Road Trip

Dot, freshly groomed and lounging at the hotel

We are in Lincoln, NE, for the Artistic Roller Skating Nationals.  My daughter Meredith is competing in singles and pairs events.  Photos are here if you're interested.  It is HOT!  Temperatures have been well over 100. On Monday, our car thermometer said 109!  Actual temp was around 106.

Dot is with up on this trip.  We had intended to take Dash, as she is easier to travel with, however, Dot's blood sugar dropped to around 40 and we wanted to monitor her sugar levels.  Dash and Jack are at the kennel and Dot is with us.  She's having a great time being an only dog.  I've had an opportunity to work with her on heeling and the touch game.  She's doing well with both.  I will try to post a video later.

Jim and Dot have been staying at the hotel, as it's too hot at the "Icebox" practice rink.  It really should be named the "Oven" as it's not air conditioned.  Otherwise we've been in and out of the room, but mostly, someone is here.  Dot loves the attention and is being very good.
