I believe I've mentioned my "daughter", Pretzel, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She's totally adorable, thought I might share some pictures with you...
This is her pretty much relaxing after a long day's fun. (Above.) This was last August when we took a vacation to Montana to visit some relatives. We stayed in the tiny town of Red Lodge, at a KOA "Kamping Kabin". Pretzel really enjoyed herself, it was our first out-of-state road trip together.
This is us at a lake right outside of Red Lodge, right before my first attempt at fishing. Pretzel was all suited up in her life jacket, because I, being a worrisome "mother", felt that if she were to run out into the lake, her little stumpy legs would not be able to propel her upward.
And this, above is my absolute favorite picture of Pretzel in the entire world. (Please excuse my grubby sweats, frizzy hair, and glasses-- effects of what extreme humidity and four hours in the car can do...) It appears to me as if she's smiling.... I could look at her little furry face all day!!! I'm actually considering having her portion of the picture blown up and posted in my room... just look at that paw....
This was actually taken right before the Beartooth Pass, rated the number one scenic motorcycle drive in the United States. We weren't in a motorcycle, but my dad and I figured it would be just as beautiful if we were in a car, possibly windows rolled down for the whole effect. Anyway, we were driving up the hill (the pass goes up 11,000 feet!) to prepare to get on the main road for the pass, when a construction worker informed us that only one side of the road was open, and only a few cars were allowed to go at a time, so we would have to wait an hour and a half to get on the road. Yikes!!! A whole hour and a half!! So, to kill some time, Pretzel, my dad, and I went exploring... we found a lovely waterfall where we took some snapshots...
And that's me and Pretzel next to the waterfall. Here, below, you can see the lineup of cars and motorcycles, waiting for their turn to go...
It seems like a nightmare, that long of a wait, but it was really quite enjoyable. Everyone was walking around, being friendly and socializing... it's amazing the stories people have. I met a man from Pennsylvania (the second car in the lineup was his) whose car hood flew off in a lighting storm. I also talked with the motorcyclists, and they told me how they adored my puppy, and wanted to take pictures....
And, alas! Cars were coming down the mountain, signaling the end of their journey and the beginning of ours... we got in the car and began to drive....
It was a beautiful drive, worth the wait. Let me just add as a side note: Before we began the drive, it was 84 degrees. By the time we reached the top peak, it had dropped to 46!!

Awesome, huh? And here is one of my favorite pictures, below: The next group of cars, eagerly anticipating their drive. They all were smiling and waving at us...
I loved Red Lodge. We're planning to go back this summer.... with Pretzel, of course!
