Day 10 - Another day in the Tetons

Didn't get up quite as early this morning as we were going out to take early morning pictures. It's still snowing/raining here! It's cold, wet, and windy!

Off we go! Into the Tetons for sight-seeing even though it's raining/snowing. We stopped at the visitor's center. There were geese everywhere! Look closely at the picture with the goose on the edge of the roof. There is an egg behind her! It started snowing here.

We went on to a Museum for Animal Art. They had a water sculpture inside of a moose. Oh Don...it's real title is "Swamp Donkey." No kidding!

It's at this point we almost lost Chrissy! We had stopped in the Park to take some photos and she was with David who had her on the leash. We got back in the truck and she started to throw up and rub her face on the pavement once we stopped. She had blisters coming up on her nose and face. We quickly got her back into the truck to drive to Dornan's store for peanut butter and benadryl. Her little face continued to swell until her lips looked as if they turned inside out. Her eyes also started to swell shut and she was developing blisters everywhere on her face. She gave one huge sigh and stopped moving. I was afraid she was gone and screamed at David to drive faster. It was still 10 minutes to Dornan's. He flew inside and got the benadryl and peanut butter. We gave it to her and within minutes the swelling was going down.

We got back to the hotel where Eddie and Susan were staying and the hotel staff found a vet we could talk to. The vet told us that something had probably bitten or stung her and that we had acted correctly. She told us to continue giving her the PB and benadryl during the night. We did and she's much better now! I really thought she was gone at one point!

David and I celebrated our 21st anniversary on May 9, but waited to celebrate until we got to the Tetons. David made reservations for us in the Mural Room at the Lake Jackson Hotel in the Park. You go to the second floor and get a stunning view of the mountains - unless it's snowing! It was 39 degrees and snowing!

Before we ordered, they brought out bread and butter. The butter pats were moose shaped! I had wrack of lamb and David had elk. I tasted it and it was good, but don't think I would ever order that!

It was snowing heavily and it was cold so we headed back to town! What a great day in the park!

See ya down the road!
