Saturday May 9th~

Embrace the glorious mess that you are

 and remember, You are your best thing...

 Sniff and I made it safely to Branson.  Sniff was 

so good in the plane.  He hardly uttered a sound.  I was 

so surprised, but happy. When travelling with a pet one

 has to make the line to check in.  It took us two hours

 to just check in.  The airport was packed.  Hundreds 

and hundreds of people in tiny Punta Gorda Airport.

I was awake at 1:30 in the morning just to make 

sure Sniff did not suspect anything, that he ate and 

used the litter pan before we got into the Uber.  Sniff 

ate, and used the litter.  He's a really good boy. 

Once Arvid picked us up, he got very excited

 but was quiet throughout the remainder of 

the ride home.  As soon as we got home, Sniff

 wanted foodies.  He ate and within minutes he

 also used the litter pan again. Best lil boy.

Both Sniff and I were so tired. All we wanted to

 do was just have something to eat and collapse in

 bed. Arvid and I went out for lunch and once we got 

home all I wanted to do was absolutely nothing.

Within a few hours we look at each other and Arvid 

says to me,”I ran out of things to do.  What shall 

we do?”  Now I was even more tired. I said to him,

"how about we go out and meet up with Roger?”

  At that same moment Roget called Arvid to see

 if we were coming at the usual hangout.  Within 

minutes I got dressed again and off we went.  

I only stayed out an hour, came back home 

showered and laid down in bed.  Arvid stayed ou

t a little longer with Roger and some others. 

Sniff in the meantime made himself at home 

revisiting his favorite spots.  He sure remembers 

all his places. He enjoyed his first day stalking

 birds and just running up and down the steps. 

It was a perfect first day for Sniff and I 

back in Branson. The weather is just perfect. I

 can tell this will be a great summer in Branson. 

We already have plans to do a few things.  

The morning began beautifully with birds for Sniff 

and I.  We even saw our first cardinal.  Definitely

 as my mom said, "a good sign."  To all a happy day.

Life isn't as serious as

 the mind makes it out to be...
