It's 9am and we haven't gotten in the truck and driven anywhere yet
T's getting some quality jolly ball time in this morning.
My car is in Mobile - was very nice to be back in my car again - especially with no dog hair in it... just nasty grease/dirt/crap that wasn't there when I dropped it off and a few more scratches and dings... Oh well - I can clean it again and we'll deal with the new dings/scratches later. Was just nice to drive my car again.
Hopefully we'll know more about the house today. We stopped by yesterday to let the dogs run around and check out the house - they approved.

Dallas, TX to New Orleans, LA today. Pick up my car in the morning and drop it off in Mobile and on to see Jeff's mom.
Was a bit of a hellish day today.
Guess you don't want to stay in Dallas with NY plates if the Yankees beat the Rangers - it lands you a trip to the garage... on a Sunday am... when garages are not open... to find out some dumbass loosened your lug nuts on your front wheels during the night to the point the guys at the garage could take them off with their fingers, with the exception of one.
And La Quinta is apparently not all pet friendly. The one I had booked tonight had breed restrictions (Tavarish not welcome) and their pet rooms are smoking rooms only. We are now next door at Motel 6.

In Dallas tonight. Had dinner with Beth/kamsmom and her youngest daughter.

MPG varies on terrain, wind, altitude, fuel quality, etc.
Number of times you have to stop for animals in the road....

Absolutely no interest in the Billy the Kid museum. This trip is pretty much get in the truck in the morning and drive until we need gas or want to swap drivers or the dogs need a break, get back in, repeat.

Payback
I had to move him since he is just way too heavy to sit on Ryan like that.
taken shortly before getting to the hotel this afternoon
-
Short day just because after 6 days of long days, we all need a break.
Flagstaff, AZ to Santa Rosa, NM today

Idaho - snow, no snow

T riding in T fashion

Idaho Falls, ID to Flagstaff, AZ today

disabled snow plow
Our line of vehicles waiting to go - some stuck where they are
notice the snow plow on the north bound side of the road... going south lol
Some FedEx truck/trailers causing issues...
sucks to be this guy
a bunch of people waiting down near the border to get on the north bound road when it opens (it wasn't opened yet when we went past going South)
The line waiting to cross the border into Canada (the truck lane leaving Canada was just as long) - roads were great in MT by the time we got there
somewhere in Montana

Didn't make it to Salt Lake City as we had hoped today due to that spring blizzard in Alberta.
90 mins to get about 40 miles. Then we sat, on the highway for ~4.5 hours. There were ~15 semis, plows, graders, private vehicles stuck somewhere on the road preventing the rest of us from passing.
After we were on the road this morning, they closed it from a point behind us to a point in front of us, then extended it to the border - due to the mess that was out there of stuck plows and graders and other stuff. That's why we sat... they were digging out the stuck people. Once we hit the border, we made good time again, but no way we were making it to SLC in a reasonable time, so we are here in Idaho Falls, ID for the night.

Sorry thought you were going through California, well then driving in the first "city" with traffic may be a culture shock to the system after so long in Alaska.
We drove through Edmonton and then Calgary at rush hour last night - hit city traffic already.
-
~2500 miles of driving since 10 April. Point E is where we are tonight, 13 April.
-
Amazing sights you are seeing and just glad Trudy isn't driving because sure enough a beefalo or moosen or something might run into your truck
Hurry up and get down to the South. Weather is beautiful
I was driving for the herds of caribou, the herd of buffalo and the moose IN the road
Weather can't be worse than it is tonight. We are on the edge of a blizzard - made for slow going for the last 90 miles.
-
2 themes today...
Caribou and crazy dogs
The caribou - not good for time or gas mileage when you have to keep stopping to let a caribou or two or three or a herd of 20 get out of the road
Crazy dogs and their thoughts for the day
(this was NOT staged lol)
Yes - he rode like that for quite a while
-
Some friends hanging around while we departed Kodiak...
Some last Kodiak eagle pics...
Kodiak in the rear view mirror
Pulling into Homer, AK this morning on the ferry
The first moose I've seen in AK - they DO exist
This one was on our way out of Homer
-
You go for miles without any signs of human habitation
That was pretty much our entire trip up through Canada and we weren't expecting much different on the way back other than Edmonton.

Why add the KBr if the Pb was working fine?
Ryan wasn't getting the control on Pb alone after a couple of years and we had to increase the dose so much he was having side effects from that, so we added KBr to help control his seizures instead of continuing to increase his Pb. He was drunk for a month.
We've since been able to reduce him on everything, but will up him again for our trip out of here.
-
Ryan took a very long time to adjust to the KBr when we added it. Poor boy was always falling into something or just not steady and just not with it. Poor boy was drunk for a month!

So somebody doesn't like Dr Dodds. So what. Move on.

He gained some weight while eating just chicken and rice for a while? And his poops were good?
And all that changed again when you went back to a food suggested by the old vet??
To me, that doesn't sound like a pancreatic issue, but a food issue. If he can do well on chicken and rice then he's absorbing what he needs - or at least absorbing something.
Good luck with the new vet.

I've never had an issue with my dogs walking into a new house and 'claiming' it. They've been in plenty.
Though Jet did pee on Liz's new rug once....
In a month we will be living in an empty house for a week before we hit the road south. Then living in an empty house there until the stuff arrives. They'll have a few toys, their beds, food, bowls, etc - and they'll be fine.

Where were you clicking donate? I've tried and no where does it ask me for an email address.

Nope. Not after he's done with Attu. He'll have the option to on his own, but boats for his rate/rank usually go to the new guys making Warrant.
