I left Prescott, heartbroken. Weeks later now and I still am. I miss my little Pugsly. My scientific, logical mind knows that not only is my Pugsly not actually in this little wooden box, but the ashes in there are most likely a few different dogs all mixed up with hers. But my emotional mind cries, “I don’t want her to be alone! She’d be scared!” When I am ready, I will say goodbye and release her ashes. But I’m…
It’s raining right now. Fitting for how I’m feeling. The heavens cry along with me with the loss of my wonderful companion, Pugsly. I have few words now. I didn’t know it was possible to love a wee creature so much. Four years ago, she walked lost down my street and found me.

Works! It took me two hours to go 10 miles to my new campsite. It’s great! The Chisos mountains and the doggies are my companions. I got to do some outdoor reading, but this giant orange threatening wasp looking creature kept hovering around me, so…
After a night with at least two different thunderstorms having rolled through and visions of flash floods ripping through our camp, I was up before sunrise. It was a beautiful, if muddy, morning After a quick coffee, we tried to avoid the mud as much as possible and headed out. The morning after the storm is splendid. We stopped at the Twin Rocks Cafe in Bluff, UT for breakfast.  I had the blue corn pancakes and eggs special. So much yum!…
