I can tell this trip is really wearing out my normally very yappy pups. Their woofs at the other dogs, just don’t have the pizazz and excitement they normally have. Junebug, most of the time, isn’t even looking at the passing dogs when she barks. It’s not even a bark, more of a bubbling action. Blurp blurp blurp. I wasn’t sure how they would do on such a long trip, but I am happy to say they have been fantastic to have around. I don’t feel bad when I leave them behind in the RV for excursions they can’t join us on because they are usually happy to have a bit of quiet time to rest. Plus they have AC. I hope these pups don’t get too spoiled with all this action. We won’t go on another long trip like this until maybe next Spring. With all the trouble we have had I am still daydreaming about our next trip. I was thinking the Southwest in Spring.

It’s no secret that me and love don’t mix.
Not after it schemed to rip my heart out and leave me a single father.
The biggest question I have is what to do with forever now that my wife is gone.
As much as I hate it, it’s time for a break from my famous life.
A year off to spend time with my little girl is what the doctor ordered.
Giggles, smiles, and tons of ice cream for the two of us.
And somehow, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen runs the ice-cream parlor.
But getting involved isn’t a choice.
Not even when my little girl falls head over heels for this woman that’s stealing my every thought.
No matter how much I want to give up everything for the curvy girl that’s rocking my world day and night.
She deserves far more than me, but I’m just selfish enough to want to deny her another lover.
To take up residence in her heart and stay.
It gets even more serious when I find myself playing her fake boyfriend to her uppity mother.
It’s a part I’d love to play daily.
The promise of healing, love, and a big family have me running fast and hard because that same question plays over and over again…
What if fate takes her away too?
