Lily doesn’t like dogs.
They’re dirty, she says – they smell and they’re dangerous. After this weekend, Aviva’s mom changed her mind a little bit.
She agreed we could bring our new puppy Iggy to her house as long as we brought his “cage,” a metal and plastic fence that can be shaped in many ways. So we packed everyone up in the car and drove out to Palm Desert. We spent Saturday walking on El Paseo and buying some cactus from the Moorten Botanical Garden.
Here’s a little video of Iggy bouncing on my knee in the hotel room:
A couple of audio files of doves cooing from the Moorten Botanical Garden in Palm Springs:

And a gallery of photographs taken in Palm Desert:
The Washington women’s team stayed at our hotel, we saw the Cal St team on the road at a rest stop

Iggy really wants to get at those doves
Iggy smelled and growled at this statue of a German shepard
Cactus flowers
Speaks for itself I think
Lots of windmills in a windy area on the route between Palm Desert and Los Angeles
This cactus grows odd anthropomorphic looking bits
Shopping Center Lights
Thats Snow Way Up There
Very pretty painted utility boxes on El Paseo Drive
An art shot I took at a rest stop
Iggy likes to sit on Aviva’s lap, which is great because our last schip didn’t
Cactus flowers
We all know love is blonde right?
Don’t know what kind (sign said from Madagascar) but they look cool
Took this on the road driving from Palm Desert
The mountains from Lil’s place
Iggy sitting watching me – he sometimes hams it up for the camera!
Its my couch, and – hey, that’s shiny over there

Lil doesn’t like dogs but she seems to be making an exception for Iggy
