Her Left Foot: The Sequel

Rosie's foot was still looking gnarly, so we took her into another vet here in Moab, UT. Turns out she had at least one foxtail in her paw. So while she was getting exploratory surgery, we tried to hit up Arches National Park. Unfortunately, they had closed the park since the parking was full. 

So, plan B was the nearby Canyonlands National Park. Turns out it was a neat park to visit and the name is no lie. There were canyons on top of canyons within canyons. Then we hit up Miguel's Baja Grill in downtown Moab for some eats. For a touristy area, not too shabby.

Dogs of Instagram. (Note, this was a no-pet trail....)

Jorge The Raven definitely was enjoying the attention.

This couple was intent on getting that perfect profile pic for his AOL Instant Messenger Account.

Post surgery Rosie was really out of it. The vet found a fox tail in the upper lump; hopefully she'll have a speedy recovery this time!

Arches - Part Deux and More Utah

Check out time was 11am, so we got an early start and tried to squeeze in a few hours at Arches this morning. We got in and were able to see the Delicate Arch before 8:30, but parking after that got real busy and we weren't able to do the short walk to some other arches. We did get to see a bit more scenery there before heading out of town. 

Bluff is about 2 hours south (still in Utah). It's a small town with a Historic Fort highlighting the early Mormom settlers. They also have a convenience store and run-down laundromat. It is close to some other National Monuments and parks, but that's about it for this small town.

It's so delicate!

Do you see the Eagle?
