We have Arrived

Heddy got to sleep in bed her first night not sleeping in a crate it took her a LONG time to settle down but once she did she was OUT. I may have made a mistake here.

We got up around 5:30 and got moving we were packed and on the road by 7 AM. Once again Heddy sacked right out in her Crate. What a great traveler. Made great time and arrived in NC at the Mountain Inn by 1:00 PM a total Road time of almost 12 hours.  After unpacking we went out to explore the Show grounds and to give Heddy a little outside time. Had a nice walk ran into Carol and Cheddar and met lots of other folks and Borders. I think Heddy’s Head is spinning with all the doggie smells and sights. She is not about to listen to ANYTHING I have to say to her.

After our walk we came back to the room and Heddy discovered the Goodie Bag. I waked in just as she was finishing off the dog treats.

So from now on when I leave the room she will be staying HERE!

Well off to bed we learn about Earthdog tomorrow!

Hotels Are STRANGE

I think Heddy’s first night in a Hotel may be a very long night. Between all the strange smells and sounds she is having a very rough time settling down.  I am very nervous about her barking so I am also not able to relax very much.

Our Drive here went well. took about 4 1/2 hours Heddy slept for most of it. We stopped for on nice long play/potty break. And to see the Sunset.

Tomorrow we will be back on the road BRIGHT and EARLY.

For now Good Night I hope!

National Specialty Road Trip Day 1

How is it possible that one person and ONE 7 month old Border Terrier could NEED SO MUCH STUFF for just 5 Days away. The car is PACKED and I do mean Packed. thank GOD I am only taking ONE DOG and NO ONE else needs to ride with me. I am not sure where they would sit.

 I have decided to split the trip into two parts . So as soon as I get my work done and I load Heddy into her Crate we will head for Emporia, VA for tonight that will be about 5 Hours then all we will have is another 5 hours in the morning. Maybe we will actually get there in time to see some of the tracking. We have never seen that. Oh what Am I talking About. WE have NEVER seen any of it. ARE WE THERE YET...........
Can you FEEL the excitement.
I have been reading Colin's Blogs to Heddy ( He is already there) Trying to get her ready for what lies ahead.

Well I guess if I ever plan to get on the road I had better finish working.
