Ready, set, go!

Tomorrow is the targeted date of departure. Today is mega laundry, packing and cleaning day. Tim and the boys are working, finishing up a couple of jobs before we hit the road. Christina and I will man the home front. Today we take Raven over to some good friends who are thinking about getting a dog. Raven will be their trial pet. I hope he is on his best behavior. He is a pretty easy dog--he doesn't chew or make messes. We had him groomed last week, so his shedding is under pretty good control. And he was at the vet Saturday--no parasites, Lyme's disease or ticks. We were instructed to brush his teeth more regularly, or else pay $400 for their dental cleaning procedure, which includes x-rays of internal organs before he is given general anesthesia, and then antibiotics for bacteria that would get stirred up during the procedure.

I think we'll go the tooth brushing route. Good-bye Ravey, we'll miss you! Be good and we'll tell you all about Cornerstone when we get back.

Till next time,


Suzi
