Paws and Friends

August is a special month: With the cooler temps in the mountains, one KNOWS fall is just around the corner.  The "crazy, lazy days of summer" illustrate the winding down of "summer" Rupert's birthday is in August...! So OF COURSE we celebrate! Ummmm, who celebrates...? Mr. Rupert, aka Lord Rupert? Miss Maddie...?  ..... But Mike wasn't cutting it fast enough for them...was she? That huge bone lasted two mornings! What happens is that whenever Mike prepares her cup of coffee, and once she stirs it, that is the signal for the dogs' "coffee". You guessed it, they get their "coffee", which are Blue Bites. However, for Rupert's special day (and the next day!) they each had half of the bone! Who has who trained in this household?!   We KNOW!! Roving Riders, Enjoying the coolness of the Black Hills in South Dakota for a few more days!

Rafter J Bar Ranch Campground It has been a while since our last posting. Let's see if we can remedy that! We are currently enjoying the coolness of the Black Hills just south of Hill City in South Dakota. We have "explored" Colorado, ventured into Wyoming, then on into Montana where we spent July at Yellowstone's Edge, south of Livingston. The first of August found the Riders moving on to the Walberg Homestead in Mitchell, then on to our current spot. We talked of the SNOW in Dolores in the previous post. We were able to travel on down the road (one of our "longest" travel days....NOT) to Mesa Verde RV Resort, Mancos, Colorado  (31 miles 😊). Out our window to the northeast, Mesa Verde RV Resort There we enjoyed the snow-capped mountains surrounding us. Even Sleeping Ute to the west wore a cap of snow! Our view out the window was of these mountains from the end of May into June. What a GREAT yard/patio to have! Sunrise at Mesa Verde RV Re
