So much can happen in a week! Its hard to believe that a week ago I was packing up and preparing to say goodbye to my friends and family and everyone at the shelter. With goodbyes done and my attempt at a road trip complete I find myself settling into my new home quite nicely. Stress levels are somewhat high due to my $2300 transmission bill but what can you do? Roll with the punches I guess! The animals are adjusting quite well. Oreo is the resident trouble maker. I think he feels it's his duty as the only male in the household! Riggs loves to sit in the sun for most of the day. She tries to snuggle with Trinity but Trinity doesn't understand this foreign concept. Lady Bug is definitely my lap cat. If you are sitting she is in your lap. And Trinity... where to begin! Everyone here thinks she is beautiful, which is hard to argue with :) She loves our walks and is slowly adjusting to the gentle leader. She is a champ in the car now and we are working on all kinds of basic commands. She is afraid of her own shadow and sometimes growls at the t.v. She is a bed hog and she snores but I love her and she loves me so what more could one really ask for?
I find myself missing the shelter already. Sometimes I forget that I am not going back. Utah is still so new it feels like a vacation. But I know that all is well and that Chelsea and the kennel staff are hard at work finding our dogs homes. I miss So many people back home but I also know that many will visit and many will stay in touch. I look forward to skype dates and snail mail. I start work on Sunday and I am SO excited!!!! I think starting work will solidify the start of my new life in this crazy beautiful place!!! There truly is nothing more beautiful than sun rise on the red cliffs. On that note I must go ride my bike!!!
Peace & Love,
Summer
