Yesterday, I helped my paternal human with his
grooming. Today I helped my maternal
human. She puts this thing in her mouth
and hangs over the sink. She foams at
the mouth. I must get in the sink to
make sure she doesn't fall in.
Spouse and I did a morning walk together, for the most
part. Not any options but to walk along
the hwy. The RV park backs up to a
beautiful rocky bluff. Across the street
is a scenic vista of endless meadows, with cottonwood trees hugging the banks
of a creek. A choir of cows serenaded us
as we walked by. Beyond are more
mountains. The shoulder is quite wide so
it really is not a bad walk at all, except for those darned cars that pass.
We got back and readied Hannah for the ride to Reno. It is less than 100 miles but much of it is
stop and go. We chose Rivers Edge RV
park as it is right on the Truckee River.
There is a bike path/ walking trail right behind the park. It is an old park and most of the trailers
look like they are permanent residents, with potted gardens and decks. The internet access is extremely poor. And... we sit right under a runway at Reno
International Airport. Rudy does NOT
like those planes taking off. He is
doing his best to hide under the bed.
After getting settled, we headed to visit my cousin Joy and
her husband Dennis, and my aunt June.
Technically, they are not blood relatives. June, who is 90, and my mom went to school
together so they are our chosen family.
We saw them far more than we saw my mom's other siblings. Joy is a jazz singer, Dennis is a retired
school principal, but does magic now, and it is lots of fun. June is a liberal democrat which is lots of
fun for Spouse, being a libertarian. It
was a great visit. On a sad note, Joy had just said goodbye to a lifelong friend that is expected to pass any moment. Sad, but we didn't let it ruin the evening.
When we got back to Hannah, Rudy let us know how much he
missed us by doing all sorts of running, flying, chasing and such. He missed his humans!
