Christmas VACA









Had a great time on vacation. My husband got up at 3 am with me and Fallon and Sweet Sugary Goodness (the dog). Very tired as we got to the airport. Kind of nervous because we had never flown with the dog before. Would she whine on the plane? Or pee? What if they didn’t even let her on? When we got up to the counter to check in they didn’t even ask us if we had her rabies certificate! However, Fallon had forgotten her identification so I had to fork out an extra $100 so she could fly as an unaccompanied minor. Grrrrr (I love my lallie pup, right?!). Not very happy with that little girl. So other than the little ID bump in the road everything else went very smoothly. Sugars never whined at all through the entire flight and it was almost 4 hours. During the transfer we took her out of her carry case and she was a happy camper. Everyone loved her. Fally slept through most of the flight-I did too (so did sugar). I walked Fally to her next flight and she was off to Tulsa! My friend Randy was at the airport in Arkansas to pick me up and we went right to my friend Allisa’s house where we roasted marshmallows in her fireplace and made smores-DELICIOUS! The next day I rented my car and was off to see Chere’. We had a great week. We drove to Little Rock to visit with Chere’s sister Kathy and her dog Zoey. Sugars and her got along like Forest and Jenny (peas & carrots) Hmm that sounds good. I think we will have beef stew for dinner tomorrow J. One night we also went up to the Lodge at Mount Magazine and had a wonderful dinner. I had the smoked salmon with lemon and caper sauce. Chere had a huge monster burger and Randy had a Reuben Sammie. It was very sad to have to get back on the plane to come home but at the same time I sure did miss my family. I spoke to Mia a couple times while I was gone and all she could say and talk about was how very much she missed her Sugary Goodness. Another long flight and we were back home. Mr. Lovely aka my husband picked us all up at the airport and he told us all how much he missed us. I secretly think he might have even missed Sugary Goodness. She has a silly little way of slinkin up into your heart and makin it all warm and fuzzy. It was very good to see my family after a week away. Miss Chellsea was a great help while We were gone. She helped shuttle Bubba back and forth and helped take care of everyone. What a great girl she is! Life is good! Oh yeah I forgot-We also went to visit Sugars Mom at my friend Cris's house and we went to Mrs. Bankheads natural store and got Bubba some good eatin food and then when I got home I took Bubba to get his moppy hair cut and then we all went to get donuts in town and THEN-Life was good!
