On our way

Let's see if this gives you an idea of how 'weird' we are. We have actually gone through the process of adopting a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier through WIN in the US. The main or first person, Gwen, and I spoke a couple of days ago after I left an email with WIN. Then I had a call from Garin and then she and I spoke for a spell. After that it was a lot of e-mail and phone calls and finally the application and then fee for the adoption. WOW you really can do a lot on-line. LOL

Beckett is now our newest family member. He isn't a foster like the horses, he is now a member of the family. He has his own bed, dishes, toys, blanket, doctor, and name. Beckett Ellis-Dunsford. Perhaps the horse is next. Well, I think the second dog will be next in the fall and then the horse the year after. Then we'll be set until we retire for additional family members. It is the right time for this and I think we're all lucky for different reasons.

Beckett will be picked up tomorrow. Presently we are on our way to meet Garin at the border of Mass and Maine for 12:30 tomorrow but we're stuck in F'ton NB because of a snow storm. We had intended to drive down to the location and stay over night but this storm has us pinned down here. Oh well, another 6 hours in the morning and then 11 to get back to PEI. This is quite the adventure.

This will be Beckett's Blog start. For the winter we'll be living in Charlottetown and for the spring, summer, and fall we'll be out at the summer house.

I think that once he has been trained to come when you call him, he'll enjoy the property. We have the plan to upgrade the screened in patio with a special dog door insert that we scored at Home Depot for a sweetheart of a deal. It will allow Beckett to go out in the patio and then out into the large enclosure or into the house at his leasure.

Well, it's getting late and we have a very early morning start.
