweet, energetic girl named Tina, and thought she'd be fun to walk. Wow! That girl has some energy! But she's a good girl, and extra extra sweet. It was a beautiful day for a hike through the canyon, and I even stopped to take a few pics along the way. I even managed to upload a few pics to Facebook. (It's so unusual to get cell phone coverage in the canyon!).

Next, I thought I'd take Tina's neighbor, Hera for a walk. We got off to a rough start because she wanted to decide which way we'd go, and you know that I finally gave in and let her. Once we got going, we had a nice walk... until she decided that she was done. This girl is obstinate! She wouldn't budge!

I finally had to ask one of the staff if they'd help me get her back, and we lured her about 100 feet with a bag of some extra tasty treats. Then she figured out what we were up to and refused to fall for it. I might've waited her out if I'd had some water and my chapstick with me! We ended up having to get a ride in a golf cart from one of the staff! This girl knows how to get what she wants!

While I was waiting for miss Hera to get her move on, I got a little toasty and decided to tie my jacket around my waist. I guess I didn't realize my phone as in the pocket... next dog to walk - little Coconut. I bent down to put a leash on Coconut, and dipped my brand new iPhone right into his bucket of drinking water!!! Is there anyone else who could lose a phone like this? It's tragic. So here I am, in the middle of no-Apple-store land, without a functional iPhone. Can someone please remind me that nobody was hurt, and no lives were lost?

I did finish my day on a high note, though. I got to pay a visit to a Stray Rescue favorite - Goober! Now known as Goose. He thoroughly enjoyed the cookies that his aunts Gail & Donna sent for him.
