Black Dog Sunday

I remember this day well. We were camped just below the Continental Divide. We'd heard that the wildflowers were stupendous up near the Divide. The Runner and our Black Dog left the LabMobile first, planning to run along the Divide. As they departed, R did his usual celebration - leaping vertically into the air while barking as loud as he could. He was happy to be going running in the mountains.

Shyla and I left a little later under cloudy skies with thunderheads already starting to form. The trails were so steep that I was pushing my bike up some of them. We met the boys after they'd turned around and were running toward our campsite along the Divide. This field of Asters was next to us when we met. I convinced the Runner to take a short break to let me take photos of our Black Dog frolicking in the flowers. Oh, what fun!

Our Black Dog was so happy to be running through the flowers. He made me smile ear-to-ear. He was the definition of joyful.

Happy Black Dog Sunday.
