On the Road

Louie likes to ride in the car. He usually just sits patiently and thinks pug thoughts about where he might be going. Yesterday, he took a ride to the vet to check out his skin infection on his tummy. After a round of antibiotics and some topical meds, he is in great shape. He's lost a few pounds of puppy fat, and he's looking good at 24.5 pounds.Bridger is back at home. He entertained us with his ABC's for many miles on Friday. At first he didn't think he wanted to go home, but by time we were in Baldwin County, he was pretty darn excited to see his mommy and daddy. We had a long, long, long ride back to Huntsville on Saturday. We made a couple of stops in the morning one to get some red snapper and some giant shrimp at the Southern Fish and Oyster Company in downtown Mobile. It is always fun to get the seafood from the source. Barry usually waits on us. They took a big hit when Katrina blew through, but they are back to normal, and business was bustling early Saturday. We also enjoyed a stop at the Conecuh Sausage Company store in Evergreen where we picked up some bacon and sausage. However, then traffic came to a total stop on Highway 65 due to construction in Montgomery. We finally took an alternate road, H31, and picked up the main highway in Prattville. The whole trip including the stops took a whopping nine hours.
We're back in Huntsville, and Allen is back to work. I always ask if he is putting out fires on his project, and I guess the answer is clear from this picture. (Obviously, this is in Bridger's and Taplin's room. Allen did not crawl in the fire truck through the door -- he put in on. Very funny.)
