New Year- New Direction.................
August 29, 2008-
they went to "get some chicken"!!! They always say that whenever they go out without me! Like they don't know that I know how much chicken I eat!! No way I eat as much as they say I do-why don't they just tell the truth! And the truth is that we are gonna be OUTTA here real soon.
I remember the last time-it begins with the boxes then the plastic boxes-stuff starts disappearing, then people I haven't seen in awhile, start coming over and they leave with their arms full. Carol always smiles and says she "feels lighter all ready". Then-one day the trucks arrive and I get ignored for what seems to be a long time -then all of a sudden-one night we are sleeping somewhere strange and the night noises are alot different. The flurry of activity winds down and we are in the car driving FOREVER and the ground is foreign at every stop, always the ever-present biting monsters, pouncing on my feet with fangs drawn!! Luckily, Carol soaks my paws in warm soda water every night and sprays them with benadryl.
This newest trip is in it's 3rd day. When we left, the whole area seemed to be caught up in a "fight or flight" mode and as we approached Oklahoma City, our swift pace became a crawl as many people from south of Dallas drove as far as they could to avoid a large storm. We finally arrived at the motel in Ponca City and sleep came quickly. (I don't know what they did-I got fed-savored a biscuit-fluffed up my quilt-then LIGHTS OUT).
The last two days were kind of foggy as I slept most the time-I just can't resist that benadryl!
What I do know is that the wind was howling and Barney had such a grip on the wheel that I couldn't get an ear scratch for anything!!! Carol always looks out the side window on those days!
We are near Mount Rushmore tonight-something about "large rocks with faces on them-sounds like Barney's cup of tea!!! They finally were able to get this laptop to work-Motel 8"s free high speed, has been a little inconsistant-supposed to dip below freezing tonight-Great! how I love to pee on frosted grass and watch it steam up!!
Well, here comes Carol with my freshly laundried quilt-think I'll say "Good Day" and call it Sunday!! We are headed for Montana -by way of Wyoming tomorrow!!

Man! How great it has been to be home-basking in the sunshine-actually just "my life-as-usual"!
Of course Carol is busy, busy, busy!!! and of course, BW is back to work-(I don't know what work is or what he does all day-but I am ALWAYS glad when he returns and I let him know it too!).
Yesterday, Carol cleaned out her old desk and put it outside and someone pulled up and took it away!! She has all these boxes full of stuff all ready to "go to goodwill", I guess they need it more than she does. The buzz is still about selling the house-about getting a motorhome-about retiring-about Portland-about everything but laying around, basking in the sunshine-THAT'S what I am all about!!!
So, I will add my two bits- ATTENTION: HOUSE FOR SALE in SPRINGTOWN, TEXAS 76082
please call 817-220-0105 for details.
and I'll add a few pictures for intrigue!!!
So, until next time
may the sun always shine enough for basking!!
Jackson-sun dog!!!

January 4, 2008-
Man this year has really taken off!! (still don't know what a "year" is but what I do know is that mealtime seems to come around quicker these days!!)
We have all recovered from the 10 hour ride home-I slept most of the way, so of course it seemed quick!! When I was awake, all Barney and Carol could talk about was the possibility of living and working in Big Bend-there is still much to consider but fantasy-worthy material never the less!! I know I would fit in-everyone just loved me!! and considering my grass allergy-pooping on rocks is something I could really get used to!! Maybe I could eventually find that fox!
I appreciate every one's continued interest in my blog-knowing you enjoy it gives me constant energy for the effort-but now that we are home, my energy will be directed towards chasing birds, intimidating cats and chasing my "EDDIE"-and of course sleeping a great deal in every spot of sun I can find!!
I am including a few parting shots of the sunrise on the Chisos right before we left-and a few more shots you might enjoy!!
Big Bend is a big and beautiful place-do try to visit-HEY-when we move here, you will have even more reason to come!!!!
