Fun In The Sun!

Our pawrents must have felt REALLY guilty for leaving us home on Monday cuz on Tuesday they took us with them for a long ride.  And we went to a place where there were no polluted skies!  A place the inversion did not know about AND it was not freezing cold!  And then we went on a very long walk!

There was a long paved trail.  It goes over 20 miles!

The sun was shinning so brightly that mom said she was going to have to take off her jacket.  She said it was in the lower 40's whatever that means.

It felt so good to be on a long walk again.  We practiced our STOP command.

Eventually the paved path was no longer plowed.  This was to allow cross country skiing.

 I was practicing a SIT-STAY command here.

Stanley was practicing SIT-STAY too.

After we walked on the trail we went into town.  It is a small mountain town called Park City.  But right now there are lots of people there because something is going on that attracts many tourists and movie stars.  It is called the Sundance Film Festival.  Mom said it is famous.

We wondered who they were trying to get a picture of with such a big camera.

We kept our eyes peeled looking for movie stars.  We know they are here somewhere!

These houses are crammed in right above main street.  Many of them don't look like much but their location makes them cost lots of money!  Lots of rich people like to ski the surrounding resorts.

There are movie screenings all over town (as well as in the town we live by).

Mom and dad said this was a wonderful way for us to practice walking past a lot of people.  On the lower part of Main Street it was thick with so many people.  And of course all kinds of people stopped  to ask about me and Stanley.  One lady stopped her car right in the street and called over to us because we are so cute!  Another lady was on her way to a screening (she was part of the festival cuz she was wearing credentials) and talked to my pawrents about 15 minutes and even took pictures of us!

We never did see a movie star BUTT there was one person that people were getting excited about.  His vehicle pulled into a driveway alongside a restaurant.  Then he and his entourage got out.  A guy on the sidewalk was staring and was so shocked he said a HBO word.  But mom did not know who it was.  She is really out of the loop on these things anyway.

We had a very fun day and got lots of attention from the nice people.  Oh, and mom and dad said they will take us running with them as soon as we learn to stay along side them on walkies.  We tend to switch sides as the mood strikes us and mom said if we did that while running we might trip them and they could fall down and get hurt bad.  So I guess we're not too mad that we didn't get to go on Monday.  Mom said she ran 13 miles and i don't think I could have stayed on one side for that long.  But we are practicing cuz mom said "One day . . . "  We can't wait!
