I took the photograph above of the March Mutt of the Month this past week on West Pearl Street up in Boulder. Even on a windy, rather cool day, there were lots of people out and about, and as seen in the photo, that dog was quite willing to proudly pose for a portrait. Boulder is known as a place with a lot of free spirits, and I couldn't help thinking about that as I walked down the Pearl Street Mall. Every half block there were signs stating that dogs were not allowed on the mall, and yet it was filled with people walking along with their canines without a care in the world. Since Boulder is often described as "25 square miles surrounded by reality," this is not really a surprise. No wonder it has been named the happiest city in the U.S. by both National Geographic and The Today Show. Of course, not being able to afford living there kind of makes me unhappy, so I guess it is all just a zero sum game. Bummer.
