Hey, Mom! How are you? We’ve been back from our vacation for a few days, but I’ve been too lazy to write. But there is so much to tell you, including a surprise at the end, so let’s jump right into it.
Ramsey almost missed out on the zoo. She had a terrible day right before we left where she purposely peed in her bed twice. I don’t think I’ve ever been so mad at her. But I got over it, and we salvaged the vacation. It was probably the best vacation we’ve had with her. We focused on what she wanted to do, and she didn’t have so many tantrums. Besides the zoo, the only thing she cared to do was swim in the pool at the camp ground. I didn’t get any pics of this as we stayed in the moment for the most part.
As for the zoo, Ramsey loved it. Her best experiences were when the gorilla ran in front of the viewing glass thumping its chest and when she got to feed the giraffes. It was a crazy humid day when we went. Cliff can’t walk distances anymore because of the Parkinson’s, so we rented a scooter for the week. I am so proud of Ramsey for not having a tantrum to ride it. When we got to the zoo, I explained to her that Daddy had a special chair for the zoo because his leg hurts. She was so concerned about Cliff’s leg. She offered him a bandaid to make it better. So sweet. But after that, she didn’t say one word about the scooter. She didn’t whine about walking. She was amazing. And here are the pics we took.
We decided to board Dandi for this trip. She’s still not quite ready for camping, so we took her to a boarder we’ve used for Tokie and Piper in the past. The kennel had a webcam so I could peek in on her. She was so sad while in the kennel. But we opted to let her do some puppy daycare so she could play with other dogs a couple of the days. She was so happy to see us when we went to get her. So many sloppy puppy kisses.
So, my trip is probably the least of the news. But it’s not my news, it’s Austin’s. Your little boy turned responsible man is getting married! He asked Chloe last night, and she said yes. They are planning a Halloween wedding. I wonder if he got that idea from you. Didn’t you and Dad marry on Halloween?
Well, it’s time for sleep. I miss you so much. I don’t think I’ve made it through a week without telling someone how much I miss you.
Hey, Mom! How are you?
