Today was beautiful so Zion and I took the trail skirting the river to get away from urbanity. I wish I would have brought a camera as Zion tends to surprise me with his curiosity and actions. He was trying to take a drink from the river but the current created tiny waves on the shoreline; his head bobbed and ears perked at each one that hit his ( Read more... )

While walking Zion around the town on one of our usual treks for outdoor activities, we passed by the elementary school. It's become the norm to hear comments on Zion's spottiness; you hardly ever see a dalmatian these days and he sure is a spotted one ( Read more... )
