Amazing adventures. We started with a flight to Calgary, from there to San Francisco, from there to San Diego. We had LONG layovers, which Stitch took in stride. She’s not quite as good at peeing on cue as I was thinking – have to work on that. Is my life to be just one long list of things I have to work on? Once we got there, she settled right in at a friend’s house.

Scuba and I went away for two weekends. The first weekend was Kamloops. Scuba did a good job but was tired when we got home. The second weekend was Calgary – a short flight, then staying at my brother’s for two days before the seminar. This is easy time for Scuba, playing gently with the kids, mostly sleeping toes-up on the couch.

In case I wasn’t paying attention to Stitch’s regular caloric intake last weekend, we have a horrific trip involving airplanes, lost luggage, missed connections, and an unexpected overnight in a hotel. Stitch performs brilliantly. Her gaiting is correct, her leash is loose, her attention to other people is minimal (she does find the loudspeaker at the airport interesting).
