Yesterday and today things were a bit gloomy. Last year we lost Skruffy on Christmas Eve in Sacramento area, took off for Florida two days later. It was a very sad trip because her demise came so quick...hit us both very hard. With Bubba we have seen his decline for the past few years. We knew it was a matter of time...but it still is not easy. Staying here two nights allowed for the Hurricane to clear out of our way home, and for us to gently mourn life without Bubba. As for Indy, she does not seem to realize Bubba is gone, but her territorial nature is slowly going away.
Last night we had a nice sunset. There is a small pond near our campsite where I took the picture at. (If you call concrete camping a campsite...but hey, free with electricity and water is something you can't complain about).
I think we parked here last year when we stayed for a couple days in April. Next to the grass for an easy dog walk, and these sites down near the end are flatter.
Above is our section, the back half of the park.
Below is the front part of the park. When we arrived, only 1/3 of these RVs were in the park. Most of those that pulled in took off this morning, and fewer have pulled in today. However, we had two 5th wheels pull in right next to us around 4:30. With so many empty sites, I wondered why...but then I saw that they were both from Michigan, traveling together,
It will be interesting where Indy sets herself during our travels from this point on. Lately she has found a spot right behind my chair next to where the slide-out is "in" for travel. Of course, every so often she has to jump on Marcia's lap to get her "whiff" of air.
We are heading directly south to I-20, then east, then south again to I-10. Hoping for four days of travel and three nights after Saturday night's stay here at the Casino.
And we appreciate our friends and family who reached out to us about losing Bubba. Thank you so very much.
It's so hard to lose a best friend. Indy will probably miss him for a time. It's good she's not so territorial. My Jessie won't be around much longer ... I hope Cooper fairs as well.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many deaths of pets, including horses, you have had to deal with...way too many most likely.
DeleteSo sorry about Bubba. :-(
ReplyDeleteHave a good and safe trip home. There's been way too much bad weather this year.
I see you two have missed most of it.
DeleteGlad the Weather is cooperating for you and you will soon be home.
ReplyDeleteAlso nice that Indy is adjusting to being alone without Bubba.
Be Safe and Enjoy the moderate temperatures.
It's about time.
Since Indy only had 3 months with Bubba, her adjustment period will be easy. She bothered poor old Bubba to death, like a child with an older great-grandparent would if they had to deal with the child constantly.
