Siamese Twins Hike

Well here we are up at the top of the Siamese Twins trail in the Garden of the Gods.  You should notice Cognac is putting on weight, and she can run me up these hills now, getting acclimated to the altitude.  Baboo probably took six pictures before we both kind of looked his way.  Bubbles was holding us and trying to get us to look at Baboo, but we just wanted to run around.

Decorating the Tree - What's That About

Now I still don't quite understand what they are doing?  Baboo brought up these boxes, and now Colton and Zachary are hanging things on the tree.  Of course Cognac is not a bit interested, just her couch potato self. 

Now this stuff looks pretty intesting. 

Some of these things are pretty soft, kind of chewable. 

They just keep putting things on the tree. 

Colton you need any help with that? 

Bubbles why don't you give Colton this one, it's pretty cool. 

Ok then give it to Zachary. 

No then why not give it to me. 

Now this is the silliest looking tree I've ever seen, but I guess they are done.

Boy it's sure hard work helping them decorate that tree.

Chilling with My Bubbles

The Tree's up, see it in the background, I'm still trying to figure that out a tree in the house and lights on.  Coganc doesn't seem to care, she just likes to chill on the couch. 

But Bubbles has to bug me like I bug Coganc. 

She's always just hugging me, kissing, and calling me George.  But I have to admit this is the life.

Rough Housing

I'm sure glad Cognac is getting more playful, she likes to rough house with me on the couch now, it's fun. 

She may be older, but I'm going to get her when I can. 

Taking a break.

It's Snowing Cognac it's Snowing ! ! !

It's called Snow Cognac, isn't it great, I just love the snow.  I know you probably haven't seen it before but it's fun, trust me. 

Of course Cognac get's a little snow on her and runs back into the couch, what am I going to do with this girl, I guess it's going to take longer to make her a mountain dog. 

Come on Cognac lets go back out and play in the snow. 

That Cognac she's just such a couch potato.  Wait until we get lots of snow, then I'll get her back out there.  Or when we go to the mountains and there is snow, just wait.

Belly Rub

I go outside and Cognac just wants to have her belly rubbed, what a little hussy.  I'm standing at the back door, come on guys you can let me back in, maybe I'd like my belly rubbed too.  See me at the door, looking so forlorn and in the dark.

Path Less Traveled

The Garden of the Gods is so close and such a cool place to hike, but they have these strange rules about dogs on a leash, so we take the "Path Less Traveled" and never see anyone so guess what "We Don't Need No Stinking Leashes".

It's an old stream bed that goes on forever. 

Cognac seemed to like it. 

But the best part is chase...and playing. 

For a city girl Cognac does pretty good, still getting used to the altitude, so afterwards nothing like a nap. 

Even we mountain dogs like to relax after a hike in the Garden.
