Dan and I are going to do it again.... DRIVE to CHA in Chicago! You'd think after our experience last summer driving to Orlando FL pulling a trailer of product and being car sick all 14 hours there and the 14 hours back home that we'd never do it again. Well we are!! But this time its only a 9 hour drive and no pulling a trailer now that we have a crate that ships to the convention center. The hardest part for me right now is leaving my 22 month old German Shepherd! For those of you that don't know we got a beautiful male German Shepherd (GSD), Nico is his name and I just hate leaving him now that we have FINALLY established that we are his pack! (This takes a while to accomplish, GSD don't take to people quickly.) But we've found him a great trainer that we love and she is going to keep him while we are gone. We also have a wonderful couple that will be staying in our home and taking care of our other fur-babies so I have nothing to worry about... but I know I will! :)
Here is a picture of my new man... Nico!
