The Unit

My very good friend Dave is the Effects Supervisor on The Unit. Chewie thinks it's boring.

Shhhh! Don't tell mom I'm on the couch!

Walk

The weather has been really great the last few days, especially nice since the kids are all on break for a couple of weeks. We went with Sean and Lynette and their kids and dogs with our dogs down to Seatoun beach.


the kids can't stop climbing up stuff


or climbing down stuff

and the doggies love to play in the ocean


There's lots cool stuff to see

When we got back, we had some knackered doggies

The kids still had so much energy, some of them reached critical mass

BBQ followed


and to make sure the day wasn't a total loss, I lost the car keys at the beach, but it was OK since the spare set was in the truck ... the locked truck that I could unlock ... if I only had some keys.

Family

We are finally, after seven months, a family again. We picked up the dogs on Saturday. I think it's going to take Zipper about seven more months to calm down. I'm pretty confident they are very happy to be 'home'.

Quarrantine

Got to see the dogs yesterday for a little while. I don't think that I've ever seen them quite that excited before. When we had to go, Chewie ran right to the door like he's saying, "OK guyz! Let's go!" They didn't quite get why they weren't leaving as well. The place seems nice enough, but it's not very big, and they don't have anywhere to run about. It sucks, but only one more month.

Doggies are in Los Angeles and are set to fly out tomorrow night and arrive in Wellington Friday Morning. They'll be in Quarantine for thirty days. Those of us that don't have jobs are going to rent a bach ("batch" (stupid name for a vacation house)) ,in Levin where the dogs are, for two weeks so that they can see them every day. They only have to be isolated from other dogs. Fingers and paws crossed all around please.

If everything stays on target the doggies will fly out of the Atl tomorrow. We're all quite worried about them and just want the whole thing to be done with. Many props to STFU&GWTW-in-law for putting them up and putting up with them for six months.
