Crabbing in Blaine

Lets see- the Thursday after Las Vegas Dan, Dyllan Bug, and I headed up to Blaine to visit Bill and Elaine (put their names together- and you get "Blaine"- thanks Teri!) and of course Mylola Maria Sussex-Newton Sussex-Yates.  As soon as we pulled into their drive way- Dyllan hopped out and rushed for "Mi-row".  Mylo was so happy to see her- and of course Dan (who hadn't seen her since January).

That afternoon we headed out on the boat to pick up Bill's crab traps- so we could make "crap" for dinner- one of Bill's specialties!

The weather was perfect- and as always- we had the best, most relaxing, enjoyable time with Bill and Elaine ( and Frida and Mylo).  It was so reassuring to see Mylo so happy and healthy and in a good home.  We were sad to have to say goodbye- but we know that Mylo is happy- and would be much happier with them than going through a 14+ hour flight in a cage- then 60 days of quarantine- only to live in a small unit with Dyllan pulling her tail and ears all day long... not to mention not getting any toppers on her dinner- or having cyote to bark at in the winter months, and canadian geese to chase in the summer months.  Mylo is one lucky dog to have gotten adopted by such a great family.  We couldn't think of a better home for her if we tried!

Elaine had a little birthday celebration (with 2 different cakes!) for me!
