I am so mad, i lost a bunch of posts that didin't go on and weren't saved in the drafts.  Will try to briefly catch you up.  We left Oak Harbor, went up to Burlington.  Left the car (the little old Kia Sportage we bought to tow behind the motorhome) to be fitted with tow stuff.  Then after a nite there we headed to Everett where i saw my md and picked up the girls (Annie and her sister Sam).  They followed us in their car to Argus Training Ranch in Auburn where we went to a three day dog show we hit every year.  Its a big deal for us.  Iris got a Total Dog Award one day (which we have been chasing for 5 years)  which means she placed in a conformation class (she has one of 5 needed to get her Grand Championship) and she placed in a performance sport (agility and rally). Its hard to do and its a meaningful award.  Annie did the conformation, i did the rest and Iris did it all. :)
I will post more tomorrow.
