There is a reason we’re headed east instead of south

 

Henry is getting a baby sister.  We’re going to Mulberry Farm Kennels in upstate New York; the same place we got Annie.  We told Henry.  He said, “You say we’re getting a new puppy and I’m going to love it?”

 

“Just kidding, I’m excited!”

 

The puppy, named Jesse, is five weeks old last Saturday.  Three more weeks before she’s old enough to pick up and take home at eight weeks.  She’s a Cockapoo; Cocker Spaniel mom, Poodle dad.  Here she is at four weeks.

 

Her Dad is the grandson of Annie’s Dad so we’re in the same bloodline.  She is Annie’s niece!

Pictures out a hotel window

 

Usually, we can figure out what something might be for, even if we haven’t seen one before.  Like the rack on top of this truck.

We haven’t seen that rack before, but it looks like a work truck, and they can haul gear or materials up there.  Or maybe they carry the frame for an inflatable raft.  We can make up explanations…  and the explanations might even be true!

 

But the top of this truck….

 

Something could mount up there???  But the mounting is not symmetrical with the same size legs.

 

Not coming up with a good story to go with this illustration.

 

 

The wheels are rolling.  But we’re not headed south.  We’ve turned left and are headed east.
