Snow Moose
On Saturday we had a nice snow storm come through town, laying down a few inches of powder. Each time Moose went out to go potty, he also wanted to play in the snow. He found snow for the first time on our way through Wyoming in December and I...
Big Blue gets a butt-lift
Since I have purchased the Big Blue back in 2010, it has always had a saggy-butt problem; the rear of the van lower than the front. Add to it that all the storage inside the van is in the far rear and the problem only gets worse when I am...

Normality returns
It took a few days but the food poisoning seems to have run it’s course leaving me with some time to re-acquaint myself with my Colorado, this time as a dog-owner. Luckily we are staying only a block away from a dog park and the city park across from Timmy’s...
