Daytrip to Lakes
Buena Vista
We took a daytrip yesterday, north of Buena Vista, to Clear Creek Reservoir and Twin Lakes. Both places are popular with fisher-people. We saw both fly fishers and the old fashioned kind. This picture was shot about 20 miles north of BV. It was a hot afternoon when we left the RV park, but 10 degrees cooler at the lakes. Not sure what the elevation was. We sure are appreciating the natural beauty up here.
We took our Chihuahua, Chester, to the veterinarian this morning. He was not wanting to put weight on one of his rear legs since Saturday. The vet was one who had been recommended to us as being a good at diagnosing and surgery but not the best with his people skills. We were pleased with him (one of two vet clinics in town). Chester has a history of luxating patellas on both rear legs. That means his little kneecaps pop out of place when he walks. The leg that was bothering him was the same leg that had surgery in 2004 - surgery that was not completely successful. The vet did a good exam and felt the problem was inflammation. He gave us a prescription for Metacam which is better than giving aspirin. Chester is much better - back to his usual bratty self. He'll always have problems with his rear legs to some extent, but he gets around pretty well.
On the way home from the vet clinic, we stopped at a wonderful little bakery that we have discovered. They have very good bread, and sinfully luscious pastries. Somehow two big cinnamon buns jumped into our sack.
We are having some light rain and thunder/lightning with dark clouds coming over the mountains. In the summer, afternoon storms are common, but nothing like the heavy rain and high winds back in Nebraska. Rain is welcome here anytime.
