Dog park adventure days and boob tube nights with ventures into resale shops and hardware stores now occupy our time until approval arrives for the mold remediation.  Ribbit is once again in good health so we are free to explore.  We spent parts of the last few days removing things from the back bedroom to prep for the remediation and washing all the bedding.

Occasional rain showers are scheduled for the next few days but have, so far, not been disruptive to our plans.  St. Vincent De Paul is the major charity and assistance league in the area and their resale shops are everywhere.  Anything we have needed, dog blankets and bowls, they have had for pennies on the dollar.

Millie is thoroughly enjoying her time at the local dog parks, KatieBug is enjoying chasing after new friends and we are enjoying finding new places to explore on our way to the dog parks.

At the first Inn, the room smelled horrid so we are moving in the morning.  Found another place, no up charge for pets, clean rugs, nice size room, no smell and less cost. It’s in front of a park and has a small lake with loads of ducks and geese so the pups can watch their rocket landings from our window.

Had another tiny pity party wishing we were back in the Woodlands.  It would have been easier to stride through misfortunes when surrounded by friends and family.  Ah, well…this too shall pass.

Eugene is very proud of their Ducks, the sports teams of the University of Oregon.  Huge O’s, green and yellow cars/trucks/van’s, yellow statues of ducks and even green and yellow RV’s are everywhere.  Whenever wild ducks waddle across the roads, traffic stops in both directions.
