One of those little girls had taken a liking to jet and was pretty upset as we were getting ready to leave. She ran across the yard barefoot (on Christmas day) , grabbed a horse by its mane and jumped on it bare back and took off.
They're country.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.
I brought the damn van thinking "eh, it's just a little gravel..." and it would make putting a kennel in and getting him home 100 times easier. I didn't realize that it was unimproved mountain roads. I'm sitting there putting minivan wheels on pieces of brush to keep the undercarriage from scraping. It was rock-climbing in a Pacifica w/ low profile tires. I don't recommend it. To get back out I plugged my address in (I'd come from KC on Monday after the Chiefs game) and both my phone and the van's GPS sent me UP the mountain. Okay...they matched so I went. I get to top of the road and there's a homestead or something there and the road just ends. I get out and walk around and am looking and every bit of technology I have swears to me there's a road there and there just....isn't. So I backtracked through to the little town at the base of the gravel and went the circuitous route that actually, y'know, had a
road.
It's funny you mention the girl. She's 9ish now and Jodi said she always picks a favorite out of every litter. Sure enough, mine was her favorite as well. They were out sledding when I came to pick him up and as we were filling out the paperwork the girls got home so she came running over with him and loved on him before we left. Evidently the guy before me couldn't bring himself to take my boy because "I don't want to take her puppy". I said "well hell, somebody's gonna so it might as well be me..."
She did not, however, blast across the pasture on a horse...
