Blue Moon Hike to end 2009

Tonight was a Blue Moon. It din't look blue to me at all, but what do I know?

Mom says a Blue Moon is the 2nd full moon of the month, or the 4th full moon in a season. Either way...the moon was huge tonight and very bright!


Mom and her friends decided it would be the perfect way to start New Year's Eve....so we were off to Cowles Mountain, a local mountain near San Diego that is perfect for a moonlight hike. Cowles Mountain has well maintained trails and a great view of the city in all directions.

The trail was dark and I got to wear my flashy light. We had a pretty big group with 2 other doggies, but one of the doggies (a 8 month old boxer) didnt like me so I wasn't able to play with them at all.

It was a fun hike though. 1.5 miles to the top.

My adoring fans can be found everywhere...even at the peak.

Me & Mom at the summit...see the blue moon in the right corner?

By the time we got home, I was pooped. I was so tired I din't even want to eat dinner...instead I just found the most comfortable spot in the house and passed out.


don't bother me..I'm sleepin!
