Res and Climber normally post about their adventures on their facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/8563662930377524 but Facebook does not make it easy to post sequential photographs and tell a story, so Res and Climber asked me to let them post here. OK, we will give this a shot. Please share on your own social media if you like.

Res: We have had a busy day! It started getting cold in Colorado so Dad decided to put us in our coats. It was just under 30 degrees and he was muttering something about “this will be interesting.” Well, I like my coat so I had no problem putting it on! It matches my colors.

Climber: There is no way in HE double hockey sticks I am wearing this.

Dad: Yes you are. And you better get used to it.

Climber: You will take me out of this thing! (starts rolling around the grass trying to get her coat off, people around us are taking video).

Res: Can we leave here? She’s an embarrassment. She won’t go anywhere as she refusing to walk.

Me: Nope, we can’t leave her. Guess she wins on the coat, for now, we will let the other dad do a few solo walks with her and a coat.

Res: Ok, but I keep telling you she is trouble.

[Park walk complete and couple hours later]

Res: Sis! We going someplace!!! We going for a ride!! [Bouncing around]

Climber: How you know?

Res: Dad’s car is out of the garage and we are in our muzzles! Don’t you dare mess this up!

Climber: He may be taking us to the dawgtor. Me not sure about this.

Res: Nope, Dawgtor is only one of us at a time. We both on leashes and muzzles. We both go.

Me: Res, if you can get your front paws up into the car why do I have to lift your back-end?

Res: It’s good exercise, you are supposed to be lifting anyways and you’re not.

Me: Climber, I know you can jump a 4 foot wall, why can’t you hop up into the car.

Climber: Lift me!

Me: Ok, behave now!

Res: No chance of that with her in the car. If she steps on me, can I get her?

Me: Exactly why you both have muzzles on.

Res: We here! We Here! So much sniffing and looking to do!

Climber: Look!!!! WATER!!! GO GO GO!!!

Me: Climber that is going to be cold, but I’ll let you get your feet wet.

Climber: BIRDS!!!! Get Them!!!

Me: I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

Res: Why not?

Me: Canada’s army is doing maneuvers, those are Canadian Geese and they are mean!

Climber: I can win! I hear they taste like Chicken!

Me: Nope, the vets are closed today.

Res: Look, mountains! When can we go to the mountains?

Me: We’ll try to go in the Spring. Right now the roads are too snowy through the tunnels.

Res: Dad, how much longer?

Me: Until your sister is tired out.

Res: We don’t have all day! She never tired.

Me: We have 1.5 miles back to the car. I am sure you can make it.

Res: Get the sticker out of my paw!!!

Res: FINALLY!!!! Get me in the car!

Me: OK, now you both jump right in? You couldn’t do that at home? You suck!

Res: We are home. Nap time!!!

Me: So, active day today, first our morning park walk, and then the visit to the State Park!
