"On the road again" tomorrow, if all goes according to "Plan". Leaving here mid-day and heading thru Orlando to pick up the afore-mentioned trtactor and then we just keep heading for the Nawth. :) The little truck camper is as ready as it's gonna be, the shiny green trailer is attached to the truck, people came and carted off our little freezer, our campfire pit and anything else 'steal-able'--so that we'll be able to find them when we get back! LOL! I was thinking about my old station wagon yesterday....wouldn't it be a hoot to put a "Free Car" sign in the window, a signed title on the front seat, park it next to the road and see what happens? LOL! I wonder how long it would take before anyone actually stopped? And how much longer before someone actually got in and drove it away? LOL! Think of the photo ops! Or, maybe leave it in a parking lot all day and watch.... :) If I didn't already know 2 different people who could really use it and would like to have it for free, I'd do it!!!
Today is the day for packing up the little "Box" and getting it ready to pull to the dealership when we get back to Florida--so we can have our NEW HOME! :) This involves the usual, mundane things, like defrosting the fridge, shampoo-ing the carpet, putting away the the loose things.... When we get it to the dealership, they will direct us to our new unit, park the old one next to it, and we'll have to transfer our "stuff" and say goodbye to our little winter home. And goodbye to tripping over our own feet trying to navigate amongst our pack of puppies and turn sideways to get into and out of the bathroom!!! LOL!
We've come up against an unexpected annoyance in the midst of all this organized chaos. Kizzee, the 'high-strung' rat terrier, has freeked out. Totally gone nutso on us. Terrified we're going to leave her, I guess. At first I thought she was being vindictive by soaking our bed when we leave them alone for any length of time, but all the experts claim there is no such thing as a vindictive dog??? Which leaves us with "hysterical" behaviour. The second time she soaked our down comforter, featherbed and sheets, I was pretty sure I could wring her skinny little neck, but I guess the thing to do is haul her to the vet today and get some anti-anxiety meds.... Tried the herbal stuff, and got no visible results already. *sigh* I know she'll be calmer once we're on the road--she understands that, and travels well. Molly B is staying here with our friends--becasue she is content wherever she is, if there is food, a place to run and someone to pat her head and tell her she's wonderful. :) The scruffy little puppy is the unknown, but he rides well in the car, so he's going along--since he cries a lot when we leave him behind. We really wanted to be able to farm the lot of them out while we make this run, but kennels suck and there's only so much we'll ask our friends to do!!! LOL!
And now, with no further adieu, I'm off to commence to begin...
