Cheech and Chong

It has been a hetic week!

Fi survived her surgery and is back to being her tireless self.  When Lu had her surgery she lived for two days in her crate, lying flat on her back.  Fi refused to lay or sit down.  She just stood, swaying back and forth.  She was one stoned puppy.  Eventually she would just drop and lay for about 30 minutes then she was back up again.  She was starting to remind me of Cheech.

CHEECH: It's Dave, man. Will you open up? I got the stuff with me.
CHONG: Who?
CHEECH: Dave, man. Open up.
CHONG: Dave?
CHEECH: Yeah, Dave.
CHONG: Dave's not here.
CHEECH: What the hell? No, man, I am Dave, man. Will you...
(More knocks)
CHEECH: C'mon! Open up the door, will you? I got the stuff with me, I think the cops saw me.
CHONG: Who is it?

Lu spent two nights with Scott so Fi could recuperate.

The good news is La Mesa will be able to fix the air conditioner this week.  The jacks will have to wait until we get back from Nevada.

We have spent so much time in Marana and Tucson that Lu forgot what grass is, of course Fi has never experienced it.  It was funny to see their reaction when they ran over it.  Both dogs just stopped dead in their tracks.  Both of them were straddle walking.  It took two trips to the patch of grass for both of them to figure out that grass is good......  Now I am starting to sound like Cheech.  Now when it is time for their walk they head straight to the patch of grass and they roll and scoot.  When I think no one is looking I turn Lu loose and she just runs zig zag and when she tires she puts her head on the patch of grass and just scoots.  It is bliss.

Our goal is to leave around Thursday and head north.  We will be back in Tucson the first of August because we have to catch a plan to Seatle Washington.  We will be picked up at the airport and whisked away to our cruise ship for our one week Alaskan cruise.  Since I will not drive this rig over mountains we just had to figure out another way to see Alaska.  Also in August we are going to take our yearly trip to Missouri.

Until later.
