The Faces of Babs

One of our biggest stresses before we left was Babs.  She is 16 years old, and we weren't sure she would be around when we left.  But if she was we were committed to taking her with us.  I loaded up on food (but not enough, as you know if you have been reading this. Luckily I found more of her specialty food!), put several of her little coats in the RV, brought her little bed and her kennel, and we took her with us.

Although she never got off her leash, she did great.  She seemed to enjoy the different smells, she ate heartily, and she made it home.  Success!

Bear Hunting!

One of the most surprising things to me was how she wanted to share my seat with me.  Now the RV seats are large, but not that large.  When Sepia was alive he slept on my lap.  Not Babs. She wanted to be next to me.  I rode half on/half off the seat for much of the trip . . . but that was ok.  She was happy.  For at least 9000 miles, she sat next to me.  That's a lot of time together!

So here are a few pictures of Babs throughout the trip.
