Wow, that's wonderful!! Lucky you!
Funny this post was started just as I'm stressing about our trip this weekend. We got Tatum as a puppy when we were living with my MIL while building our house so she loves "Grandmother" and we leave her with my MIL whenever we have to go somewhere. Turns out though that she is going to the same place we are this weekend so she can't keep her. A neighbor of ours has a boarding kennel which is were we leave Stormie, our Australian Shepherd but I just don't like it for Tatum. This is an "indoor" kennel but is still not "the life" that Tatum is used to. When we had our toy poodle, we would always board him at the vet because of his health. I knew he was getting the best of care there but I just can't imagine Tatum being in a "cage" all day and night (Thursday through Sunday).
So...... long story short (too late!), we have decided to take her with us. We're traveling with our Airstream (travel trailer) so when I have to (like when we go eat or something), I can leave her in there. The rest of the time, she'll just have a ball hanging out with us I hope! We are competing at the Red Stegall Cowboy Gathering Chuckwagon competition. I don't actually do any of the cooking (that's my husband and his uncle's job) so I usually get bored anyway just sitting around. Our kids are old enough to run around themselves and have their little cousins to play with and watch over too so this will give me a "good excuse" to retire to the Airstream occasionally because "Tatum needs to rest"!
Any Ft. Worth people here that are planning to go to this thing this weekend? If so, come introduce yourselves!! We are the "Rocking T" chuckwagon and if we're in the same place as last year, we'll be the first one set up at the end. If I'm not there when you come by, just ask for "Tatums Mom"! My husband will be one of the cowboys doing the cooking.
