Home Again? :(

What we didn't post yesterday was that we made a decision that we couldn't do this trip with our dogs. They just didn't take to camping and made our lives miserable. To go on with them is just not an option as we'd probably end up pitching them out on the roadside or divorcing or worst - kill each other. So, we started Saturday looking into some folks who may have been interested in staying at our house and keeping them. We made some phone calls and waited for some answers. We drove home yesterday (Sunday) hoping we would have an answer by the time we got home. We did hear from one who turned the offer down and was waiting on someone else. Anyway, we had a safe trip back, the dogs are extremely happy to be home and we did have a great night's sleep. Today (Monday) we heard from the second person who also turned the offer down. We called someone new that knows multiple people who care for dogs and heard back a little while ago. One can't because of their hours of work, one wants to but can't start until July 12 and one could keep them from July 4th until the 12th leaving us to find someone from now until July 4th. I'm exhausted just writing about it so not sure if we can work this all out. It's ironic because I have
said from the first day we bought the camper that I felt like forces were working to keep us home as I wanted to leave three weeks after we bought it and we didn't leave until almost double that time. So, our trip may be over before we get started good but I certainly hope not. I will start again tomorrow trying to find a dog sitter but we have pretty much decided that if we don't find one by the weekend that we're calling the trip off so this may end up a very short blog - only time will tell. One very positive out of all this is that tonight Matt & Amy had us for dinner and we brought Wyatt back home with us to spend the night. We have missed the little dickens but we were also very much looking forward to seeing our first born, Ethan, our second born, Linus, our third born, Campbell and our fifth born, Zuzu. Somehow, we will see them all this year!!!

Our next blog won't be until a decision is final one way or the other. So,

Until next time. . .
