we are in memphis now. heading to Dallas, TX
villette...if you want...we can meet up some time tomorrow???? dallas is not exactly houston...but compared to Nashville, it is close
just let me know. pm me and i will give you my number if you are interested in meeting up.
our navigation puts us in Dallas at around 7pm, it is a 9 hour trip...but we are adding in extra time for potty breaks
so we are thinking more like 8pm at this point. we'll see
we just made our first potty stop and maya immediately went potty...i'm so proud of her!!!
someone asked if i was sad to see her go..OF COURSE!!
it has been a rough few days because she really hadn't caught on to anything...but yesterday and today she has really shown signs that she is catching on to the way things go
she is going potty when we take her out...she does not cry when in her crate anymore...she is walking on her leash better...
so...now, it is really sad to see her go
she is such a sweetheart. she loves to cuddle, loves to be carried, loves to be around people. her mommy is one lucky gal to have her as a pup
the first few days, she would SCREAM if she had to go in her crate. but i wanted to make sure she got used to it, so i had her sleeping in there at night. and of course, when we were not in the house to watch her, she stayed. now, se seems quite comfy in it. which i think is good, because her mommy is in an apartment and a screaming pup in an apartment is not always a good thing LOL. since we live in a house it didn't cause any problems.
yesterday she got a bath with cowboy magic and some good smelling conditioner...she got combed good...which she HATED...and is now so incredibly soft and smells lovely
so maya should be right as rain when her mommy gets her
ok...so far the trip is going great. no hold ups at all. the dogs are doing wonderful. we brought lots of water, the a/c is nice and cold, they have plenty of toys and things to keep them occupied, and it is even teaching maggie to share her crate (i have both dogs in the same crate...so they can snuggle LOL). you have to understand, maggie is so super possessive of her crate. in fact, when i went to put it in the car, she freaked out. she thought i was getting rid of it, i guess. she went nuts. and when i first put maya in there with her, she was not happy. but she quickly got used to it and now they can just be travel buddies LOL
will update some more as the trip progresses
