We are back home. Sophia and I had to wait for Mom to cut the weeds in our back yard play area before we could go out. Mom said that at a foot tall, they were just too much to wade through to get to our outside leads. I liked going out first thing every morning and last thing every evening while we traveled. It is usually very peaceful in campgrounds before dawn.

It did feel good to experience all of the smells of home. Mom said we looked like dogs as we sniffed at everything inside and outside the house. It was also nice to stretch our legs as we ran from the family room to the living room and back again. Mom said we had the zoomies, whatever that is. I liked our trip but running free is also very special. Wish we could do that outside, but I do understand Mom’s concerns about the mean dog that lives down the street. That dog has a history of doing bad things to cats and small dogs.

Mom continues to unpack things from the van. She has also being doing lots of loads of laundry. She didn’t seem to like my help in folding the sheets after she air dried them. They just had such a nice smell. I liked sitting in the laundry basket. She continued to lift me out to reach another sheet or blanket. She wants everything clean and fresh before we go on another trip. Not sure when she can convince Dad to do that anytime soon.

This picture is of my favorite time of the day when we are on the road.
