Trippin in OLD TOWN Scottsdale

I was reportedly a "GOOD BOY" on Saturday morning during Father Peter's blessing, so Dad took me for a ride down to Old Town.


When we pulled up on Brown Street, I could see all the Indian art, horse statues, leather goods, and even an old Spanish Mission. I felt like a real honest to goodness cowboy!

The Indian standing guard on the sidewalk wasn't too talkative, but I didn't take it personally.


The blacktop was so hot that Dad had to carry me to the shade of the covered porticos that ran along the storefronts, so the hot desert sun didn't scorch my toes.

We walked into a store, and a nice man with a big smile greeted me with pats on the head. He said some nice things to me in Spanish, and measured my neck..."what is he doing??"

It turned out that my new friend, Marcello was a very talented leather artisan, and was sizing me up for a special souvenir to commemorate my first trip to the Southwest.

It was a perfect fit!

I can't wait to show off my new collar to my friends back in Florida at the Bark Park!

By the way, I guess we're leaving for Austin, TX on Sunday morning...then heading home on Tuesday, the 5th.
