motel notes

A few random thoughts from our stay at the Denver motel...

Pretty sure this was the heeler sisters' first experience with an elevator. The little maskless one was a little uneasy about it all, but then she can see.

The blind masked heeler pretty much took it in stride. But she didn't have any visual cues to conflict with the feeling we were moving.

Given a choice, heelers would rather take an elevator to get downstairs.

And take the stairs to get back up.

I don't know why.

She manages so well in places she knows, it takes a totally unfamiliar environment to remind us just exactly how blind the masked heeler is. Walking into walls, beds and toilets. Stepping off into space at the tops of stairs, or stumbling into the riser at the bottoms. And being completely unable to find a water bowl unless her sister is drinking from it, or you rap the sides.

And speaking of water bowls...

Refilling the bowl after nine o'clock at night in a motel may not be a wise idea.

Unless one enjoys climbing out of bed and pajamas and getting completely dressed, including boots, coat and hat, at one o'clock in the morning.

When it's four degrees outside.

Gal on the graveyard shift at the front desk was chipper enough, though.

Everybody thinks the sisters are pretty. Even at one o'clock at night.
