Stimulation Overload


Saturday night Garrett and I went to a benefit for No More Homeless Pets Utah held at the Radisson hotel in Salt Lake. It was a really cool event...free booze and you got to bring your pups. Garrett thought bringing Munch was a bad idea but I just didn't think it was fair to leave him at home. So, from the second we got there, he pretty much had a miserable time. He was totally over stimulated, insisted on being held and could not get enough water. I'm fairly certain he's more needy than a newborn...but still the cutest thing on 4 legs. So Garrett was right, I was wrong. We've been together for 4 1/2 years...he was due to be right once.

Sun Bathing


Munch loves when the sun shines thru the front window...if only that damn bed would move itself into the light, he would have a much more comfortable nap.

2 Years

Flowers, White Sand, Blue Water, Daiquiris, and Wedding Rings. Two years ago today, this is what I was doing. Two years ago today was the best day of my life.

Cute Face

See this cute innocent face? Yeah, he's not so cute after sticking his head into a trash bag full of decomposing grass...grass that turns his golden locks green...grass that smells so horrible it ranks right up there with his own poo. This cute face saves his life on a daily basis.

Racing Season


Mountain bike racing season is in full swing here. Even though there have been a few, this was our first ICUP race of the season. Garrett finished middle of the pack and I came in 2nd. Win or lose, we both had fun, and that's really all that matters. The prizes suck, the entry fees are high, my body is covered in scrapes and scars...so you really just have to love it.

Running Buddy

Much to his dismay, Mogley has become quite the trail running buddy. He's pretty pokey but he trots along the trail behind us, never once venturing off. He only has one speed, what Garrett and I like to call the poodle trot. While I do think he kinda enjoys himself, I'm pretty sure he'd much rather be at home with Munch...doing much more important things like guarding the house from potential predators...I mean, those kids on Dora The Explorer scooters HAVE GOT TO BE STOPPED.

No Rain, No Rainbows

We've been having the most perfect weather in Salt Lake...perfect mixed with a few rainy days. It's really never much fun while it's raining...boring indoor activities are usually substituted for our usual outside adventures, bike races are cancelled, its too muddy to hike, I'm usually mentally forced to clean...you get the picture. In an effort to be a more positive person, I have thought of 2 reasons why I like the rain: Sleeping in and Rainbows. I won't horrify you with a picture of Garrett and I sleeping in, so here's a rainbow.
