We traveled to Branson, found a hotel and started searching the show schedule. For those of you that have ever lived there (like me), going to a show is the last thing you would ever do. But now that I've been away for 13 years (geeze I can't believe I can say I have been out of college that long - ok, let's not speak of that again!), I don't mind the shows. Especially since it makes Dad happy. We went to the Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, Starlite Theater to see Moe Bandy, and we visited the Veterans Memorial Museum (which meant a lot to my Dad who is a veteran). After this, and many pit stops for food and souveniers, we were all ready to head back home.
When I got back home, the husband was soon coming home with a brand new dog; Apollo. Apollo, although a beautiful dog, and a super worker, did not make it as the new drug tracking dog on the unit. He had an amazing nose, but for some reason he was very scared and was overly cautious around people; which made it very hard to concentrate on his job. We all fell in love with him and it absolutely broke our hearts to have to send him back. I cried for 2 weeks and swore I would never fall in love with the next K9 brought into my house; I had learned my lesson the hard way. I have prayed that he is with a good family or good department, and it still breaks my heart to think of him. Here is sweet Apollo; oh how I still miss that sweet boy!
During this same time, Mom moved in with us, the husband was given another K9 dog (another story all together!), and I began more fertility testing! I think this is a good time for a break...to be continued with much more and more photos! I'm determined to catch up to the present tense by this weekend; I have so much to post! :)
