Montana Madness

Okay, we know it's been hot enough to fry your paws pretty much everywhere. So, we're gonna share some more of our adventures Out West to cool you down. After we had seen (and smelled) all that Yellowstone had to offer, we hitched up the food hauler and headed North into Montana. It was raining and we hadn't put all that many miles between us and the buffalo when we came to a little town called Ennis. We decided it looked friendly enough (no packs of wild dogs that we could see), so we stopped for a bite of lunch and a look see. The people were super friendly and told us about a campground a few miles away in Virginia City, which is a famous ghost town.  Dad had wanted to see some ghost towns, so we decided to stay a bit and check out the local smells. *

The next morning, Dad opened the door to let us out for a potty break. Then he said to Mom - "Don't look out the windows!"** OMD - what was out there?!  Not more buffalo, we hope!  Nope - here's what greeted us -


Snow!

Oooooweeeeee! We love the snow!



Cooper goes nuts over anything!


Gracie's seen LOTS of snow - she lived in Park City for awhile!  She loves it, too.  She just doesn't act like a goober, like Cooper does!


Aspen's seen her share of snow, too, and digs it!


Kayla just wants to eat everything!


Mmmmmm, snow!


Are you cold and snuggling under a blankie now?

The Road Dogs (chillin' out in Montana)

After walking dog during a high humidity day, your cold pictures were refreshing! How great that you and your dogs could enjoy a surprise snow in May! Lucky you to be on the road exploring what the U.S. has to offer!

You all look like you just won the lottery! I prefer not to think about snow at all, but I'm sure Morgan will love it! She says Gracie and Aspen look so majestic out there in the fluffy stuff!

DARN!! I got all excited because I thought we were going to get to meet you dogs in person! We're almost to Yellowstone now, and we'll be heading north through Montana after we're done visiting the parks. Then you mentioned the pics were from May. Bummer! Do you dogs have any tips for Ty and Buster since you visited here recently?
