Teeth Cleaning

Steep

Becca and I did a slightly abbreviated trek west of Tortugas Mountain this morning, and there seemed to be an abundance of outdoor enthusiasts in and about the area; included in that group were enthusiasts of the critter kind, especially birds.  We encountered three winged desert denizens who were well worth the time it took to stop and photograph them.  After returning home I had to head out to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned.  The hygienist was highly amused when I told her I brush my dog Becca's teeth everyday.  She doesn't even brush her dogs' teeth.  Tsk, tsk.
