I’m sure she’ll be fine once she has a wee rest. Flying is exhausting.

Canine sulking is an art form. You have to be punished for all you have put her through - until she sees where Boggle lives and gets over her jet lag

Mine sulks when we get back from holiday she is fine after a few days, she will be her old self in no time I'm glad you finally have her with you.

So glad she's arrived safely and hope you've had a good drive back.
Agree with the others, give it a couple of days and it will all be fine again. Mine also punishes me hugely and refuses to even acknowledge me if I go away without her. They come pre-programmed to know how to make us feel incredibly guilty

She’s been through some pretty major disruption so I’m sure she’ll feel a bit out of sorts and you’ve built this new life without her so far, so it’ll likely take a wee while for you both to get back into the swing of being together again and then it’ll be fine.

You should see how grumpy I am after a transatlantic flight ...
She's going to be so excited to be with you once she settles in!

Much better today. I think I’m freaking out less! It was so strange I just got this huge feeling that I’d made a big mistake. Taking her from her life etc. but I had that exact feeling the days after with Boggle in the days after.
Nearly back in Colorado (thank god- Texas is definitely not on my list of places to live!)

Once all the travelling is done, and you’re both rested up - she’s going to love the walkies. Imagine all of the new sniffs!

Thanks everyone. This is a rubbish journey too the wind is so strong it’s chucking the car around so not very comfortable. White knuckles!
Stopping to see a trailer on the way back though which is cool, fingers crossed it’s in as good nick as it looks.

Your housemates are adorable!
It’s lovely to see Pepper again, looking forward to following your adventures together (and Boggles).

Aren't they just! I really need to go and get my own "proper" place, although this basement apartment is great, but it's hard because we all get on so well.

Waffled a lot!
Is there no chance of staying there?

There’s not very much or really any natural light. Which bothers me as I love working at a table with it streaming in! Whilst I’m very welcome in their area any time I am used to living alone and do feel I need my own space etc.
I only intended to stay a month or two and am still here but I think in another few months the light thing will become a bit of a bummer. I know it sounds silly but given I work from home a lot it’s fairly important to me!

Michen I had no idea you worked from home.
You seem to be travelling all the time
Glad Pepper is safe with you

I work from home in the sense I’m not office based. So when I’m seeing clients I am travelling which usually but not always involves a plane. My next work trip at the moment isn’t until the last week in march. Really varies!

So lovely that she has arrived safely. What was the Boggle/Pepper reaction like when they first saw each other?

Great to have her between boggles ears again. And a huge herd of elk behind her!

She can around the barn trails although they are minimal. I’m in two minds re the roads by the barn. On one hand they are so much wider than the UK so I actually feel they are safer as you are less at risk of an idiot hitting you on a bend who’s come too fast. On the other hand the traffic is bigger and noisier. I think I will, but probably only in summer at 5am type thing. Although the traffic probably isn’t any more frequent than the country lanes we were on, it feels more serious somehow!
The other trails we go on she can’t really come on as dogs need to be on leads, whilst I would have her off lead anyway (as anyone does here with a well behaved dog) if there was no one around etc and it was a safe area ie no rattle snakes in spring summer, I’d want to be able to put her straight back on one which I can’t do from the back of a horse.
So it won’t be quite as lovely as the UK where we could go for hours together etc but it’ll mean I need to do my own exercise with her more outside of riding Bog so that’ll be good

It’s amazing. Ten mins from Boggle. Can’t wait to take him here when the snow has gone.

Pepper looks like she’s settled in as well as Bog did. You must be very happy to have her there
