Thumbelina

Ahhh I'm slacking. Apologies.

Yesterday was fantastic.

I spent the morning in Rescue Village. I pretty much cleaned out the yurts for the whole time.

In the afternoon we had a slot canyon tour. There's a man who converted this very large Hummer into a tour vehicle. To make up for my mostly photo-less blogs, here's a bunch of pictures.

This is Ken's Hummer.

Entering Peek-A-Boo canyon

The canyon was about 15 degrees cooler than outside of it

This is Todd. He fell from the upper part of the canyon.

You shall not pass.

All of us at the end of the canyon

Because the canyon is much cooler, Todd would have died where he was. So I picked him up to take him outside of the canyon.

Todd acted like a boa constrictor on Jill.

So, that was my Friday. Super awesome.

Today has been my first Saturday actually in Kanab. Most of the shops here are usually closed by the time I get out of work and everything is closed on Sunday, so I decided I would do some exploring around Kanab today.

First things first, I received an e-mail from the adoption department asking if I would be willing to transport a dog on my way back to Wisconsin. Her adopters live in Illinois, so they are going to meet me on the way. The dog's name is Thumbelina and I went to go meet her this morning.

She's the cutest dog ever and so so sweet! She is some kind of shepherd mix, but she's super small - probably only around 30 pounds or so . She was left at Best Friends a few months ago and she is only around 1 and half years old. She had been hit by a car, so her back legs don't work very well, but she can still get around in grass and sand. I sat on the ground by her and she curled up next to my legs. I think I'm going to have a great drive back. My only worry is that I'll not want to hand her over in Illinois...


After going to Best Friends, I went to an auto shop to get my tires rotated and oil change so I'll be set to leave next weekend. Everything in town in super close together, so while they worked on my car I just walked from shop to shop. Three hours later, my car was done. They had even vacuumed the inside and washed the windows for me!

I went home and began to work on my poster for the enrichment schedule that I'm going to hang at the Fairway. Since it was so nice outside today, and because  I heard it was in the 40s at home, I put on my swimsuit and worked on my poster outside on the deck. I'm going to enjoy the warmness of Kanab for as long as I possibly can!

I had another milestone today - Robin let me pet her again! Here's the photo of her I promised before - isn't she pretty?

Tomorrow I'm going to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. How did I get so lucky?
