A New Traveling Character December 05, 2020, 09:33:19 am After way too long we finally have an additional traveler who will join us on our LD adventures. Her name is Gracie and she seems to be bonding with Margee, which was her plan. We leave Monday on a short LD trip, which will be our first with Gracie. Gracie is 9 weeks old and has had all her scheduled maintenance. She seems in good condition especially her 4 wheel drive. She can already out run both of us. MPG is decent at 1/4 cup of kibble 3 times a day. As expected, her black tank leaks in 2 places, but we’re working on that issue. I must say Mama Margee is quite happy with puppy. So it’s all good. 32 Likes

Re: A New Traveling Character Reply #7 – December 06, 2020, 10:13:35 am What a sweetie Gracie is. Congrats to the both of you. I can see how happy Margee is, of course from the tone of your post it is easy to tell you have remained completely self controlled and aloof. 3 Likes
Re: A New Traveling Character Reply #8 – January 22, 2021, 08:42:22 am Yesterday our puppy (Gracie) was spayed and so a rough night for puppy. The anesthesia and pain medicine injection seemed like it caused her disorientation. She didn't drink or eat for 36 hours. She was very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep or go potty. Margee stayed with her all night. This morning, we trimmed the cone since it was way too big for such a small puppy. It's better now and Gracie tolerates it much better. This morning Gracie ate some breakfast and drank a little water. She's still struggling to go potty. Right now she's sound asleep 💤 wearing the improved collar. Margee is real tired 😓. So what have we been doing ... puppy, puppy & more puppy. But we leave next Tuesday on a short trip into East Texas. Relief is spelled Lazy Daze!! 😍 10 Likes
