Related: About this forumOut and About Away From Home Overnight. Shadow stayed and slept-over with friends.
My wife and I attended our granddaughter's H.S. graduation. It was nice.
Afterwards we stayed the night with our good friend Karen. We met Ellie and Winnie. Ellie, at left, is four years old. She came from Ukraine. Karen's had her
for two years. Winnie is three. She came from Karen’s breeder since Winnie’s guardians could not take her to Texas when they moved.
Next morning we started home and passed this message on the freeway.
Nearing home we crossed over the Columbia River at Vantage, WA.
Turning into our driveway we were greeted by an excited Puppy Dog.

The adoptee from Ukraine has blossomed here in the states.

(6,537 posts)how is the bridge at Vantage? Is traffic still one way? we will be going over to Montana soon and deciding whether to go through Vantage or up Over North Cascades Hwy.
Love your doggie pics, looks like you have a wonderful place in Ellensburg.

(8,011 posts)We have been blessed living here in central Washington state. We are, however, having to move to just north of Spokane, much nearer to our daughter and granddaughter. Thank You for liking Shadow's pics! She has given us eight years of joy. If you'd be interested to check her out, she has a photo archive in DU. Be happy to advise.
Wish you all safe travels, good trip to Montana.
