My parents used to do that when they went to Las Vegas, NV. It was a
6-7 hour drive from Phoenix, dog went everywhere with them. Dog spent
the night at the kennel, spent the day with them. Precursor to
doggie daycare!

Our dog (actually, he owns us but don't tell anyone) goes to Doggie
Daycare Bed and Breakfast when we travel. He gets to play for 4 hours
in the AM, a meal at noon and then, at 2:00, 4 more hours until the next
meal at 6:00. They separate the dogs into two groups. One group for
smaller dogs and dogs that play nice... the other group is for bigger
dogs and dogs that roughhouse a lot.

We left our guy there for 4 days last Fall and, when we picked him up,
he slept solid for the next two days. They said he ate vigorously,
loved to chase and be chased and, in general, had a romping good time.

Quite frankly, I don't give a hairy rat's ass what you think. And to hell
with what Jim and Gail want. Jay is going to miss a forum that he likes.
Isn't that just too frikkin' bad? It's not what Jim and Gail have decided
to do, it's that Jay (the center of the known universe) will be
inconvenienced.

Well, Jim, I'm sorry if that's the way you feel. Clearly there's more
going on here than we know, and I hope it all works out for you and
Gail.

I haven't had a summer to myself in 34 years, I haven't been to a summer
airshow in California in too long to remember because it has always been
Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Oshkosh. Well, dammit, it's time to stop and smell the
roses ... and I am.


2006 will be my 4th OSH. That *is* stopping and smelling the Jet-A for me (6
or 7 hr drive over from the Twin Cities).

For me, it's not a show but more like a week at the lake. Hang out, relax,
enjoy, sit, drink, relax, eat, walk around, drive home on Sunday - or
whenever. Maybe you could knock off doing the forum (and all prep) and just
enjoy the show this year - maybe leave Thursday morning? Just a thought. On
the flip side I know what you mean about - let's try something different
....for once!

This year, for me, will be two scheduled days at the flight line, in a white
plastic chair, for oh ...about 6 hours each day - starting early in the
morning. I'll walk around during the airshow.

Always wanted to do that - this year I will.

So that's it, is it Jay? Just potty train her and let the little *******
fend for herself for two weeks while we're (for her 6 month old mind) gone
forever? Or stuff her in some kennel where if she's lucky they'll take her
for a walk once a day?

I'm available for dog-sitting. And by then, I'll have my new puppy and
will be potyt-training also. It might be nice to have "a big sibling"
to show how it's done!

Doggie door to the backyard, too. And rides in the car to the pet store!
And trips to the fenced in handball court at the school to play catch
*very safely*, since they can't get out.

All you have to do is get puppy to Denver. I'm not going to OSH this
year on general principles. Hate camping, lost all interest in the
dorms (after 4 years of it), can't get a decent hotel room.

Jim,

Especially, the stuff about the Rainbow Bridge. I hope you feel better
soon.

Sorry, Jay, there is more to life than cold aluminum airframes

Yeah, there's composites too!

Seriously though, you have my deepest sympathy. I was not a dog person
until we found this guy at the pound:

He's still with us, but he's starting to slow down and I just know he's
going to break my heart some day.

He'll never break your heart, the circumstance will.

Gorgeous animal...have him tested for thyroid. I've seen more dogs perk up
when they get the thyroid working correctly than anything else.

His problem is arthritis, plus a congenital defect (he's missing one of
his hip joints, though that actually doesn't slow him down much). He's
on meds and they do help. But he's ten years old now, so he's not a
puppy any more. The days of ten mile hikes are over. But he still
bounces (literally!) when he knows it's time for dinner.
