In case you haven’t been to Vickie’s ApsoRescueColorado site lately… and/or if you’ve been wondering if Dante loves his new ‘do….

Ahhhh, summertime and the camp sites are calling! We returned home Sunday evening from a four-day camping trip which included two days on the river in a canoe. This year’s trip was taken with my adult niece and her family, as well as one of Alan’s co-worker’s and his family for a total of six adults, four children and one dog … Dante. Our outdoor activities generally include the dogs whether it be camping, hiking, bicycling or canoeing (where *everyone* wears a life jacket).

Thanks Faye! (Now get back to work!)

Calligraphy artist in Tibetan related scripts and iconography, Tashi Mannox was born in England in the year of the water tiger. For the past 30 years he has studied an eclectic range of artistic disciplines within both the Eastern and Western traditions in his journey as a painter and calligrapher.

Shortly after gaining a BA [Hons] degree in Fine Art, he became a Buddhist monk of the Tibetan Kagyu order and at the tender age of 22 was given the name Tsering Tashi.
