New Deck!

So I've finally got a way to easily get into my room from the outside. Mom's bf dude is a really good carpenter and he's been building a deckramp thing for the last couple days for the door to my room.

Ignore the trailer and ladder
Before I had some cinder blocks set up like steps but they kinda sucked. This is a lot better. It still needs to be painted but the construction is done.  Neatly enough, Conker can't fit through the bars so if I wanted to put him outside and keep him there, I can block off the ramp and hold my Shiba hostage on my new private entrance deck.


Anyways...
Today Juneau went in for her tooth extraction and cleaning at about 7:30 AM. The vet called not too long ago and said Juneau is doing fine and that we can pick her up at 4.

Sasha has been moping all day so I took her and Conker hiking. Sasha saw me grab her Approach pack and instantly knew we were going somewhere and perked up right away.

The hike wasn't too long today. I kinda cut it short by taking a trail I have never gone on before that slices through the middle of the Cathedral Hills system. It was still a lot of fun.

Haven't taken one of these in a while.
Conker wasn't as much of a dork as he usually is, mainly since Juneau wasn't around. He was still an ass to Sasha, just not as bad as he is with Juneau.

Sasha decided she wanted in on the fun.
The lack of Juneau resulted in something I hadn't really expected. It was a lot less, exciting, without her. When Juneau is around Conker is more wild, annoying, and since Juneau is a high energy dog, she is also going every direction at the same time as well. That didn't happen today. Both dogs were relatively mellow.

Sasha braving the strong winds.
Today is a strange day in regards to the weather. We don't often get a lot of wind but man is it blustery! It was so windy that I had to take my hat off and attach it to my belt or it'd have blown off my head.

Angry clouds and snow in the distance.
But that's not the only strange weather. Though our elevation is quite low, we are surrounded by mountains that reach several thousand feet in height rather quickly. Some of them have snow on them from the past few nights. It's supposed to snow some more for a while.


I ran out of stuff to write about.

The farthest Sasha ever got ahead. She was only about 75 feet away.
Oh yeah. Sasha didn't like to be too far ahead of me and preferred to keep me in sight. Funny, since Conker and Juneau will both take off and only come back when they realize that I'm no longer around or I call them. Though she doesn't quite listen 100% and will often ignore me to dine on horse crap or sniff some grass off the trail (and get ticks in the process), she is much better than Conker and Juneau when it comes to staying nearby.

Will update on the Juneau situation later.
