Sunday, yesterday, was Lindsey's graduation party down in towards the city. Sharon and Ida joined us because they were by themselves. Gracie came along because we'd be gone too long. The trip is a little over three hours there and back - 190 miles each way. We set up a "hotel room" in the back for her - with her car carrier, her sleeping cage, a puppy pad, toys, food. Everything a pup could want. Sharon and Ida settled in the seats behind the front seats. Gracie hated the idea of separation and ended up squeezing through the side of the puppy barrier Paul put up, and spent part of the time in Sharon's lap and the rest in mine.
Susie (Lindsey's mom), has a beautiful home out in the country that looks like a small stone cottage from the front. Note the pictures. But - it has four bedrooms - two up and two down. If you go around back, you can see how much bigger the house is than it looks from the front. We didn't get a picture of the back, though. But we did get pictures of the inground pool in the back. Note Ida and how she's grown! Teenagers, young kids and their parents settled there. It was very sunny. BUT I couldn't stay there because it was too hot.
The front had nice huge shade trees and cool breezes, which is where the dogs settled, plus their owners, and several others of us. Dog: Two Bernase Mountain Dogs. Plus Gracie made three. Gail and Arthur (Lue's daughter and son-in-law from a suburb of Boston) brought Brady who is a 6 year old male, and HUGE. This is their fourth or sixth bernase. And Greta came with Lue. This is her second or third bernase. They're kinda related. . . like Gracie and Bode are. Same breeder, different litters. When you put Brady next to Gracie. Oh, my.
Susie had a house-full. There were people in the back around tables by the pool, people in the house, and people out front under the trees. I am getting to know people, and can now relate people to people, and am beginning to remembering names.
