The Colorado Girl Diary I

 Hello, I’m Alison Simpson. Everyone that knows me calls me “The  Colorado Girl.” I’ve just arrived home post graduation from a small  prestigious liberal arts college on the east coast. I’m living with my  “rents.” These are my real biological married for life parents. I also  have a 13-year-old brother, Alex.

Half-Pipe was an abandoned baby, and now he’s a superb brilliant  golden retriever with a little of something else (probably blood hound).  Half-Pipe fortunately never bites humans. Half-Pipe was starving when  we arrived, and I swear he did nothing but eat the first week home. He  found a home at night in my bed.
