Both a non-eventful and an eventful day for Laurie and Linen.  Non-eventful travel from San Rafael to Walla Walla.  The airline staff was amazingly accommodating and helpful the entire way.  The team’s first solo flight was pleasant and as non-stressful as could be hoped for.  An eventful day in the fact that Linen was seeing so many new things in just one day.  He rocked it.  We loaded up with Linc for the drive back to Walla Walla.  Linen quickly settled in for the 45-minute ride home from the Tri-Cities. 

Once we were home, we let him explore the house a bit (no, he didn’t find Oreo!) — and then we got right to work.  Linen hadn’t had as much exercise as usual, so we ventured off for a working walk — he did an amazing job.  Lots of “new” all around him — but he locked in like a machine as we started towards campus.  We made it a little over half way before deciding not to push it.  And it was a little chillier in Washington than it was in sunny California.

Then we settled in for a little “chill time” — just the three of us…  hoping Oreo would make an appearance, but she did not.  She’ll get it figured out – I’m guessing they’ll be snuggle buddies soon enough.      love, L&L&L

Laurie resting her head on Linen as he snoozes on his dog bed. Long travel day for both. Lots of new things for Linen. He’s earned a nap.
