Good morning bear |
Harley and I had a great time. We took lots of walkies and visited many parks. We also discovered Harley's new passion -squirrels!
This was a park near our hotel. I love the trees. You can see the remnants of snow. So pretty, but so cold! |
This is Harley's preferred position |

The biggest park we visited was Cherry Creek State park. It has one of the largest off leash areas I've ever seen in a park. According to the brochure, its 107 acres. Harley was very well behaved and only snapped at one big doggie. I was also very well behaved and didn't bark at anyone. (For more more info cpw.state.co.us) We spent two hours walking and exploring.

We climbed butterfly hill. I don't know why it was called butterfly, because it was covered in prairie dogs. Another Harley favorite. |

We also visited Washington Park. Amir went with us to this one. Geese are apparently a major issue at the park. I include pictures to show you the enormity of the problem. (Luckily, Harley did not care for geese)
Sorry I did not get a lot of people pics. You will have to be content with one of Amir and Harley.
I did not go to any of the convention, but I did get to know my way a little bit around Denver. It would be great, except for the traffic. Friday evening it took me 15 minutes to drive 1 mile. Saturday morning, the whole trip took 15 minutes. <<sigh>> All in all Denver was a nice city and we had a lovely visit.
