Phred, Carl's nuts but not quite that nutty. He is not just going to see Brian but bring Christy and the kids back. They drove Brian's truck up to him so he'd have a means of transportation now that he is back. They don't have a "home" up there yet and may not for several more months. Since he is taking my SUV there really wouldn't be room for anyone but Tucker and he stays with me! Pippi would work except that when she rides in the car she thinks she should either sit on the driver's lap or jump all over. Tucker will lay on a blanket on the console between the front seats and be very good. But then Carl would still need to stop for potty breaks and he just isn't realy patient about that.

I (We) have missed the kids very much (and Christy too). The dogs look at me funny when I try to put them in Jasmine's bed and then try to read them a bedtime story - and boy do they howl when I start the singing. The girl had better hurry back before they dogs all run away.

The other times I look silly is when I am watching Blues Clues and the other shows on Noggin at night holding one of the dogs. The dogs look at me really funny when Joe asks where is the clue and I keep yelling, there! there! Dominic, hurry home, you are missing some great episodes.
