Final Night in the Big D

It is really crunch time now. We will be heading to the airport in just over 12 hours. The houses have been packed and cleaned out, cars are with Richard, the consignment guy and there's really only one major task left to complete. . .finish the crate for this guy.

Below is a picture of Scott in front of the crate earlier today. He is currently in the garage cranking away at it and getting close to finishing. The supports are on for the forklift (you heard me right, the forklift) and the breathing holes are drilled. Now, he'll add the door, give it a paint job and we should be set.

We also wanted to pass along a special thanks to Craig and Alison for letting us crash at their house instead of staying in a hotel for an additional 2 nights with the dogs and to Micki and Aaron for stopping by with delicious fajitas and cold beer for our final dinner in the south.

The next 48 hours or so will be very interesting with a long flight to Germany and then a little drive to Switzerland and a few nights in a hotel with the whole crew. Although we may not have access to the internet, I'll take good notes (in my red book of course).  Please think happy thoughts for us and the crazy dogs on their long journey across the pond.
