Road Trip

Julie, the Circus K9 Smooths, and Julie's 16 yr old Geena begging.

Silly Mimi in Nashville.

We made it to Virginia at last. I left Jack with my friend Julie in Nashville but Dyna, Mimi, Harry, and Bhumi the cat made the entire trip.

Bhumi did great, all things considered. Two nights in hotels (La Quinta, of course), two nights at Julie's, hauling litter box and crate and other cat gear around. He only started to protest in his crate in the car on the last day. I was pretty tired of traveling at that point too! He's not yet settled in here at my mother's but he knows where his food, litter box, and water are, so we have decided to leave him alone and let him sort it out for himself.

I didn't particularly hurry because I was hauling a small trailer. And I thought it cruel to leave Bhumi in his crate in the car for more than about 7 hours each day. The dogs got plenty of breaks at rest areas. The weather was excellent and taking lots of small breaks was good for me too. Even at that leisurely pace, we covered 1400 miles in about four days of driving.
