Durango, a Toxic Spill and Mesa Verde Otra Vez
Today was a long day, but that's not a complaint. When your day is filled with good stuff, it's good that it's long. I started in Farmington where I stopped at a corner water vending machine to fill up my jugs with filtered water before heading out of town. I drove about an hour to Durango where I was going to teach Amazing. I got there over half an hour early, as planned, and let River run around on a grassy area on his 50 foot leash. It had started raining this morning, so the grass was wet and muddy. It didn't deter us from enjoying a moment of dog play. Once River's needs were met, I loaded the crate into the studio and put him inside. I chatted with my host, Evonne, while the students gathered for class.

If it was FloorPlay, they were totally playful. The routine also has some new movements t
