So they keep getting more and more cute! They've met Liz, and are fascinated... Plus, it's pretty much Heaven around their new place    -- MUCH better than any shelter! And Ben is "kinda" getting the hang of "Puppy Play".  :)

They're doing Amazingly well, together!  Ben might just thinks he's a dog, like Roxie. And here's some cuteness, after the long day...  :)

With the loss of Elsie, we decided to embark on our plan (discussed, often) of getting a Dog AND cat, together. So.... meet Big Ben! He's a  Maine Coon , about 7 years old.  He's the sweetest, biggest thing! And here is Roxie! She is a Poodle-mix, about 1 year old. She's high-energy... and wanting to play with Ben! :S Here is one of the 1st standoffs.... And here is where how things stand. We'll see in time, if they become friends...  :)

Today, we headed to raft at Noah's Ark , in Buena Vista.  It was awesome! We're on the board! No water camera, so this is the best I could get of the river. The professional's pic!

Right down the road from our apartment, we found Cherry Creek State Park... and a TON of prairie-dog mounds.  They're SO Cute! When alarmed, they shout squeaky-yelps, to others

This day, we headed to a hiking area, near Boulder, CO! Just another GORGEOUS vista Awww.... :)

So we love this little easy-hike in Roxborough (great when you're still adjusting to the altitude).  And so we came back, but at dusk. View from Lyons Lookout (overlooking the walking trail) Dusk meant... DEER!
