Yeah, Cody made them heavy duty! I inagine if he was determined enough he could shimmy over the top front but he’s pretty content in there with his elk leg and his bed

The boys were in the kennel when a herd of feral pigs came, lusting after Cody’s lawn. I heard a booming bark, then a roar, and then Fenny’s shrill screams.
The pigs did a 180 and took off. Fen is quite proud of himself, certain they left due to his lifesaving efforts. He’s pretty sure Boone had nothing to do with it.
We went to Josh & Chelsea’s last night to finish cleaning out the Burb. He gave us a check from his brother. Our other daughter with 4 of the other grands came down so we got to see 7 of the grands
We all had pizza, Boone had the time of his life playing with their pittie (bitch) and playing in the duck water, while Fen remained fascinated by the neighbor’s tortoise that was zooming up and down the fence line.
We finally got back to Cody’s, fed the dogs and Boone was tired enough he slept on the fireplace tiles so I could sleep in recliner instead of the floor. He woke me up around 2 a.m. by booping me and then stood very determinedly at the glass door to the back porch. Thinking he had to pee, I grabbed his leash then flipped on the outside light while opening the door, then quickly pushed it shut, because standing in Front of me with his tail held skyward was Mister Skunk!
Boone whined a bit, I explained the situation as best I could to him, turned off the lights and Boone said he didn’t really have to pee anyway, he got up because of the skunk.
He quietly went back to his spot and without a single bark, went back to sleep.

Boone really has made some remarkable progress since we left home. He’s had to deal with so many major novel experiences, sleep in different homes with different rules, is picking up slowly on his directional cues, putting his head down when asked, hands me his feet and lets me just touch his nails with a dremel, let me clip both dewclaws and one toenail last night, has mastered assisting me up and down stairs, searching for my meds in multiple places and sometimes in another room, and is improving his responses to everything he already knew, AND look who’s under the table! My claustrophobic baby dog cowboyed up and put himself right under there so I could eat!!

This trip has been wonderful for you, Randy, Boone, Fen, your kids and grandkids. Even wonderful with the burn blowing up and now you get a truck that will probably be more dependable than the burb. WIN-WIN!!

Got back to Cody’s after going back to the coast with Randy to see Shari and the kids They got all my stuff from the burb plus the big recliner and the 10’ kennel. Boone is going to get better acquainted with the kennel as he needs to stay home my next Dr appt because 1 appt is going to last 3-4 hours. It’s too long for him to sit in one place at his age and Randy can’t handle him and do errands.
Mr skunk was out back so we went out side door in dark so Boone could pee. He kept wanting to go to the truck, so I assumed he thought we were leaving. He didn’t pull hard or anything, he just tried moving that direction but I was able to convince him to go to the big oak tree. He relieved himself and I was able to move him to the house even though he wanted to stay by the truck.
Now it was Fen’s turn.
Randy took him out and noticed what I did not…Mister Skunk was watching us from under the pickup. They quickly hustled back in as Fen wasn’t quite as demure about Peppy Le Pew. He got to use the front yard.
Cody said tonight he plans to “pew pew Le Pew”
Packed up and ready to make 7 hr drive to Reno, get a hotel room and pick up my brother’s truck. I can’t get over how generous it is of my niece and nephews to do this
