False Start

Well today was going to be the day we move into our new apartment. The owner was going to call around 10:30 and check out time was 11. So in high anticipation we moved everything out of our room and nearly checked out... when Naomi got the call and it was not going to happen today.... oh by the way she was off today.

So it looks like after 10 tomorrow we should be able to move in no problem... We moved back into the hotel with just the necessities.

We did make a day of it by driving around our new city looking for parks and going back to mound park... i.e. the one with all the castles/ towers. The boys had fun playing and the dogs got brushed while we were there. We left the park and dropped the dogs and cats off at the hotel room.

For lunch we stopped at pizza hut just barely hitting the buffet, and to our suprise we met Gail, Tim, Angie, and Terri, from the clinic. After lunch we came back and all took a much needed nap...

One more night... I hope....

Hotel Life

Well its been 2 days since Naomi started and so far things are going well. She is learning the system and had the honors of being perceived as a super vet.... As the clinic was over booked today by quite a bit and Monday was not slow either as She didn't make it home till after 7pm....

I on the other hand caught a case of fever and was nothing more than bed ridden on Monday, luckily for me the boys were in good moods and didn't mind staying in... The pool here is closed do to a chemical issue but the Manager said it was nothing but BS from the health inspector and she has had trouble with him before... He seems to be taking his time... She said the pool was fine and if we wanted to sneak in after 4:30 or so she didn't have a problem with that.

Today the boys and I went to the large park down in Portsmouth and they had a lot of fun... The play area was made of wood and had several castles and bridges and such. I forgot the camera so no pictures...

I will be glad when we can finally move into a permanent residence not that I don't like the Hotel but it is quite cramped for 2 cats, 2 dogs, the boys and us... The animals are doing quite nicely though and you'd think the cats had lived here for years... I guess after the trip here there isn't much new you can through at them.

Made it to Ohio

We made it to OHIO.... We left about 12:30pm on Thursday the 12th and stopped for a hour and a half nap at 6am Friday morning just past Indianapolis. We were about an 80 miles form Portsmouth when I got seperated from Naomi, I thought the sign said US 52 crossed the river... So I went across the river and it was HWY 62 so Naomi continued East on 52 and I tried taking some Kentucky Hwys and got lost in the hills. Luckily Some saw me driving in circles and stopped to give me directions. So I made it about 15 min after Naomi... good thing they don't patrol those state roads... as I drove a little faster than the speed limit to make up time.

We are staying in the Holiday Inn Express as the apartment we where supposed to be moving into is now not going to be available until the 21st... Gail, Tim and his wife Crystal have been real helpful through this situation. Last night they brought what seems like half of the grocery store so we would have food to eat... The boys got started right away and ate an entire box of fruit snacks.

The Hotel knows us as the dog bandits because they do not allow pets but made an exception for us. Everyone got to meet the dogs yesterday when Naomi left to meet Gail, Tim and Crystal, Jonathan wanted to go with mommy. While I was on the phone, Jonathan decided he would go down there too and opened the door. Dodger and Jasmine where waiting for this opportunity and slipped out the door, running down the hallway and then down the stairs. I called Naomi and she caught them before they went outside...

So we are semi homeless but are managing thanks to everyone.
