Annie on the road

We are on the road again. This time well armed with Annie. Getting away was a real effort. Adding a new puppy to our list of things to do was exhausting. The trailer gave us some trouble also, the shower would only issue cold water. So two days before we left I took the trailer to the repair shop for repairs and and now we have a shower leak. Lesson learned is always take it to Airstream in Jackson Center, OH.

As we drove past Stockton traffic began to back up on the northbound side of the freeway. A big-rig truck was on fire and naturally a south-bound looker caused an accident right behind us. Luckily, we got thru OK.

First night was at Atwater, because we got off so late and because it is not crowded. Due to Annie's shots, seeing the vet etc. we did not get away from home until 12:30 but it was worth the effort. Annie got her first exposure to actual play other than at home in her back yard. She loved it! Also, at home she was reluctant to do her bathroom chores outside, but here she was F R E E to do as she pleased. So other than getting up at 2am and 6 am and going outside with her things have been fine. Unfortunately this duty has fallen on Shirley.

Yesterday we arrived in Bakersfield at 3 pm and Annie has seen dogs galore. Things are looking up but we do not know how it will go in rain and bad weather. Wish us luck there.

As we drove toward Fresno, a pick-up truck was on fire again in the north-bound side of the freeway and traffic piled up just before noon. Tough luck for north-bound folks.

My turn to take Annie out before we get ready to leave, so see 'ya later.

Annie's "condo" in the trailer.

Am I to sleep in the crate or look out at the sights?
See Ya! Barry and Shirley
