I was working in the ticket booth today when a fairly odd lady walked up. She was carrying a small bag containing two yorkshire terriers. When I told her that no dogs were allowed on the property, even in a bag she figure she would just leave them sit outside for awhile. I couldn’t believe she would just leave her obviously pampered positions sit outside unattended. On top of that it was raining fairly hard. I was a bit disgusted by this idea and asked if she would leave them in the booth with me. She did just that and was in the center for over a hour! For awhile I thought perhaps she had left without her pooches because she exclaimed earlier that she would just be gone for a few minuets. I couldn’t believe how those two dogs stayed in that small bag the whole time! The lady returned to the booth later very wet with a handful of different plants that she had collected from our hiking trails. From our brief discussion I learned that she is a nurse from San Diego and has a fascination for plants. She slung the dogs around her back and was on her merry way.
-She was just going to leave them out in the rain!
-I couln't belive how much these guys heated the booth.
-My God, they were so cute!
My short walk home was more beautiful than usual for some reason that afternoon. I came across a few banana slugs. Even though these guys look huge to me everyone says there get much bigger. I touched one once. It’s really gross! They cover your hand in a very sticky gooie film that takes forever to come off. Jenna licked one last year because she heard that it makes your tongue numb and indeed her tongue went numb.
