We are back!

Murphy had the best time of his life. He got to lay on the furniture, sleep on the bed, go in and out of the house when he pleased, pooped on the lawn, and ate more treats than meals. I think in this photo he knows it's almost over.



Sunny is, of course, always at his ease whether on the floor or in a chair, the only thing that matters to him is he has a ball.

The driving itself was our biggest concern, since Murphy gets carsick. Our doctor recommended trying Bonine, a motion sickness OTC medication that lasts 12 hours. It worked most excellently, and our trip down was uneventful.

My poor brother, I think I burned out his last road-trip bulb with my nervous passenger routine. I fully expect him to sell his car and turn in his license just so he never has to drive me anywhere again. Ha! We spent three days with our aunties in Modesto. Lest anyone think it was some kind of big family reunion, our family has a nasty habit of not speaking to each other - sometimes for good reason, sometimes not so good - so it was pretty quiet, with a few hours here, a few hours there. The aunt we stayed with has two little dogs herself, and her terrier thought Sunny was great fun, although she couldn't quite figure out growly little Murphy. No blood was drawn though, so all in all it was a success.

Weather was outstanding.

In glandular news, I finally am starting to have some energy again. It remains to be seen if it will be stable, but for now I'm just glad to have the get-up to do a little cleaning around here. This place is not tidy, to say the least. Spring cleaning, three months late, and that's not to mention the yard. *gulp*

But as things get back to normal, I'll get to it, the list is long, but I'll get to it.
