dog friendly

I love Bozeman, Montana!!! It could be known as Dog Friendly capital of the world.
We made the trip to see Luke. Luke knows the town like he's been there for years. He showed us around: partly Bronco, partly Red Rocket, and partly on foot.

Here's where Luke got us a great price on a hotel that had a spectacular free breakfast. Heidi gave me her bacon. (Don't tell Gerrit) (Don't tell Heidi Gerrit gave me some of his)


The bed wasn't bad. Heidi said the floor wasn't too bad either.









We walked around the downtown area and campus the night we got there. It's a wide open place with lots of grass and other friendly dog and dog owners.



The next morning, we picked Luke up from Rowskie Hall and headed for our first big adventure: hiking to the M on the mountain.

























This is what Bozeman looks like from the M. If you look closely you'll see where Luke lives. He says that it is one of the tallest buildings in the whole state of Montana.


After grabbing some lunch we went for a drive up a beautiful canyon--Hylite--I think it was. We stopped to eat our lunch at a big reservoir. Heidi thinks Bozeman could also be known as Picnic Table capital of the world and she was happy to enjoy one of thousands that can be found in Bozeman.
My favorite part was fetching lots of sticks in the beautiful blue chilly water.













Even though Luke said I was 100% wet he let me cuddle up to him on the way down the canyon. That's one of the many reasons why I love Luke. With that--we were back in the car and headed back to SLC.

P.S Luke--please call really soon in need of a hiking buddy. I'll be eagerly waiting.

Thanks so much again for coming to visit me this weekend. I had a really great time with all three of you here, it was so nice to see family faces again. I will be sure to call when I need a hiking buddy, I hope that offer sill stands in the winter time when he cold really sets in. Anyway, I'm so happy you had a good time, and now that you know how pretty it is up here in Bozeman, you will only have to come visit more often.
