Ibex Trip




We took a trip to Ibex to do some canyoneering a couple of months ago. I love the pictures I took! It's almost impossible to take a bad photo. There's also a picture of Adam, reading at our campsite that night.

The canyon we did is called Little Blue John, which is considered to be a beginner's canyon. I'd never done this before, but it was a lot of fun! Inside the canyon was cool, both temperature-wise and was amazing to look at. We ate MREs for lunch, which was another first for me, but they aren't that bad. The only part that I didn't like was the hiking, both before and after the canyon. There was a lot of hiking, over very sandy, pokey ground. I was wearing hiking shoes that had openings on the sides, so a lot of sand got in my shoes.

I'd do it again.

Kasy!




Kasy will likely be retired from breeding at the kennel I work at. I loved her, and she adores me, so it looks like she'll be a full-time pet with us! I took her to Petsmart, and got toys, a leash, and a giant pillow! I also got her a flavored rawhide bone, but she's already eaten about half of it. Next time, I think I'll get her one of the 3 foot long ones!
Skeet went into hiding as soon as he saw her, but Gypsy swatted Kasy's nose and follows her around, keeping an eye on this new creature. Right now she's on a chair next to Kasy's pillow, watching her eat her bone. Kasy's rather intimidated by Gypsy, but it looks like they'll be cuddling soon!
