Today Is The Day

Sir Red Ryder Ralphie is HOME!!

Rusty and I picked up Ralphie today!  It was a nice ride out to Lakeland, FL.  We stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch on our way there.  We got Ralphie around 2pm.  Ralphie slept some of the way coming home.  He cuddled in a blanket on the car floor after enjoying his teething ring.  Everything went well until about the last 10 minutes of our drive.  Rusty was rubbing/scratching Ralphie's sides and back and then poor Ralphie threw up on Rusty's lap.  I'm not sure if it was the teething ring that upset his stomach or Rusty rubbing his sides which shook up his stomach.  Ralphie seemed relieved afterwards and okay.  I couldn't stop laughing at Rusty...his expression with the glob of throw-up in his lap.  But he took it well, went with the flow, and wasn't mad.  Things happen.

I was really concerned about Ollie and Ralphie getting along...well it's going to be a work in progress.  Ralphie is just too playful for Ollie to handle.  Ollie is almost 13 and hasn't had this much excitement in a long time.  He's barking and barking a lot at Ralphie.  Of course he growled at Ralphie a few times to tell him to settle down and quit bugging him.  Hopefully Ollie will get used to Ralphie and begin to love each other.

Fun with Ralphie and Ollie...
