OOH! i AM getting a new doggy for the summer. Its all extremely short notice but I am leaving tomorrow from the SF Bay Area to go to Salem, Oregon to pick up the dog. Its about a 10 hour 650 mile drive (the mountains at the CA, OR border slow things down) one way. I'm going to pick up the dog sunday around 1pm and then head back that day cause I have school monday morning. I'll be travelling about 1,300 miles in about 36-40 hours. The dog is a really sweet collie mix. I'll be sure to post pics of the new addition. YAY!
