While Jason was en-route home, Natalie took me back into San Francisco that Sunday (the day Jason was originally supposed to come home) and we went to the vet (not fun) and the beach (a lot of fun!) We then stayed in a SF hotel that night and started our drive south the next morning.
(Here I am enjoying my last run at Crissy Field for a couple of years!)
(At the Coffee House in SF with Natalie after the beach!)
After a brief stint at the SF courthouse (Natalie needed to get a police record for her entrance into Geneva), Natalie and I started driving to Creston, CA, which is where Jason’s parents live.
It was quite restful and enjoyable when we got to Creston. I had three other dogs to play with and Jason’s parents (Mike and Kathleen) house and backyard is very comfortable. For dinner, Natalie, Mike and Kathleen had steak and potatoes and they were gracious enough to offer me and the other dogs some leftovers.
After Jason called from San Diego (he made it home!) and a very peaceful nights sleep, Natalie and I were off to San Diego the next morning to meet up with Jason and see more of his family and friends.
We met up with Jason that afternoon in San Diego and drove to Jason’s best friend’s home in Escondido. Jason’s friend’s names are Tom and Melissa and they have a 3 year old son named Charlie. They also have an English bulldog, Wilbur. Wilbur and I had a brief meeting; however, I don’t think he was too keen on another canine in his house (I’m the same way when other dogs are in my house, so, I completely understand.) Needless to say, we spent the evening and next morning apart.
That evening, Jason and Natalie had dinner at Il Fornaio in Del Mar with Jason’s aunts and uncles who live in San Diego. Since Jason and Natalie thought it was best they brought me along, I hung out in the car while they ate rigatoni and risotto and when they got back from dinner they introduced me to their aunts and uncles. They were very nice people and were being quite cordial to me. However, I was a bit shy. I know I should be more outgoing, but I sometimes struggle with meeting new people.
The next morning, after Jason and Natalie had a tasty breakfast of “Papa-Toast” (this is Charlie’s term for pancakes) and great conversation with Tom and Melissa we set off for Phoenix – the next stop along our journey.
Paws,
Sabrina
