The Three Chis

WOW....It has been a whirlwind of a weekend!  We arrived on Friday and our first destination....SUN VALLEY DOG.  We popped in and texted Nicole..."Look at the door"  and for the first time ever, we met in person one of the greatest people in the world, Nicole.  And to add to the excitment, Nicole was 90 minutes from the grand opening of SUN VALLEY DOG!  At 4:00pm, the doors opened and the people came!  The store is a hit with its amazing items for the stylish Isabella Cane & Sun Valley Dog collars & leashes to the fun dog toys like the Bark Street Journal and Puptrone and Ipaw!  Idaho is big BIG BIG dog country!  So lots of cool items for the bigger dogs! 

In addition to the fun of the grand opening was the amazing opportunity to stay with Nicole and her pack at her fab home in Ketchum.  We loved the Hoss, Lilly and Creole!  And Peter is a winner, too!

The dogs have a great life with Nicole!  Lots of space, lots of love and lots of hiking!  We got to enjoy the amazing hikes around the area.  Mingo tackled the hills and won!  And Mingo loved the long, long halls at Nicole's home.  She bounded up and down like a little gazelle!

Oh, and don't forget the fun adventures around town from the encounter with the black bear at the antique fair.  Mingo took that nasty scary bear down!  There was the amazing gondola ride up Mount Baldy....cold and windy, the view was amazing!  Concerts all weekend long at the new town square...Ketchum wisely converted a parking lot to a community hot spot where concerts will be held and ice cream sold and other fun events!

Little Mingo made it to Idaho and is now in love with the town, Nicole and of course, Little Hoss!  Time passed quickly..way too quickly!  But tomorrow, find out more about the fun journey home!
