So, there is a lady who lives in town who has this tiny dog. For a year now I've seen her all around town and at all times she has her dog in a baby backpack on her front side. I recall seeing her on the bike path, at the grocery store, etc. Now from these few instances, I figured maybe she was training the dog or something.
One day I saw her at the gym with the dog in the pack & then in the locker room, she opened her locker & out came the dog. I came home from the gym experience and told Ross about this puzzling story about this lady and her dog. He thought I was crazy until all her secrets were revealed in a newspaper article. Apparently, (don't quote me on this exactly) she has some rare blood disease that can make her heart start beating randomly & this dog can detect when it is about to happen--therefore, she carries it around at all times. At a later date, her story came up with some friends of ours who know her well & they mentioned that she also always wears winter clothes b/c she is always extremely cold. I guess I had never noticed this in my continual thoughts of the dog, but when they mentioned it, I did seem a little bizarre that she was wearing gloves & a hat at the gym. Anyways, tonight I sat by her at church. She really is a nice lady, but then I noticed she was wearing boot gaiters--what are the boot gaiters for I wondered? It is not raining or muddy. Why would anyone take the time to put on boot gaiters if they are unnecessary? I'm still wondering. And this is where my story currently ends.

well,
I swear I just had lunch with rockstar Kel so there.
I remember seeing this lady at the Minturn Market that day we were there. I thought that only in Vail would you see a woman carrying her dog in a baby-style front carrier (like a Baby Bjorn for you parents out there). What a mystery she is! And what a good dog to stay in a gymn locker while she worked out.
I've seen people kind of like that, but they are just ladies that carry around their toy poodles in their Coach dog purses and matching outfits everywhere they go because it's trendy, not because they have a rare health condition. fun times in the big D. :)
that is so awesome that this lady is so bizzare, that rachel remembers seeing her! She kinda sticks in your memory. Love that!
love the story. i laughed out loud and scott wanted to know what i was laughing at so i read it to him. he laughed too, but is still not sure how a dog can detect the heart beat. we hope the story continues.
