The house is MT!

Today, I finished moving everything out of the house. I also moved most of the "outside" stuff, including my dogs. Now THAT was a trip! The dogs have never gone on a "road trip" before, so they didn't know how to act in the truck. The female, "Belle," jumped out before the truck was even moving and wriggled out of her collar. Precursor, is what that's called, I think. Anyway, I got her back in the truck and settled down, and then we took off. The male, "Jack," was fine until we took off. I was going about 45 or so when he chose to jump out! I slammed on the brakes and jumped out - he was hanging off the side of the truck from his chain and did not know what to make of the fact that the ground was moving so fast! Well, when I got him settled down and back in the truck, I realized that I lost a lid for one of the big rubbermade containers and a patio chair, so I went back and found both items and loaded them back up, dogs still intact. Well, then it started raining! What a trip! Oh well, we all made it safely and got the load unloaded without any dead dogs or dead drivers. I'm almost done! - Dan
