We are off to Las Vegas tomorrow to meet Mikey.

He is a seven year old Airedale who is in rescue as a result of the aging of his humans.

It almost goes without saying that once we meet him we will definitely bring him home with us on Saturday.

We have a lot of trust in Rusty, the airedale rescue Mom and she thinks we are a good fit.

We thought we were done with dogs but then realized after six months of mourning Booker that we were not finished with the pitter and patter of not so little feet in the house.

So we started the process. And it is taking on its own momentum.

This morning we went to PetSmart and loaded up on supplies. We had gotten rid of all our gear so we need to gear up again. I am not sorry that we did this. Booker's dog bed had his name on it. A lot of his stuff had his mark.

Mikey is not going to be Booker or, for that matter, Franklin who preceded.

We will leave tomorrow morning, go meet Mikey and, if all is well, will go back to pick him up Saturday morning. We will all come back to Palm Springs. A new start.

John built a plywood platform so he has a nice space in the back seat and there are plenty of straps and all to hold him in.

We will not have the top down of course. But he still needs to be safe.

We have the bowls and the food and the new 27 foot lead on a spring roll. We know how to do this thing. We are very experienced Dads.
