Good news. We got a
dog! Cooper is our new “mastiff mix,” chosen for the mastiff’s reputation of
being “gentle giants.”
Bad news. Cooper’s
“mix” part seems to trump his “mastiff/gentle” part.
Good news. G and
Joseph lovelovelove the high-energy dog.
Bad news. We needed
to make an unexpected trip to Florida.
PetSmart screened Cooper and we arranged for them to board him… but they
changed their minds when we went to drop him off... mere hours before we were
supposed to leave.
Good news. We found a
last-minute boarding place!
Bad news. We had to
drive with intensity, rushing to beat a snowstorm, driving 14 straight hours
with only two 10-minute breaks.
Good news. G was a
great passenger! No complaints. He spent a good deal of the trip using his
“phone” and “computer” to be a Dispatcher (“you want 80 snowplows in Atlanta,
Mama?”).
Bad news. We left
behind a trifecta of urgent home repair issues.
Good news. Fixed!
Crisis averted.
Bad news. During the
fix, plumbing issues were discovered.
Watching for the good news…
