My old trooper   9 comments

As some of you know, before setting out from Arizona, I had given some consideration to having Sabrina put down. I wasn’t sure if she could weather the trip home as it would not be a direct route. She has had some long standing health issues which I’ve been dealing with on a day to day basis. However, in the end, I decided that her quality of life was still good enough that she could probably make the trip without too much discomfort. Once back at our summer place in Nova Scotia, I think she may be okay for awhile yet.

Being the old trooper that she is, she has done much better than I’d expected. Two weeks along the road and she seems to be thriving on the adventure and the more than occasional sausage-with-egg-mcmuffin, which has always been her breakfast of choice. She has spent several days exploring the sagebrush around my van at campsites, as well as meals cooked on the propane campstove. Hopefully my good old dog will make it back to our home in Canada in about a week.

  1. Bev, so glad Sabrina is doing so well! I see in the picture that you have hit snow! Is that in Colorado? I think Bryce NP is my favourite, but we have yet to see the Grand Canyon…hopefully in a few years, we’ll be back. We just met a volunteer, here, from Perth, Ont…who performs and MC’s at Blue Grass events in the US and Canada…It’s too bad about the timing…

  2. I’m glad she’s enjoying the trip home. She looks so beautiful still and vital. How old is she now, Bev? I love knowing that she likes sausage egg mcmuffins. That must be quite a treat. Safe journey to you all!

  5. Good to see and hear that you are all traveling well together. There’s still snow visible in the foothills to the east of here, but there is so much more light and warmth as the days get longer and longer. Many more opportunities for long walks!
