There's no place like home..

Dana, Bre and I FINALLY made it home today shortly after 2:00pm. The drive over the mountains took us about an hour longer than our usual drive on dry roads. We did have snow, and ice and it snowed on us probably 1/3 of the way home, but we made it.

Thank you Colorado DOT! They really outdid themselves this time with road maintenance and we saw several snow plows not only plowing but dropping sand.

We quickly unloaded my Escape and then took Danas to the kennel to get the boys. They were SO excited to see us! Frankie peed all over the floor of the vets office where they stayed. LOL He doesnt want to talk about it, he thinks the other dogs laughed at him.

Right now both hounds are sound asleep, Max is on his couch and Frankie is tucked underneath a blanket laying by my legs. He says life is good.

I work for the next 3 days, so it is entirely possible that I wont get to download my vacation and travel pics, but I will get them posted as soon as I can.

After this week, I am rethinking the whole travelling by car deal. Even though flying is a huge hassle it is moving higher on my list of best ways to travel! :-)

One last thing, I had a GREAT visit with Lisa from My New Thing To Do last night on the phone, thanks again Lisa, you made my day!!!

I am so happy you all got home safe and sound! I was thinking of you guys all day and praying you have no hassles. And while I do not like to fly, driving in snow to me is worse than flying any day!

Peeing on the floor is like a super wonderful doggy welcome home!!

They must have really missed their humans!

Glad you're home safely. I love to travel by car. Planes freak me out and I hate waiting at the airports. Love your blog decor for Christmas!

So glad you made it home safe. Now I need you to call me. So I am going to write you an email giving you my phone number. I am "in" so it won't cost you any minutes or money. I have to talk to you about the Storm.

Glad you are home.

I love the Christmas blog look, I am so jealous of you all that are doing it, but I fear I will mess things up if I try to do it. I can't wait to see your pictures of the trip and again, I am so sorry we did not get to catch up in person. And I too so enjoyed the phone conversation. Yes, flying is the only way to go.

I love your blog look too! I'm glad you all are home safe and warm. I especially laughed at the "pee welcome". Don't you just love em to death!

Lisa is a nut. Retired Police Officer and scared of blog changing. I need to head over and straighten her out LOL LOL
