Well, 48 hours and 1620-ish miles later, and we're back in Utah. Lucy went on her first official road trip with us to pick up Cheri this weekend. We left in the early hours on Sunday, drove all day, and got into Oceanside in the evening. Shaun and I spent the night in the hotel playing with Lucy and doing homework/grading.

Monday morning was the first day of Team Training, so the Puppy Program manager asked us to come around 10:00/10:30 to pick up Cheri and Donnelly (whom we were also brining back to Utah). By the time we hit the road after loading up three dogs, one kennel, two humans, snacks, and other supplies, it was about 11:30. Each pit stop along the way took extra long since we had three dogs to walk, toilet, and feed. We rolled into Logan around 12:45 last night, but made it safe, sound, and sleepy!

Despite the grueling two days of kennel and car time-Lucy was great. She rarely whined, toileted on all kinds of surfaces, and was happy at the hotel and CCI. She's now super excited to have a new friend and is trying out her vocal skills by attention barking at Cheri (of course, she's also now learning that barking without a command is an inappropriate behavior!).

Wow, two dogs, one puppy, two humans, and treats . . . I really wish I could have been there to see the car (but really glad I didn't have to endure those hours . . . bless your hearts, I can't imagine how tired you are).
ReplyDeleteWelcome home Cheri! Good job Lucy!
