Joe is a brave dog

I went out to Bernalillo with Joe and we walked along the acequia madre (main irrigation ditch). There is a pretty interesting gate structure where the water is split into different canals. There is kind of a rickety metal bridge over the water and the gates. Joe promptly headed across. He is very fond of heights and looking down on stuff and was delighted to peer down thru the metal mesh at the churning water below. His ears were back, but the tail was wagging. He also likes to stand on the edge of cliffs. He is a thoroughly scary guy about this. I had to go out on the bridge to get him back which I found scary since the word rickety really overestimates the condition of this bridge.

Today, I am grateful for the day I was given, friends, children cleaning the shed without being nagged and long walks with the pup.
