Katie is 14 weeks old - she has learned sit, down, stand, wait, stay, come, okay, leave it, drop it and such. She has been a real trooper in our travels this past week.
Dad has been in the hospital for more than a week - he may not come home. It is tough. But, I have no regrets - dad and I have always had a great relationship.
My wife drove home with the boys -- thy drove (will have driven) a total of 24 hours for a short, but rewarding, visit with their grampa. The girls flew out - and went back home yesterday. I stayed in Iowa.
One thing I've learned from Katie - live in the moment, dogs are like that. They don't hold grudges, they are joyful, anything more than 15 seconds is in the past and they move forward - at least Katie does.
The kids and Carolyn are such wonderful support. Miah is still special to grandma --
It is a cold, but beautiful day.
