Zira + Dirt Trails = What were we thinking?!?!?

For our Anniversary we thought it would be fun to go up the canyon and go for a walk. Being completely normal dog seperation anxiety parents we are, we decided to bring Zira along. I stocked the car with towels, baby wipes to wipe her down, a bag to throw them away in and water.

We decided we were going to go up the canyon to Bridal Veil Falls and go for a nice little walk, we thought Zira would probably have a blast too. Well, when we got to the canyon, there was a big fire right up by Bridal Veil so they weren't letting anyone up there. So we decided to go up to Vivian Park, well that was closed to.

As we were driving we could see the helicopter that was bringing water up to the fire, it was so crazy it came down to the river like right next to us and was sucking up water to go dump on the fire, we all thought that was pretty cool.

Well, we finally decided we would just go drive up the Alpine Loop, after about an hour of driving trying to find somewhere to get out and walk around, we were all antsy to get out. Being the smart people we are we decided to get out and go walk on a dirt trail, in a matter of seconds Zira was covered in dirt and LOVING it! Needless to say, the walk lasted about 3 minutes before we headed back to the car. There was no amount of baby wipes that could save her..... But she did throughly enjoy her dirty mess she had made all the way home.
