Mom and Dad found a roof to put over our heads and they made an offer and it was accepted today, but Dad said not to get too excited because now we have to go through something called escrow. I guess there are all kinds of stuff that has to happen before we really get the place. The lady at the mortgage company said she will try and have everything taken care of by Halloween! Mom said she had a good feeling about this one because when they looked at it, the people had the same comforter that we had at the old house! She said that was a good omen.
I haven't seen the inside yet, but Mom said it's a two bedroom condo and has a little backyard for me, and a little patio for Mom and Dad! It sure will be nice to be able to go outside without a leash! Mom said Dad's first job is to put in a doggie door for me! Mom keeps telling Dad that she is tired of being the doggie door for me - but, when I gotta go, I gotta go - even in the middle of the night - two or three times (sometimes)!
Mom and Dad went appliance "looking" this afternoon, and they have been talking about what they are going to move in to the condo and what they are going to get rid of. I think they will get rid of a lot of "STUFF". Mom said she really doesn't need all that STUFF anymore, but, I've seen Moms shopping list and it is growing minute by minute!
Mom said she will try and post some pictures as soon as she is able to take some.
The RV Park is really filling up - some of the "rigs" are HUGE! There is a big group here that is interested in the railroad being built into Carson City from Virginia City - they have taken over almost half of the park and they all have those great big Diesel Pushers! Mom and Dad sit a laugh at them as they try to maneuver them into the camping spots here - sometimes it takes three or four guys to help the driver get in here!
The weather has been great so far, but it's supposed to be windy and rain next week - but no frost yet! Keep your fingers crossed it doesn't get too cold before we can get under our new roof!!!
We will keep you posted about when things will be happening....

Still lookin' for a roof...
Monday, September 25, 2011
Well, Mom and Dad are still looking for a place for us to live. Sometimes they put me in doggie day care and that is just fine with me - I would rather play with new friends than sit in the truck. They have looked at a bunch of stuff, but some of the ones they liked move really fast because people are coming in with cash on the short sales. They saw a small cute house in Carson City, and Mom said the back yard was a big as a football field! WOW, that would be great for me, but Dad said he didn't want to mow lawn that much - darn! Not only that, but they have looked at a couple of little houses that would turn out to be another one like we own now - a big remodel job. Some of the condos they have looked at have REALLY SMALL outdoor living areas, so Mom said that wouldn't do for me or her - she likes to sit outside, and she said I need a little room to sniff around. Oh well, something will come up - I hope!
Our camp site is still good. It was really busy this last week with a bunch of motorcycle riders coming in for the big Harley Street Vibrations. We had two couples across the street that were from Salmon Arm, British Colombia. They were really nice and they came over and scratched my ears every time I was out! That was really nice of them.

Home for a week and we moved the trailer....
Thursday, September 15, 2011
Well, we have been home for a week - can you believe it? Mom and Dad moved the trailer today to a better spot - now I have grass to lay on and it's not quite as dirty - it's cheaper too! We are at the Gold Dust West Casino in Carson City on Hwy 50. Mom and Dad like this better and they get to use all the grown-up stuff in the casino, like the pool, spa, exercise room (yea, like that's going to happen), and the business center - Dad needed a fax machine!
Mom and Dad have been looking at places to buy - cheap - and today they found a gem of a house. They both agreed that it needs a little work, but it is in a great neighborhood and it's a cute little place that will work just fine. They hope to put an offer on it later today or tomorrow so everybody keep your fingers crossed. I will keep you posted and let you all know if and when we have a more permanent home. In the mean time the trailer is just fine as long as the snow doesn't fly!
We will keep you posted...

Right back from where we started...ALMOST
Thursday, September 8, 2011
We're BAAAACCKK! We are right back from where we started.....only one space difference! When we started this adventure we were at the Comstock Country RV Resort in space 13 - now we are in space 14! We rolled into Carson City about 11:30 am, set up camp and went to lunch. Then Dad took Mom and I for a little drive around town and the old neighborhood. Mom said the more things change, the more things stay the same. Anyway, we are here, safe and sound. Mom and Dad will be looking for a place to live so we can settle down for a while (but, not too long!).
If you are in the neighborhood, stop by - we'd love to see you!
Even though we are back in Carson City, the Adventure is still going on - anyway as long as we are living in the trailer. We were a total of 361 days on the road - 4 days short of one year! If you look at the Stats to the right of the page, Mom has them all updated.

Almost there....
Wednesday, September 7, 2011
It's hard to believe that we are only a couple hours from home. We started really early today, but we gave out early too. Dad decided to go ahead and stay at Quincy, CA for the night and get a fresh start in the morning to get home. We have a GREAT camp site at the Pioneer RV Park and the people here are really nice - they even gave me a treat!
It's pretty warm, but not too bad if you are in the trailer with the A/C on!
Tomorrow morning we will make the last leg of our trip to Carson City....more later!

Typical Labor Day Weekend - COLD!
Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Well, it was a typical Labor Day Weekend. The sun did come out yesterday, but it was cold. Mom and Dad both had sweats and jackets on - I was wearing my fur coat, of course, so I was nice and warm - especially when the sun came out and I could take my sunbath. Mom and Dad went to a Bar-B-Que, but dogs weren't invited, however, Mom did bring me back a hamburger patty - YUMMY!
Sunday we went for another one of Dad famous "little" rides that took us about 8 hours. We found some Elk, and we saw one bear, but Mom couldn't get his picture - he was really fast! We drove along the coast - that's where we saw the Elk - one herd was by Gold Bluffs and another herd was farther down the coast; then we drove through the Redwood forest and saw all the BIG trees. We ended up in the high country away from the coast and it was really toasty! Then it was cool and foggy when we got back to camp again. Mom took a bunch more pictures - so here are some of them:
We are camped at the KOA at Trinity Center, CA in the Trinity Alps. We ended up with a really crummy spot, but we are moving on tomorrow. Dad said we are going to Quincy, CA tomorrow and then to Carson City on Thursday!

 |
| Now he's just showing off for the girls |
 |
| We had to forge the stream... |
 |
| ...and, drive through dark forests! |
 |
| We came across the road on top of the ridge. |
 |
| The second herd of Elk - this is the boss! |
 |
| This caused a critter jam on the highway. |
 |
| This was taken this morning in the fog - they were still in the same spot as they were Sunday. |
 |
| Foggy marshes this morning |
 |
| This is what the highway looked like - can you see the headlights of the car coming at us? (Next to the white line on the right.) |

We are camped at the KOA at Trinity Center, CA in the Trinity Alps. We ended up with a really crummy spot, but we are moving on tomorrow. Dad said we are going to Quincy, CA tomorrow and then to Carson City on Thursday!

It must be the Labor Day Weekend - it's COLD!
Saturday, September 3, 2011
Well the weatherman was wrong again. It was supposed to be warmer today, but it is cold, windy, and the marine layer is coming up the river. Mom, Dad and I went for a short ride and watched the Native American Indians catch salmon in the river. I sure am glad I was in the truck - it was COLD out there.
Last night when Dad took me for a walk, we saw a bear at the fish cleaning station, so we had to take another route home. Rumor has it that there were three there the other night. The fishermen have been really catching the fishes around here! Yesterday we went for a ride in the redwood forest - boy oh boy are those trees ever big! Mom wants to go back again, to get some pictures.
When we got back to camp, Dad and I took a little nap - it was nice and warm and we snuggled together (Dad is watching TV between naps)!
