Spring Break

I apologize for not writing much about Keller and Hoover lately. I will post a quick note about Spring Break, and write more in detail later.

Keller and Hoover, along with our other two dogs, make the trek to Texas with my sister and I last week. As I had suspected, Keller and Hoover were great travellers in the car. For the trip up there, we set up their crate in the back of the car, so they would have plenty of room, and it was also a familiar place for Keller. We didn't hear much out of them the whole trip, just the occasional bark at the other when they played. Neither of them got carsick (thank goodness!), so that made for a more pleasant trip.

The week spent in Texas was great. Keller and Hoover fit right in with the other menagerie of dogs at our parent's house. Most of the day, while we were working in and around the house, Keller and Hoover stayed in their crate in the living room. They were pretty content there, being in the center of the action around the house. We would let them out to run around, and one sunny afternoon, we put together their pen on the patio where they could play in the sunshine. They enjoyed that.

The ride back went as smoothly as the ride up there. This time though, the car was too full to put their crate up in the back, so whoever wasn't driving was holding them in the passenger seat. They slept most of the way, and when they weren't sleeping, they played in the floorboard. Keller and Hoover are going to make great travellers, which is a necessity at our house! Keller adjusted just fine to wherever she was. Even being blind and deaf, she is not impaired in the least. She is just like a normal dog, and is able to live a healthy happy life!
