What a crazy busy few days! I arrived at Spirit Lake early Monday afternoon, and it feels like I haven't stopped run, run, running since I got here! I'm not ready for a great post, but here are some pictures for your enjoyment
There's a TON of room to run, and my ZoeyMonster is one happy girl!
The first night here, she was COVERED with ticks! I started thinking maybe I ought to rethink my position on Frontline (my family doesn't use it because we had a dog who had seizures because of it) after picking a dozen nasty bloodsuckers off my poor baby girl's legs. BUT I smeared Nature's Miracle Substance, coconut oil, on her legs to soothe the tick bites, and she hasn't had any ticks since.
This is where I sleep
Why is Blogger ridiculously stretching my vertical pictures? Hm...I should figure that out at some point...Anyway, this is My Own Space, with a door that closes and locks. Isn't it cute?
Where I shower (because you wanted to know that, right?)
Community showers! Just like college! Except actually, there's a lot more privacy than the showers in my dorm. Rustic, but clean, new, and plenty of hot water.
My cohorts
Mike, Libby, Zoey (but you knew that, right?), Ron, and Dawn. You'll probably be hearing me mention them a lot. Not pictured are Z's new pack, Cooper, Maizie (for Amazing), and Grace. Z is NOT the most well-socialized dog, so she has a love-hate relationship with The Pack. I am not the most well-socialized human, so I empathize. Not that I have a love-hate relationship with this particular pack--they're fabulous!
And my chariot
Until yesterday, I had never pulled a trailer in my life, but nothing broke and nobody died! Even more impressive, today I did it *without* anyone telling me what to do! Again, nothing broke and nobody died, so I was pretty darn proud of myself!
I promise, I'll write more this weekend!
