Day 140 – 9/9/13 – 0 mi (2582.8)

Zero day!  We  slept in a bit and then packed up and headed across town to the hostel, since the price of the hotel we had been staying in was going up.  Bo rented a car, and Ninja and Sweetfish joined him, along with Portrait and Castle, for a tourist day driving around the park.

LoveNote, Burly and I hung around town and did not much.  I took a little walk over to see the historic Glacier Park Lodge.  I noticed the evening’s musical entertainment was to be Emma and Kam, the daughter and daughter’s boyfriend of the woman who gave us a ride back to the pass for our slackpack yesterday.  So in the evening, LoveNote, Burly and I went to listen.  Just as we started the half mile walk to the lodge, two dogs started following us.  They followed us all the way to the lodge, and en route we named them Cutsie and Marshmallow Fluffer-butt.  They tried to go in the lodge with us, and security had to escort them out…several times.  When we came out after the music was over, the dogs were still waiting there.  One of the lodge employees explained that they were most likely strays, that people just drop them off around hostel and abandon them.  Poor puppies!!  They followed us back to the hostel and the women who owns the hostel fed them and put them in a fenced yard for the night.  I kinda hate dogs, but I kinda want Marshmallow Fluffer-butt.  Good thing I’m homeless, or I’d have probably ended up with him.
