See you guys Saturday! Still not sure if I'll have one or two boxers in tow but look for the grey-ish/dark silver civic somewhere between noon and one. (If that time won't work, give me a call sometime tomorrow and we'll arrange something else. Or, if you want to see the caverns, I'll leave my pups home and we can go there or... or... or... :D )
Oooh, you're only two states away! Where you headed after NM? ;)
We're here in New Mexico!
Tonya, we thought of you as we passed through your city. :) That time if fine with us. I'm not sure what our plans are yet but I will let you know tomorrow for sure. :)
Aw, you guys should've said something - you could've swung by for a meet 'n greet, supper, or at the very least a potty break. ;)
I finish work at noon tomorrow - feel free to call anytime after then.
I bet you guys are having a blast! ;) Kay, Kiara & Mufasa look so similar in size in the picture you posted... are they?? All 4 pups look as happy as can be! Drive safely! :)
Tonya, how about going to Sitting Bull Falls on Saturday? You could meet us here at the park and then we can go to the falls?
That way we can let the pups run around for a bit in our "pooch park" and get tired out, then go over to the falls.
Let me know what you think - you have my cell, right?
You might want to check with some of "the Locals" about the trip toQuote:

NM #137 might not be the smoothest road in the State!
Here's a site with photos of the "Falls" >>>

It has been AGES since I've been to Sitting Bull Falls - I don't remember how long it takes to get there. We've had quite a bit of rain this past week so, I'm not sure what condition the non-paved roads will be in.
No, I don't have your cell number. Will you be taking your dogs with you to SBF or leaving them at your campsite?
How Long; How Far?Quote:

Are you guys exchanging Smoke Signals?
"Saturday" is gonna be here purdy quick.
:p
Sitting Bulls isn't too far - and we've already made plans to go there (and called the park themselves) so there's no need to worry, Phred.
Our camp neighbors were there with their dogs yesterday and they didn't express any troubles. It's an incredibly dog friendly area apparently. :)
We will be bringing the dogs with us (how could I go somewhere water related and NOT bring Kiara? :p ;) )
See ya tomorrow Tonya - I had thought I sent you my cell number, but I have yours and I'll send ya a message with mine. Hope to see a Boxer or two tomorrow. ;)
Stay safe you guys and keep on loving the trip. Keep us posted!! :)
Well ... :confused:
Did we all get to Sitting Bull Falls today?
Were the Falls falling? ... Did the Dogs *swim*?
:D
Here's a pic of the 6 doggies today! :)
Onward to Arizona in the early morning. :)
You guys are going to my state! I hope you guys are ready for the weather here, if you are in flagstaff or sedona. Somewhere middle north weather will be nice. If you are like in the grand canyon of middle and south like phoenix then its going to be HOT. I wish for you guys for a safe trip over here.
:)
Looks like BOTH the New Messicans made it!

Hehehe...Keva and Mufasa really love each other don't they! Cute picture!! :D
Hehehe, love the picture. I hope you are all having as much fun as it looks like you are having. Still keeping you all in my thoughts for a safe and happy trip.
What a blast! I feel almost as if I'm riding along in being able to see the stories and pictures :). I hope you guys are having a lot of fun, can't wait to see more! Be safe! (wish you could swing up to Minnesota! :p)
Sounds like everyone is having a BLAST! VERY cute pic of all 6!
Well, we're here in Arizona. It's actually really cool out. The campground is okay.. wouldn't recommend it. Lots of obnoxious kids. We're right next to the playground, too.
OMG, that picture is just too cute - look at Moo & Keva...adorable!
:DQuote:

"Next to" the playground prolly isn't so cool ...
did you ask to trade for a more quiet spot?
And why don't you mention the NAMES of the Town and the Campground where you stay each night?
Some of us would enjoy MapQuesting your Trip ...
and maybe doing a Google-Earth look at where you are.
"We're here in Arizona" is kinda hard to find on the map!
:p
Have *PHUNN*!!
PS: How's Mr. Ken / da Bus Driver / Dad holding up?
;)
Um, thanks I guess.Quote:

My dad is just fine, thanks.
Phred you make me laugh! You're one funny guy :D I laugh out loud when I read your stuff :)Quote:

I'm still LOL at Moo and Keva in the pic of the 6 dogs. :D
Those 2 love each other so much they don't even realize the world is still turning!! LOL!!
We went to the Grand Canyon today - very cool. Our dogs got photographed by many people.
We are leaving early tomorrow. It is WAY too dry here. Our skin is all dry and cracky, the dogs have HORRIBLE dandruff. Again, the campsite is full of OBNOXIOUS kids. Example, there were a group of about five 7-10 year olds kids running around screaming "WEINER, WEINER!"
We'll be making our way to Utah tomorrow. :)
I cannot wait to see photos of the Grand Canyon :D.
Just for you, Rhi! ;)
Did any of the Pups show any reaction, fear, or understanding of the Depth of the Canyon?
http://petoftheday.com/talk/attachme...chmentid=35742
Moo and KiKI don't look the least bit *worried* here!
I'd have prolly <passed out> before I got THAT close!
:D
Wow, what a great picture of Moo and KiKi!! I am glad you are having a good time despite the kids at the campsites. And I can't wait to see all the awesome pictures you both are taking. Hope you get into some better climate soon!
No reaction - Kiara was even fine around the hundreds of people. She let a few people pet her. I'm pretty sure she was wondering where the heck all of the water was!
Well, we're heading out to Utah today. :) Thank goodness!
What a gorgeous photo! I'd be one of the people crowded around looking at the dogs and snapping pics of them instead of the Canyon :D.
That's a great picture of the canyon! Other than a rather stinky incident ;) it sounds like the trip has been awesome so far.
LOL!! True!!Quote:

Did you ever find out who was sick?
We're in Utah - at Amy's house. We got in town a bit late so we are camping out here instead off trying to set up camp in the dark.
Hey Tonya, just wanted to say it was great meeting you and your two gorgeous pit bulls err rottweilers uhh I mean boxers. ;) :p Sorry my "thoroughbred malamute" was being such a grumpy brat...he really is sweet at home I swear. :o Wish we could have met the rest of your crew too!
Great photo of the Canyon! :D
What a great trip for all of you. This is a wonderful adventure :) Thanks for sharing it with all of us!! :)
Moo and Ki are alot closer to the Canyon than I would get too :eek: Great picture! :)
We're currently in Colorado...well.. half of the gang is. We had to depart Utah this morning and had to say goodbye to Amy & Gang, Craig, and Frankie. :(
Had fun but looking forward to seeing what Colorado has to offer and then seeing where we end up next!
Kiara and Mufasa got to visit the famour Utah arches on our way here. Beautiful and breathtaking!
I'll post more as our journey continues....
Here's a photo of the two by Wilson Arch today. :)
