Mini-Move

After living in Brimley for 3 months, getting ready to leave is like a minature version of moving again. I've had several shelter projects in the works, and have been trying to wrap them up. Roy has been doing some major camper projects, and is trying to get them to a stopping point. I have projects I had hoped to do at June and Earl's home that I'm sorry I won't get to. We extended our stay from the 25th to the 29th to fit in a bit more. We are sticking to our original travel plans except for having to condense our travel time. My goal on the road is to become Facebook literate so that we can all stay in touch.

Plans

Fall is in the air and it's time to move on. It's been a great Summer with our friends, and we'll be sad to leave. Our plans are to leave Brimley August 25th and head west on M-28. We would like to take-in Oswald's Bear Ranch, and the Nature's Kennel Iditarod Sled Dogs Tour before leaving Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Once we've visited these attractions, we'll take a week getting to Louisville, Kentucky for my niece's wedding on September 3rd. At present, we are thinking we will stay in Corydon, Indiana during the month of September.

New Family Member!

Look who's come to live in the cat cave! I couldn't leave my little wheelchair kitty behind. We've named him Otis. I told Roy it wasn't logical adding one more pet to our camper, but that I just had to see the end of the story for this kitty. The end of the story for Otis is that he will have a very pampered life on the road with us! He has two big dogs, a male cat, and the two of us wrapped around his little paws!

He is doing great getting around the camper without his wheelchair. He uses the walls to walk along, but sometimes practices walking without support. We've made some modifications to make life easier for him, and Charles is teaching him to wrestle. Otis is a quick study and they are having great fun. Charles is finding having a cat friend to play cat games with is much more enjoyable then harassing the dogs. We'll be posting videos of his progress.


Isn't he a cute stripey boy! He's quite the lesson in determination.
