Adventures At Crown Hill

It was a nice warm day, with warm breezes whipping through our patio, as we sat there taking all of this in. Brandy my dear sweet dog looked so bored lying there so still. This dog loves going for a ride in the car more than anything. So thought I would take her over to Crown Hill Park, which was around 7 or 8 miles west of where we live. It has a lake where you can see the Rocky Mountains as clear as day. This side walk goes around the lake 2 miles or so, a lovely walk on a day such as this. Wild life can be found at times, you never know what you may see, filmed a coyote there one time. You see Brandy old girl and I don't get to do things very often as I would like to. So today was to be an adventure for her more than for me. She kept trying to go down to the lake to see what was there, at times she would just stare off into the wild blue, thinking she saw something, but nothing was there that I saw anyway, Many new scents she took in today, could really tell she was having a fun time and enjoying herself. On the way around this lake we met two different dogs, one dog was with her master, only the dog had his leash in his mouth and did not react to Brandy and just kept walking, very good trained dog. The other other dog was a big dog, as it got nearer I stopped and held on to Brandy, the lady with her dog stopped, her dog laid down and would not move, it growled at Brandy and I thought on no, dog fight, she held her dog back, I told her to please move on, her dog would not move, finally it did and I felt relieved. Later on we saw a strange looking bird out in the middle of the lake, just sitting on a log, it looked like a Great Blue Heron, Brandy didn't know what to think of it, she just stared at it for a while, then we moved on. She does not see many strange looking birds. Red-Winged Black Birds took time to sing Brandy and me a few tunes, I think she enjoyed that very much. As we headed back toward the car, I was thinking the last time we were here, my dog Murphy had joined us, but today is a memory I will cherish in my heart for a long time, an adventure just for my pal Brandy and me.
