September Dog Park Pictures

When I take my 2 terrors, oops terriers to the dog park, there are usually a few dog owners that mutter under their breath, "Oh no, here they come again...". My wheaton scottish terrier is a little dominant and is not afraid to take on any size dog. She does not like to be sniffed and feels that she is the only one who can do the sniffing. Ivy, the little brindle terrier follows her big sister and sometimes her attitude.

This beautiful 7 month old Sheltie was so friendly and mature beyond her age. I couldn't resist capturing her regal beauty.

So many dogs with such different personalities. This beauty was sweet and playful and didn't mind smiling for me.

This little terrier was so afraid of my girls. They did gang up on her a bit, but she finally came out to play.

I got a kick out of this pooch. He actually posed and gave me a big smile. I have learned that when I take my Terrors to the dog park, a long walk is in order to really tire them out so they are not so aggressive.

Really, what would we do without our four legged family?

Northern Arizona Day Trip

Last week I headed up to Flagstaff on business and was greeted by cool 81 degree temps. It was so nice! The traffic was crazy as it just happened to be the day the dorms opened at NAU. I strolled around the downtown area taking in the history and architecture. My son went to NAU in the early 2000's and I never stopped in town to look around. It's quite charming.

The historic Monte Vista Hotel was built in 1926.Located just one block north of famous Route 66, the Hotel Monte Vista has been home to thousands of adventurous and colorful characters, from bank robbers, to headlining Hollywood stars.

This is the historic Weatherford Hotel built in 1900.

You can see the dome at NAU from this viewpoint taken near the Lowell Telescope.

Church of the Nativity on the corner of Beaver and Cherry Streets. Such beautiful architecture!

Leaving Flagstaff, I took Hwy 89 down Oak Creek Canyon. I love that drive, it is so pretty.

Tlaquepaque (pronounced Tla-keh-pah-keh), Sedona Arizona's Arts & Crafts Village.

There is some amazing art in this unique village.
