Otis......again

Yesterday I took Otis to Red Rock State Park to try a hike. About a 1/2 mile in, he sat down in the shade and refused to get up. I took the hint, let him cool down, and headed back to the car. Where I was greeted by one of my favorite animals of all time, a prairie dog. We were parked in the middle of a village! After spending some time "conversing" with the watch dog and taking some pictures, we headed up to McGuffy Lake......which is now dry. But I did find some hikes that me and the boy can do that involve shade and less heat. But then.....

Today, I came home to find not one, not two, not three, but all four blinds in the apartment laying in shreds on the floor. And while I was standing in the kitchen with my chin on my chest I realized there was a rancid smell in the apartment, and my foot was stuck in something. You guessed it. He really outdid himself this time. It is now 11 or so, and I just finished replacing the blinds (again) and cleaning up everything. I suspect he was frantically trying to get out to do his business, but I am ready to send him home.  I am going to look into flying a dog alone or with Rich when he comes to visit next weekend. Enough.
