We got that wedding over and done with in record time. It went off without a hitch which is surprising since there was no time to plan. That it a testament to the bride's parents that we met for the first time the day before the wedding. I have to say they are outstanding 'in-laws.' How many can say that? My Son is very blessed.
We made it back home from Arizona about 12:30 AM Sunday morning. Just under 14 hours straight through driving. It was harder coming home that heading out. That was due to the combination of all the things that had transpired over the last 2-3 days. Yes, we drove straight through to Mesa, Az. from our home. No time at all to take in the things I wanted to see in that area. But that is mostly a good thing. It is just too freaking hot there. It was also an issue for Buster, since we had to take him with us. There is almost no grass anywhere you go there. That makes it very hard on his paws in that heat. WE tried to let him out every chance we could while travelling, but he was miserable when we stopped for gas in Tucson. He just sat a looked us, no place to get off the hot pavement in 106* heat.
Poor guy. We stayed in a La Quinta, they are pet friendly, and they are very accommodating. he was still pretty anxious about everything and you could tell he was worried every time one of left the room. He is a herder and his herd wasn't together. We did take some anti anxiety pills we got from the vet and they worked pretty well but I hate what it does to him. Over all he was an excellent traveling companion. But it was very hard on his 13 year old bones and it is telling today. He is getting some pain meds as I post.
There are a lot of issues that Son #2 has to deal with having to split time between to homes until they are able to move to one place once her teaching contract is up at the end of the year. They have some challenges to meet but they are up to it.
We missed service this morning for the first time I can remember in years for something other than illness,it feels weird, but we were just worn out and will go tonight. So, I'm cutting this short today, I hope to be back up to speed tomorrow and I can fill you in on what's going on here in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and it's effects here locally in my neck of the woods.
Happy Trails

Glad y'all made it okay, and feel sorry for the pup, but needs must. Hopefully he's better now that he's home.
Old NFO-thanks, he seems better more relaxed and the pain meds have kicked in
