Friday favorites

Last August, Angelo and I took Piper and Tang to Dog Days at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs.

The weather was not ideal - first really hot, then really wet - but it didn't matter.

We had the best time.

Of course, we wanted to do it again.

So two weeks ago, we did!

This time, the weather was perfect.

Except for the bears...

and the skunks (sorry, Tang!)...

all the zoo animals were awake...

and lively.

Also, hungry!

Big happy sigh.

Best of all, this time we were joined by Angelo's wife, Tori...

and her dachshund, Archie.

It was so much fun having them with us.

This was just the best day.

It's official. Going to the Zoo with dogs and friends is one of my all-time favorite pastimes.

I can't wait to do it again!
