Zeppo's OCD

Zeppo has Obssessive Compulsive Disorder. I'm not sure if there has been a study for dogs with OCD or not. It would be interesting to find out with percentage of K9's have it-or if Zeppo is a rare case.
For several weeks after I got in the habit of taking a nap after work. Zeppo will only eat his Milk bone biscuits when I'm in bed. Now I've been going to bed a reasonable time and no-longer need a nap. After his afternoon walk he begs and scratches my legs -until I lay down. He eats about 5 milk bones then I get up again.

The bleach with down my arm and collected near my arm pit- on the soft tender skin. I now a line of chemical burn down my arm. Ending at large spot which is open. But the good news is the sliding looks great

I don't make this stuff up-Byway 12

Every bathrooms we stopped at on Scenic 12-had some sort of sign giving directions where to pee or poop. Urinals with do no poop signs. Toilets with please pee on the inside. No public urination at others.

It's along ways between towns. Now with the price of gas some towns don't get newspapers .

Not in any book-Scenic Byway 12

The Grand Escalate Monument is one thing-it the 60 mile stretch to Torrey.
Byway 12 has free range cattle. I realize Westerner are use to it- but, to us Easterner it's a bit surreal to drive by.
Driving is easy no winding cliff hanging roads.
Fill up before you go- Gas is hard to find and expensive.

Scenic Highway 12 Bryce to Torrey
















Scenic Highway 12 -should not be missed. It is the most beautiful stretch of road in the county. Its 120 mile- with over 19 attractions. 60 miles of National Monuments called the Great Escalate staircase. It leads all the Capital Reef National Park. Fill-up your tank before you go, not many gas stations and if you do its expensive.
