Getting excited for our Texas trip!

Two days from now we leave for Texas!  Of course I'm excited to go meet our new dog (new name still undetermined) but I'm also excited for all the fun that is planned the short time we are there!

It'll be a whirlwind of a trip leaving here Thursday after Thanksgiving lunch and returning Sunday afternoon.  We hope to get to Baton Rouge on Thursday night and then arrive in Brenham, TX by 2 or 3pm the next day.  At that point we'll get to meet some online friends Kim Dostie and her husband.  We've emailed back and forth a few times over the years but have never met in person.  And Jack will get to meet Terri as well.  Terri I had met a few years back.  We plan to play with dogs that afternoon doing both herding and disc dog stuff.  Groovy is coming along and will get to work the sheep.  She hasn't seen any since early October and it's supposed to be 50 something degrees so it could be a rather insane event!  :)  We'll finish off the evening with dinner out.

Saturday morning we get to do more herding and then we'll take off around 1pm heading back home.  We might get to see our disc dog friend Brian Muck at some point as he is going to try and come out (he already herds at Terri's on a regular basis).  And apparently at various points throughout our short time there we will get to meet a variety of other folks who love Fern (our new dog's current name) and want to meet her new family!  Apparently she comes with a pre-installed fan club!  LOL  No pressure there!

It should be fun and I can't wait!
