Photos taken during the final part of their stay - visiting with my parents, Jethro reunited with Gerry and Loretta travels to Oregon enroute to Allison and Washington
My parents came down to visit in April, so they got to meet Jethro and Loretta. Here's mom and dad with the dogs in the back yard.
Justin and Lydia in the far back yard, 15 yr old Jess (black Lab), Loretta, Jethro and Ethan with my mom, Judie Smay, and my dad, Charles Smay.
While it was fun to meet Gerry and see her reunited with Jethro, it was also hard to see him go. He's such a sweet boy! I'm hopeful I'll get to see him again someday (and I'm curious how he'll react to me!).
Loretta was a good little traveler on our trip up to Oregon to meet Allison. She even realized she was going to need to pee and poop while on leash (a big deal!). She seemed to follow Ethan's lead, and settled right in at the motel. The only bummer was the it was pouring RAIN. Ugh. I left the dogs loose in the room really quickly to get something from the van, and when I came back in the hallway, I heard barking. Oh no! I raced down the hall, thinking Loretta was barking - but as I got closer to my room, I could tell it was someone else's dog, the source was not from my room! Loretta and Ethan were cool as cucumbers waiting for me!
I had brought a crate inside just in case I didn't feel comfortable letting Loretta be loose during the night. But knowing where she was wasn't a problem - as she was curled up sleeping right next to my head all night!
