socialize in their own custom corral. Later, Mommy Kar- en and Daddy Jared joined them in the corral to visit and hand out treats to all the beautiful babies they’ve bred and blessed us with. Later that evening we met again in the breakfast room, or what we’ll refer to as Biewer HQ, for the pet costume contest. We had an angel and devil, bikini babes, pro hockey players, a postman, spider, cowgirl, bum- blebee, a Biewer beaver, a baby sea turtle, octopus, shark, three mermaids and a fisherman, and they all got to strut their stuff down the red carpet, complete with red velvet ropes and gold stanchions—just like the A-list celebrities they are! Ribbons and awards (aka toys) were handed out to all the deserving winners, but the best reward (at least for the contestants) was getting to take their accursed costumes off! Friday, September 16, was a picture-perfect Colorado day with bluebird skies and white, puffy clouds… a perfect day to go horseback riding! Jared and Karen trailered two of their horses, Whiskey and Princess, to Mancos State Park for those who wanted to channel their Urban Cowboys & Cowgirls. There were several who jumped at the chance to go horseback riding and several who were perfectly content to be spectators and cheer the riders on. Karen captured the riders’ joy in her beautiful photos. Afterwards, we en- joyed another delicious meal of BBQ ribs and chicken pro- vided by End of the Trail Catering. We had free time in the afternoon, but met up later in the Biewer HQ that evening
