Leaving on a jet plane

We're heading to south Texas for four days. Our nephew is getting his "wings"—military parlance for becoming a pilot. It's very exciting. Even more exciting is he got top in his class and top pick for where he wanted to be stationed. There was only one opening at Miramar in San Diego and he got it keeping him close to his family and his wife's. How great is that?

Lucy will go to R&M's for the span. Though her back end is still weak since her surgery (eliminating the possibility of fence jumping), they will be taking her to their shop during the day. I have such a tough time leaving her and feelings are mutual, though she loves them.

The vet who did her surgery moved clinics and is now with Seattle Veterinary Specialists. If one can judge from their website, they look very complete. I hope it's a good facility—it's a lot closer than the one in Lynnwood!
