Our New Dog!

On Tuesday we went and got our dog named Hawk. We had to put down our other dog, Brownie, since she left our yard and bit someone. Hawk is a Black Lab cross Border Collie cross German Shepherd.

Hawk and Brownie

The official name he came with is Hawk but each person can add their own variation: Hawkey, Hawkley, Hawkeye, etc.

Hawk licking!

Hawk has a long wet tongue and likes licking! We pray that he will be a good dog for us and for others around us!

Colorado Hiking

On the last full day we were in Jamestown, we left work a little early to hike the mountain behind the town. A forest fire had come through in 2003, and most everything is still bare!

At the top! The mountain is over 1100 feet tall. It took us just under an hour to climb and a little less to descend.

With Jesse being my only companion, I mostly took pictures of him.

It was hot! The work site was already in the shade, and around 5 °C. Up there it was still maybe around 15 °C!

“For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name.” Amos 4:13
