Unplanned trip to Utah

Went to accompany dad to his first oncologist visit. It was very interesting, and I am glad I was able to be there to provide support.

Sock

This little guy, who we call Sock, is a current foster. Reminds me a lot of Chubs, and is kind of filling in the Chubs void. He is a catahoula leopard pup. Not as loud mouth as Chubs though.

Surprise Visit!

Beth, Carol, Ellen, and Moana at the I-70 GJ dog park. They also visited my home on the way back from Colorado Springs. They were on their way to visit Diane. I always enjoy visiting and catching up. Moana and I were pretty good friends in high school, and it is always the same whenever we see each other. I saw Carol 3 times in about 4 weeks, a record!

Totaled!

Gary was hit by a drunk driver while stopped on a 45-mile-per-hour road because there was a huge mattress in his lane. He checked his mirrors, put on the hazards, cautiously tried to step out and move the mattress from traffic, when he saw a vehicle coming up from behind him, very fast, estimated 60 miles per hour. He got back inside the Subaru and braced himself.

She saw him at the last second and swerved. A poor doggie was in the back of the Subaru, but was saved by being inside a metal crate, so no one was really hurt, but the 3 dogs in the car were frazzled and some whiplash was had by all.

The woman who hit Gary got out of her car screaming (and barefoot) why were you stopped, etc? She was arrested by police for DUI.

Fortunately, the vehicle she was driving had insurance, so their insurance is paying for it all. No hassles as far as that goes. The first thought that entered my head when I heard of the accident, is "good, we need a new vehicle." I was planning on trading in the Subaru this summer.

This is the rental car. New car still to come.

Me and Mamma.

Pretty new car.

Looking for Chubs in all the wrong places

This is the last place I saw Chubs, January 5, 2011. I have not wanted to post about this, just hoping we would find him/he would return. It has just been too painful to blog about.I (we) miss him so much! I (we) miss him so much!
