We went from three dogs to none, and my wife said no more until we are 80 so we can drop everything and jump in the RV and travel. Can't argue with that too much!
But I still need a dog fix from time to time, so I have decided to look for PNP trips where an overnight stay with the dog would be prudent. You know, for safety reasons, too many legs in one day and all that.
Today I flew down to Georgia in my -6a and picked up River. A four month old Golden and Labrador Retriever mix, he is on his way to be a service animal for Delta Dog. Awesome pooch, he mostly slept until we passed over some building cumulus and wallowed around a bit, which got his attention. So I opened the top hatch of the crate and gave him some love.
It has been a great afternoon and evening playing with him. A bit too rough in the Chesapeake Bay to 'baptize' him as all retrievers should, but lots of fun nonetheless. He is a tough one to give up, especially when after dinner he casually cruised into the under-desk cubby hole my departed Golden loved so much.
Dang this summer pollen, my eyes are watering up.
Off to New Hampshire in the morning, this dog has work to do!
