November 11, 2011 The Beaver Moon

the return from Thanksgiving

Included in  all things that I am thankful for,  is my herd of non-farm animals consisting of three dogs and two cats. We drive to Llano Largo with these somewhat compatible creatures captured in the back of the  4Runner. Last evening was the epitome of patience for everyone. This time it wasn't merely Archibauld, my 6 year old kitty getting carsick loudly in his carrier. No,  this was WAY worse. This time it was Ike, 80 lb retriver mix. He started pawing at the windows and back door wanting to get out. We were on I-25 and it was not a good time! Next thing I saw was him squatting in the back....eeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww  IKEY!!

Yep, he pooped right in the back, right there in the midst of the herd, the luggage, the leftover groceries, yep. It was about 6 miles before we pulled over and took a look. Poor Ike. We love him so! We just gingerly cleaned it up and headed on home. That's love. Yes indeed.
