Today we went to the Badlands of South Dakota - now we know why they got their name. It was 101 degrees in the shade! WOW was it ever hot. Mom had packed a lunch, and when we stopped to eat, it didn't take us long to eat and get back in the truck in the A/C. We really didn't see much as far as animals - they were hiding from the heat - we only saw one lonely buffalo in the distance and some prairie dogs - they were frolicking and having a great time - the heat didn't seem to bother them at all. Mom is amazed at how green all the grass is given the heat and it's the end of July.

Tomorrow I get to go to doggie day care while Mom and Dad to to Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore - they don't let dogs in those places, and Mom refused to make me stay in the truck, even if there was shade.
Tuesday we head out again and are headed to the Grand Tetons. Mom says that is her most favorite place in the whole world - so far.....
