Friday in Colorado

Tim: Today, we took Chase back to the vet to get his “boo boo” looked at again. The vet cut off the bandage and the cut was healed well, but moist from Chase’s incessant need to lick. She decided to take out the stitches and put another bandage on. Wouldn’t you know it, Chase was at it again with the licking and we had to redo the dressing tonight. The vet gave us plenty of dressing supplies for Chase until his next and final vet visit on Wednesday.

Chase was crazy at the vet today when another Lab came in. He has not gotten his necessary exercise since the accident, so he has some pent up energy, I guess. We did get to see some Lab pups today that a vet client brought in. They were adorable and made our day.

We went to see "Mission Impossible 3" tonight and although I am not a big fan of Tom Cruise, it was pretty good. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is in it as well and is an awesome actor.

Yesterday, we went up to Colorado Springs to a mall and found a store called Steve and Barry's University Sportswear. It was a cool department store like Old Navy, but it had tons of cool t-shirts from universities nationwide, as well as other cool stuff. The best part was the price of everything...under seven bucks for each item, which included shoes, blue jeans, jackets, etc. I felt like I was at an outlet store.

Candy and I found two great t-shirts. I found one like the one John Belushi wore in "Animal House"...navy blue with the word"College" in white lettering on the front, while Candy found one with the words "Rules are for suckers."

The plan for Sunday (weather permitting) is to go to the Royal Gorge Bridge near Canon City to ride the train along the Arkansas River and visit the highest suspension bridge in the world. We have also been to the second highest suspension bridge in the world, New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia, on one of our other trips in the past.

By the way, the picture at the top of the post is another of Candy's Photoshop works of art. It is a picture of the San Antonio Riverwalk from the 2004 NCAA Final Four trip we made. Pretty cool, huh? She keeps finding ways to make her pictures stand out.

Well, that's all from here. We will post again on Sunday night if we go to the Royal Gorge with some more cool pics. Have a great Saturday!
