Just got off the phone with Phred myself! He was taking a potty walk with Bowser, talking to Bowser and to me at the same time. Sometimes he would say "STOP THAT" I went "WHAT?" (thought he was talking to me for a sec)He was just telling Bowser to stop pulling on the leash They were just outside of Washington PA - just South-ish and a bit west of Pittsburgh. As Zip said, he expects to be home-sweet-home about 11pm or so. Mokey & Cinder are having a sleep-over at Unka Pat's (I think its Unka Pat) so Phred's just going to find a safe, warm spot for the visitor at Phreds. He's sure to be tired out (both of them no doubt) and deal with tomorrow, tomorrow (sounding a bit like Scarlett O'Hara there). He said Bowser is a sweet, friendly mutt and except for "stinkin' like a barnyard" doesn't seem to have bad mats or skin probs. Phred said he could, and of course would, manage at least for the next few days with the status quo. Just as we signed off, OH JOY, OH RAPTURE, Bowser did a #2 right before they went back to the moving machine!! Both of us yelled "GUD DOG"!! Now, on to the next chapter. The journey has just begun I'm thinking. And boy, are there some phunny stories about Adventures in West-by-doG-Virginney! Later all... keep the good thoughts!
