Off The Road

 I took my Father and my babies on a road trip to the hills of Arkansas last week.  It really kicks my butt.  I have a newly discovered respect for people traveling with children.

We left here in rain and it rained for over half the trip.  I had to keep telling myself that the area needs rain bad.  During the week, the weather was mild and then turned frigid within 12 hours with wind gusts over 45 mph.  There was a bit of flying snow but it had been too warm to amount to anything on the ground.  Joe was glad to be at his home and have the run of a huge yard.  My girls loved the cooler temps.  Lucy struggled with all the stairs.  Her arthritis is quite evident in these cases.  We had a gorgeous day for travel back to Texas yesterday.  It's good to be back and have the trip behind us.
It seems like the holidays are over for us now.

We're On The Run

I'm taking my father home to the hills of Arkansas for the week.

Unfortunately, Lucy and Sable will stay behind. I've decided to board them which I just HATE to do. But I didn't have good luck with people helping me here at my home before soooooooooo. My father and the three dogs are just more than I can handle traveling.

The lucky dog will be Joe. He gets to go and enjoy some hopefully cooler weather and no swarms of mosquito's like here. He'll get the run of a very large yard compared to what I have so he should be pleased to be back at his home as well. In addition, no houses up close so the little devil can bark all he wants.

Have a good week! We will be back in time for Halloween so till then.
