Another hockey day started with a bus and train ride into Denver. We walked around in the snow and took the shuttle to a few spots. We verified that Buddy will be able to attend the tour of the mint on Tuesday.
After the snow stopped and the weather cleared, our adventure took us to the thirteenth step of the state capitol which is exactly a mile above sea level. However, the highpoint of the day, pun intended, was climbing up the 99 steps to the top of the Colorado State Capital building. Quite a view of the city and mountains in the background. Buddy even attended a portion of a legislative meeting that was in session. How many dogs can say they attended a legislative session?
Our late lunch and Buddy got to see a Boston massacre. The first hockey game saw a complete annihilation of North Dakota by Boston College. A quick dinner and Buddy got to sit through three and a half periods of hockey. After the game someone asked who Buddy was rooting for. I told her that "he was hoping for a rout so we could leave early or at least finish in regulation".
Finally two buses and a short walk to the hotel. We let him lead us back to our room: turned at the stairs around the corner, up the stairs, another turn, through the front door. Perfect until he saw luggage in the middle of the hall and he started barking at it (@ midnight). Settled down and quickly to our room because that's where the food is.
One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why. - Author Unknown
