life is good

This post is more of an update on Cosmo than anything else. I may sound repetitive to previous posts, but not a lot has been happening with Cosmo; it's been a pretty typical week.

Well, the weather is becoming warmer and warmer every day, which means the trails are drying up! I was able to finally hit the trails on my mountain bike! Even though it is supposed to be colder and possibly Sunday, the warmer weather is still upon us. I've even been able to sleep with my windows open and wake up to the chirping birds and squeaking squirrels. This means it is time to really get Cosmo into shape! I was able to take him on three walks this week- Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Although he struggles as we pass by dogs happily sprinting through the fields off to the side of the trails, I know Cosmo definitely enjoys being out of the house sniffing what he can. It's definitely a peaceful time for me during my hectic school week to just relax and enjoy life outside with my dog. Anyhow, I think he's gradually picking up his walking pace and building his endurance.

Cosmo and I are both not in the best shape we could be, so I think if I dedicate time to myself and to Cosmo, him and I will be happier by this time next year. Living in Park City, I find it much more enjoyable and motivating to get your exercise in. Instead of running, walking, or biking through a neighborhood with traffic and pollution, there's so many trails throughout the mountain that you can enjoy yourself and the fresh air while still getting a work out in. Everyone is so much friendlier than typical cities where people are not as active. The best part, is that I swear every single person living in Park City owns at least one dog- it's so awesome. I love where I live.

Lately, Cosmo has been such a pain to have sleep on my bed. Like I've mentioned previously, he gets so annoying in the middle of the night and wakes me up. But I feel so sad for him when no one wants him in their room at night and lays out in the hall all alone, so I usually give in and let him sleep on my bed. When I help him up onto my bed, he likes to find a spot to sleep in the dead center. IT'S RIDICULOUS. I saw this picture and thought it went perfectly with my scenario.

I'm excited to finally just take a break and explore Park City a bit over this spring break- maybe I'll find an easy hike to take Cosmo on. But for now, life is great. Cosmo is still as happy as ever, spring is more or less here, and I get a week off from school. Enjoy the warm weather approaching- take advantage of it by getting outside with your wet-nosed friends!
