Started making lunch and dinner for today's trip to Charlotte. We pushed off by 10:00 am YES we left that early, interesting things happen when you wake up at 5:30 am. We were both FREEZING, had the heated seats on the entire time. We both wanted a coffee really bad, not due to cravings, but habit - road trip = coffee, corn nuts, Kentucky Fried chicken (me) and Taco Bell (Chet). The only time we eat fast food is when we are on the road. Need to change that habit. I drank all my water all day even though we were on the road. Stopped at a rest stop to pee and pushed through getting anything for a snack. I think we stopped 3 times on the way down, and 3 times back. I was going to try and not smoke on the trip, but.. not so much.. I did limit the number of cigs I had.
We both got emotional when we walked into the Kennel Club with all of the beautiful English Labs.. We found the breeders and got to spend some time with some of their dogs. Joe is the dad for many of the girls, and we got so meet one of their hopefuls. She was a 6 months old and just so beautiful and well behaved. I wanted to bring her home with us, she was so perfect. We can't remember her name but we got her picture. We can't wait to get Andromeda (Andy).. The outlook is the June time frame, but there is a VERY VERY small chance that if they do not decide to keep one to breed, they may have one from the January litter. Fingers crossed as that is a better time for us, but if not we are at the top of the list.
This is Joe - The Dad for many of the puppies.
This is the 6 month old Girl.. She won one of the puppy trials (best female in class). She is so freaking beautiful I want to bring her home..
We had such a great time seeing the dogs. As we were leaving we saw a young Black Lab and I just had to pet and play with him. He was so energetic, he gave both Chet and me a huge bear hug. We miss our pups, but excited to get Andy. What we will not miss.... not having the dog hair everywhere.. But it will be worth it once we get her.
When we arrived at IKEA, we sat in the car and ate our snack. We walked all over IKEA for over 3 hours and made it through without getting any snacks, but we wanted some. Got the cabinets for the laundry closet, and a cool glass top desk so I can finally stop using the Kitchen island as an office. Will help with snacking and we can get our island back.
My knee and feet were sore after all the walking, and I'm annoyed that the LINK doesn't track if you push a cart.. GRRR.. I really wanted a NSAID, but we are in the final days and need to push through (give that liver a break). It was also hard driving back 3 hrs with my knee all cramped. Chet buffed it out when we got home and I did my stretches to help relieve the pain and the stiffness.
