BlogDog cruised over to Cuba Cuba, a Caribbean restaurant on 12th Ave. and Delaware. He looked around at the colorful decor and almost felt like he was on an island.
Matt and Mary thought having a mojito would complete the feeling.

I'll be right there!
BlogDog has his moments of civil disobedience -- jumping up on guests when he knows he shouldn't, acting like he doesn't understand the command "sit" or refusing to share the bed.But usually, he is happy to come when called.

The wilds of Cherry Creek
BlogDog took to the tall grasses along the Cherry Creek bike path this morning.
He moved with stealth, enjoying a hunt in a private world only he could perceive.

Sunday morning services
BlogDog was intrigued by the open door at St. John's Cathedral this morning. Since 1911, Episcopalians have been attending Sunday services at this location on 14th Ave. and Washington St.
Although churches usually welcome all visitors, Mary wasn't sure how welcoming they would be to BlogDog. She decided they wouldn't go inside and find out.

BlogDog visits the giant dancers
Today was BlogDog's first visit to the two giant dancing men on Speer Blvd.-- officially known as "Dancers," by artist Jonathan Borofsky.
He seemed to like the sculpture, which was installed in 2003 at the Denver Performing Art Center sculpture park as part of Denver's Public Art Program. He definitely liked being outside on a lovely Saturday.

The "unsinkable" who?
BlogDog visited the restored home of the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown at 1340 Pennsylvania Ave.
Before visiting the museum, he didn't know much about this legendary Denver resident.
To be honest, BlogDog didn't know much more after visiting -- but Matt and Mary did.

It was a peaceful morning at Civic Center Park. BlogDog sat on the stairs of the Capitol building, quietly posing for photos until (!) he detected the "clickety click" of rapidly approaching squirrel feet.

What would be more stimulating is a squirrel
BlogDog sat patiently in the car waiting for Mary to drive him to the Museum of Nature and Science to see President Obama the $787 million stimulus bill into law today.Although BlogDog was disappointed that the "tax-free rawhide for all" clause was omitted from the final stimulus package, he still looked forward to getting out of the house.

Presidents' Day delight at Don's

An epic moment at Cheeseman Park
BlogDog went on high alert Sunday morning at Cheeseman Park as a squirrel climbed a tree not ten yards from where BlogDog stood.Since BlogDog was on a leash, it never got more exciting the moment in this photo.

He's gone country
BlogDog threw on his country attire and headed for the Grizzly Rose to see Little Big Town perform tonight.
Although he got there early, he wasn't able to get in.
He got over it quickly and had a good day anyhow.

What's a workout?
BlogDog doesn't quite get the concept of a workout. "Running is what you do when there's a squirrel to chase," he thinks. "Strong is what you get when you pull hard on your leash."
But, he is still happy to hang out at the pullup bar at Washington Park and watch.

Here's a hint: On some summer evenings, more than 50,000 people gather less than 500 feet from where BlogDog sits.

Would you rather...
...sit on the wet ground in the snow for a photo with the dome of Colorado capitol building glowing beautifully in the background?
Or check out the guy sitting on the bench with the blankets over there to see if he'll pet you?
BlogDog really wanted to go for the second option tonight.

Fun fact in sandwich history
Why, you may wonder, is BlogDog spending his valuable time posing in front of a dusty old Quiznos?
Because, he would tell you, it's not any Quiznos. This particular shop, located at 13th Ave. and Grant St., is the first in what is now a chain of more than 5,000 Quiznos stores around the world. That's a Denver fun fact he wants to share!

No zoo for you!
More than 1.5 million visitors each year see these colorful flags at the entrance to the 80-acre Denver Zoo.
Matt and Mary had to explain to BlogDog why he was not allowed inside to roam Predator Ridge with the spotted hyenas and African wild dogs. He put on a stoic facade for this picture, but was really quite bummed.

Saturday on Old South Pearl
BlogDog was happy to mingle with Saturday shoppers on Old South Pearl Street. He eagerly greeted every shopper in this popular, historic area with a tag wag and an eager look. "Pet me! Love me! Give me treats!"
Follow canines were greeted a curious caution and a thorough sniff.

Denied at the doggie bakery
Three Dog Bakery, in the Cherry Creek North shopping area, sells cute doggie treats for fancy dogs. Pooches are allowed in the store, but their owners are not allowed to photograph their pet or the treats inside the business for "copyright reasons," we were told.Instead, here's a photo of BlogDog sniffing the sidewalk outside.
We hope one day he will be invited to take his picture inside the store. And given some more treats.

BlogDog, a horse and a chair
A 6-foot horse stands on a 21-foot red chair outside the Denver Public Library and generally attracts a lot of attention.
The artist, Donald Lipski, said of his statue, which is officially titled "The Yearly, "If it makes people stop and feel something they haven’t felt before, I’m happy.”
The work didn't seem to have quite the effect Lipski had hoped on BlogDog.

Six more weeks of winter?
BlogDog was not excited when famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter.
Warm weather means longer walks -- and longer walks mean more fun for BlogDog!
