Dexter's first long trip in the car! We are going to my parent's house in upstate NY tomorrow morning with Dexter, and I have a huge list of supplies to get and pack. I think he will do fine. He loves riding in the car, and he normally sleeps in the back seat when he is tired out from swimming or running at the park. I figure leaving 2 am will be nice. He will more than likely sleep until around 7am, though maybe he will be up and at 'em earlier than that considering the excitement and…

Dexter turned one! :D I am so proud of him. He is really a good dog. We worked out our issues with walking on a leash. He does beautifully now.

Our air conditioning went out two weeks ago at the house we are renting. Unfortunately it took 12 days for the landlord to get around to fixing it. Long story short- she has a son who used to work HVAC and he is sort of slow with projects. She bought the equipment and it sat around forever waiting to be installed. -___-;; Of course this happens during the heat advisory week of August so we took Dexter to my boyfriend's parents house to stay with us until something was finally done. (And my cat… Continue
