Mountain dogs

Thank you Debby.
I want to see Koyuki’s aunt too!
Here is the photo at Baldy mountain not Himalaya.
But, the Summit elevation is 13,684 feet.
My apsos enjoyed the mountain.
The photo belows reminds me of her grandmother, Victoria. Victoria has spent most of her life with Julie and Kaylee, but for a little while she lived here with me. Before Nate could drive, it was my responsibility to get him to early morning swim practice in the summer. 6:30 AM to be exact! Six days a week! I don’t miss those days! Our house is about 20 minutes from Evergreen, so workdays I went for a hike before work, rather than spend another 40 minutes on the road. Victoria was, by far, the best hiker of any of my dogs. She would be out in front of me blazing the trail. It didn’t matter if the hike was 3 miles long, she hiked with enthusiasm. Seems like her granddaughter Koyuki does too.
What a pretty photo of Sakura. I love how her yellow barrette with the yellow flowers..
Tet takes such great photos!

Last Saturday Ginny and Kim made a great dinner, complete with BBQ in the rain. Here’s the Black Bean Salsa recipe everyone requested:
Apso Hair Shawl
Posted: August 8, 2007 Filed under: DRambles on Black Mountain Leave a commentThis is a scarf I knitted, combining my Apso yarn with fancy, colorful yarn. The gloves were purchased, then embellished with the fancy yarn.
I supplied the hair. Eve spun it, wove it and donated this beautiful shawl to the Gompa dogs. It was raffled in St. Louis, October 2004, the week the Gompa dogs were presented for the first time in a public forum. This is Faye, modeling the shawl..
Madame Yoland de Zarobe won the raffle..
Apso yarn
Posted: August 6, 2007 Filed under: DRambles on Black Mountain | Tags: Debby Rothman 4 CommentsFor years I’ve been saving my dogs’ hair. I have a canvas bag hanging on my stand dryer; you want the bag to breathe. Each time I take the hair out of the slicker brush I put the hair in that bag. The hair is clean and already ‘carded’. When the bag is full I send it to Amanda Todt for spinning.
