Welcome Home, Kippers!
We’re HOME! Kip, Paul and I all got home about an hour ago. Emmalee welcomed her new little brother with open paws!
We left the house this morning at around 5:45 a.m. to be at Plymouth, NH, by 9 a.m. I drove both ways. I do better when I’m driving than when I’m the nervous-nellie passenger. I hate highway riding.
Today couldn’t have been nicer weather. The heat wave cleared out, and the skies were all blue. We arrived in Plymouth at the appointed Irving’s Gas Station at about 8 a.m. with an hour to spare. Better early than late. The Savages and Kip rolled in around 8:50 or so. We all met, and chatted there for a while. We gave Kip some treats (he’d thrown up on the 2-hour ride down from northern Vermont to mid-New Hampshire) so him tummy was pretty empty. He was so darn cute!
Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera, but since we’ve been home, I’ve snapped several pics of him and one is shown above and another below (click it for larger views).
He’s running all over the house and Emmalee is having so much fun. She is smiling and wagging her tail for the first time in 3 weeks. It’s been very dour around our cottage these last few weeks, and today there are smiles again.
Welcome home, our Kipper!
Cheers,
Bex
