Joe and LeeAnn will leave from IL on Friday and be here on Saturday. We are looking forward to the visit. I'll still have to work, but will get to spend time with them each evening. May get to take Joe fishing somewhere and drive them up over one of the passes (12,000 ft) to see a few mountains and breath some clean air (if they can breath at that elevation).
On the following Friday, they will start driving back to IL and Heather will be driving along with them for a 2 week visit back home. She will go to Lacey's wedding at Gulf Shores while visiting. I will fly into Nashville at about 10:20 pm August 7th, stay at mom and dad's Friday and Saturday, then start driving back with Heather and the kids Sunday.
While Heather is gone I'm getting a new pup from the same parents Bow came from. I wish I could have him now, but the owners are coming to CO on the 30th and considering gas prices, I'll let them deliver. The pup will be 15 weeks old by the time he shows up. Owners have already brought him in to start crate training and they are working with him on retrieving, so we should still be ok. I'll have to kennel him at the vet when I fly to IL. It costs too much for him to fly with me.
The kids do not know we are getting him, so it will be a nice surprise when they get back to CO. We all miss Bow quite a bit. He was a great dog and could have had a really great future with grouse hunting.
