Trip Home Story

Okay well more settled in here at home so can recap trip home. Got to say was a blast coming home with Sis and Mom. We set out on Sunday morning extremely early, because I could not sleep. Sis had enough of sleeping with eyes open watching for the "critter" that was going to come out of the little hole in wall. Plus crack under door, lmao, she thought something was going to get her. So we set out. First day of travel was horrific in the miles that we drove. Drove from Deming to Dallas, TX thing we got into Dallas at 7 pm after leaving at 4 am. Lots of road covered that day. Well my sister we discovered goes "crazy" after about 4-5 hours sitting "still" in a vehicle. She did seat aerobics to music, lmao. Just had to see it. Try driving in pouring rain, tears rolling down your face from laughter and "holding" tinkle back. And she has no mercy, she kept on with the shenanigans and the laughter just kept on. Also we discovered Mom has "favorite" music, lol. Mr Garmin is a ding bat, he had us lost in Dallas looking for some road that there was no road sign for. Idiot!! But we made it to hotel.

Okies Day 2 we left Dallas and headed to Memphis, TN. Toured Graceland, awesome place. But that big old house of Elvis, is a small home in todays standards of stars. But bet it was a show place way back when. At hotel, the "pink" cadillac picked us up and took us to Marlowes. BBQ place that has been featured on Travel channel and other places. And yes Sis went nuts that day also. We had a little spat too that day, made travel not so good. Think we all were exhausted from trek home.

Day 3 we landed in Pigeon Forge, TN. We all love this place. Shopped some there. Had to drag my Sister into a Christmas shop, 2 of them to be exact, yeah right!! I love Pigeon Forge, wish had more time there. But we had a great time. Headed home that day and Sis once again went nuts. Mom "requested" her Fav songs several times that day. This is a joke between all of us. Mom is some what old fashioned and well she don't like up to date be bop music and that was what we was listening to. She was hilarious, trying to cover up her ears.

The only pitfall to my trip home was that I left part of my heart there in Deming, NM. You see my Fancy got left there. I had to, she was not a dog for me. I could not get her controlled because she likes lots of activity and with me working 12 hours a day it was just making her worse. The dog would shoot out of the cage and be crazed for at least an hour. Had her on Ritalin too, with no help. She was losing weight and I had doubled her food intake. She needs some where that she can run and definitely did not need any lengthy cage periods. I feel extremely bad about it and will cry often over it. I feel like I failed her in some way. But it is best for her. I left her with the Humane Society out there and they told me over and over that they would find her a good home. And all I can do is trust in that fact that she is fine. But did not want to bring her home here to Humane society and then every time I saw a black dog her size give myself whip lash trying to see if it was her. She will be fine I am sure. Trusting in God that He will provide for her.

Well that is about all. Right now I am awaiting assignment. No news yet on where I am off to. I really want to stay on East coast for a while. I missed my family a lot. And want to be able to explore this relationship with this new fellow. And no we didn't get to meet tonight as planned. His job kept him out of town. So we have rescheduled for Monday. Will keep ya posted on that. But for now a big good night. Donna
