Boston Tea Party
Drove to Boston and back again today. My brother in law is receiving cancer treatment at the Leighe (sp?) clinic in Boston and has an appt. tomorrow morning. His wife was flying in to Logan airport this morning after visiting some of her family. So, the BIL had to get to Boston with a car this morning to meet his wife. My DH and BIL were in his car and I followed in my little matchbox car with my three dogs (2 goldens and a black lab ....Hoover, Ted, and Sally). We left at 10 am, were in Boston by 12:30 (with one stop to pee on the side of the road) and home by 3:30 with a stop for soft serve ice cream for me and my furry passengers.
I am the queen of multi-tasking today. Before I left I put in laundry and let is wash while we went to Boston. When we got home, I put it in the dryer. So, I still have a few hours left of my day to prepare for my next week. I have a good one planned.
I am going to the lake (upstate NY, 1 hour NW of Albany) with two of my good friends from Waterbury. It should be fun. We are leaving Tuesday morning and they are staying until Friday. Dave and I are staying until the following Sunday. We have lots of fun and sun, sleeping and napping, eating, and laughing planned. My parents won't be there until the Friday night my friends leave.. so it works out well.
My parents might be getting another dog already. Personally, I think its too soon. Their dog died about 5 weeks ago. It hasn't even been long enough for everone to find out that their dog of 9 years (Haley) had finally passed away from cancer. But, my parents have forged ahead and contacted an adoption agency and are going to see their potential dog tomorrow. I don't know if they're ready for a younger dog again. This dog is only 3 and described as "very enthusiastic". My parents are not exactly great at the follow-through, consistency, and routine part of dog training.
My parents had considered taking out third dog, the black lab, Sally. But, she is best described as neurotic/psychotic.... My parents would have never spent enough time controling her to make life with her enjoyable. Not fair to her or my parents or their guests who might not want a canine hovercraft floating at 5 feet off the ground constantly. I think my parents should have waited longer, and gotten an older dog. Oh well, my opinions only. We'll see how it goes.
