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!

In conjunction with the upcoming Colorado specialty, a raffle is being held to benefit the Gompa Lhasa Apso Preservation Program Trust and Registry. For those collectors of the apsolutely unique, a giclee print of an original watercolor is up for grabs …
The second item is a BlueMax crate sized for an Apso (complete with pan and cover). I’m told that these crates have a latch mechanism that’s the best out there. More information on the raffle (tickets are available via PayPal) can be found here … Fundraising.

Tibetan Symbolism of the Crewelwork
The red cord dangle is for Good Luck. It swings freely like prayers
carried on the wind to God/Buddha.
The circle of green calls for wholeness, balance, and harmony. The
color is always associated with a young, mischievous, playful nature.
Red is the color of passion and discriminating wisdom. It is the
color of powerful rituals and deeds.
