Bye Bye California!!

Yup, I also got an email from Gina - she said Crayola LOOOOOOOVES the snow! Made his first doggie snow angel, chased snowballs, etc. He'll do just fine in their final upstate NY destination!

They're in Wyoming for the night, and promise to check back in when they can. I am glad that while she SAW the truck tip over, she wasn't in the accident. Her luck's already improving, and I bet she'll drive more carefully having seen that.

Wow Gina, what a huge adventure!! You are very couragious for doing this, in the middle of the winter

. Please be careful, other people can drive rather reckless on snow....

!
Take care, dear friend!!!

Just got an e-mail from Gina! She is on her way to the Denver Zoo it is open and I guess only about an hour away from the I-80 highway she is traveling. She said she will e-mail me and update Pet Talk after her visit at the zoo as long as she has coverage.

She is having a very snowy travel, but she seems to be enjoying it as is Crayola! Either she will update or I will when I hear more.

I got an e-mail that her fever is down and gone. Drank lots of green tea. Just going in to the zoo.

**furrykidsmother** · 12-18-2005, 05:15 PM

Haven't heard anything more from Gina since my last post, so I guess her pager may not have coverage.

Gina, I hope you enjoyed the Zoo and that all is well!

thank you furry, karen & corinna - am glad to be back in coverage.

as well as of crayola playing in the snow, too! he loooveees it! he waits for me throwing the snowball and have it sploosh on his face, going into 'bowing' position with happy waaggging tail!

I'm so thrilled, he's too cute!

Yay, glad to hear you made it safe & sound.

When you get all settled in & relaxed let me know, we can meet up somewhere sometime. I live on the Fairport/Macedon border so I'm only about 10 miles from Rochester.

**moosmom** · 12-18-2005, 06:45 PM

Considered yourself invited!

**sandragonfly** · 12-19-2005, 12:49 AM

heya, I'm in middle of nowhere, usa! (grand island) -just about half way finished .. it says the total, 2777 miles, split into two.. = 1388. I have about 1700 miles now but wouldn't count the last 200-300, didn't included denver ZOO. anyhoo, just about half way!

here, nebraska corns - my new best friend..

I just got more catlitter, everyone did their jobs beautifully.

oh, clayton tried to get out of car.

just after I took him out to pose with me by nebraska welcome sign.

I don't think I can tell difference between this sneaky snowy-fluffy & snow!

yay, I have so much pictures, can't wait to share denver shots - when I got there, I assumed there won't be much of animals out but, a lot were! except okapis, tapirs, & mishmis.

most of africasava animals were there.

hmmm, what's in iowa.. illinois.. michigan.. ohio? maybe somewhere I should stop by and see?

sleepy head here, beddy time - next time you hear will be from the (lucky) iowa girl.

**furrykidsmother** · 12-19-2005, 08:08 AM

You are having quite the adventure. So happy to hear you enjoyed the Zoo and that there were still many animals to see. Well, keep us updated and be careful! 1/2 way here, WOW! You are really doing well with your traveling. Hope you haven't hit any more big snowstorms!

Hope to hear more from you soon!

Going through Ohio, if you are staying on I-80, you can hit the Christmas lights at the Toledo Zoo, Toft's dairy in Sandusky for some yummy ice cream, or the Rock n' Roll hall of fame in Cleveland. 80 is a toll road in Ohio though, and I think it is between $5 and $10 to cross the state on it.
