It was raining pretty hard again this morning. I didn't want to go outside. Mom waited until it was just sprinkling, then she took me out. Mom checked the weather toward Tucson and it was spozed to clear up, so she packed me in the truck and we headed out of town. She took some state hiways to get there. I saw some steers and barked at them. There were lots of wildflowers along the side of the road. Mom stopped to get a sandwich and shared some with me. I liked that! We drove thru Catalina, Oracle and then into Tucson from the north. I think we had limited time or something, because we didn't really look around the town much. Mom headed right for the Saguaro National Park. Wow, it's really pretty here. Cacti all over the place! and the hillsides are so green from all the rain they had this winter. We stopped at this overlook area. There was a family originally from WI there. Good looking son (too young-but you never know). Mom and I moved over to read some signs and there were 4 more guys visiting the area. I'm such a guy magnet-they all want to pet me. 1 of the guys lives in Tucson and has a landscape business. He was explaining things to his friends, so we stayed close so mom could hear. We just might have to stay longer-the cactus won't be blooming until in April. Darn. One of the guys was hitting on mom. He gave her a card with his name and number on the back. "This is for you" he said. He was good looking. I really think they were looking for people to be born again. We then kept going down the road. We didn't stop in Old Tucson 
where they used to make movies. Mom really wanted to see more saguaros. She stopped at the park office to pay the fees and get me some more water. Then a rough 6 mile dirt road trail through guess what? More saguaros. Some of the ocotillo cactuses had orange plumes at the tops. Then we headed out of the park thru some residential areas, back thru part of the park and out again. Mom decided to take I-10 back toward Phoenix. She was a little nervous. She's heard some stories of some awful wrecks. But, with the rain as we left, there shouldn't be any dust storms today. Another pretty drive home. We got back about 5. I got to go in the fenced area and play with a boxer who liked to run more than me. There was a nice puddle to lay down in, too. Mom changed clothes and stopped at Walgreens for another inhaler and went to dinner at a mexican restaurant. She had a margarita and a chicken chimichanga. Then she came home to watch Biggest Loser! Hellllooooo-What was that about?
