This week I have noticed how much of my time seems to be slipping away from me as of late. My ability to reference how much time has passed, how long ago I did something, and what all I did (say yesterday, for example) is not the greatest, so I may not be as accurate as I would like to be.
Last weekend, I drove across Texas to my hometown of Houston, which was a rather long and boring drive. My husband was supposed to go with me since he had a long weekend, but they decided to put him on call so he couldn't leave the area. The drive would have gone way faster had he been able to go, but that's always the case with road trips. Thankfully, I was able to see not only my family, but his family (even if only for a little bit). I'm so grateful to have a good relationship with my in-laws since apparently that's one of the top issues that arises within marriages. Maybe that's a good blog post topic for another day.
Back to the story: My main reason for visiting my in-laws was to pick up the newest member of our family, Kruella, which I decided to shorten to Ella for obvious reasons.
Now that I have had her for a week now (Mike has been out in the field doing army stuff), I have a better feel for her than I did at my in-laws house. She also did really well on the drive and spent most of the time staring out of the window. The getting out of the car for gas and bathroom breaks was a completely different story.
We will definitely have to work on her barking at new people, other dogs, walking on a leash without pulling the whole time, and listening (this she has gotten a whole lot better at thankfully). Overall I'm glad to have her, even if she can't bear to be apart from anyone for very long.
