The Princess and the Pea

It always baffles me how you can leave for a trip and perfectly execute packing and maneuvering the placement of every piece of luggage and each item that you have to take with you. We headed TO Kentucky, bringing Sis in her HUGE dog kennel in the back of the truck (with HER in it, much to my dismay...) with all of our luggage,Christmas packages in plastic totes and all of the rest of the items we were toting along with us to Kentucky packed in around her in the back of the truck. You may remember in one of my previous post I mentioned that I felt we were bringing all of our possessions BUT the kitchen sink. Well, when Chad came home between Christmases he even brought HOME some of the Christmas gifts so when we came home for the final time we should even be traveling a little lighter. Shouldn't we???

Well somehow, it seems to have worked out that we didn't have room for everything AND we really needed to use the covered shelter of Sis' kennel for some of the luggage so she had the luxury of making the 6+ hour drive back to Collierville, Tennessee in the front seat with Chad and I. The funny thing is that she insisted on sitting with her rear end facing me and lying her head on Chad's lap the entire trip! And I do mean the ENTIRE TRIP, unless we stopped for potty breaks and then it was right back to that position. It was an interesting trip but the princess made sure that she was comfortable and when anything poked her or made her uncomfortable she managed to manuever her 120 pound frame until she found a more suitable position. Never mind she was in the middle of two adult people in the front seat of a moving vehicle. As long as the princess was happy......

All's well that end's well though. We made it home safe and sound although it must have been a hard road for her. She came in the door and after walking around the house a little bit she hit the floor and slept all night. Such a hard life for this princess pooch.

Love to you all and til next time-
