Addy's first vacation

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my photo album from Addy's first vacation. http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0CaOHLVyzZsnGw
We took Addy, along with Trixie and Zoey, South of the Border, down Mexico way. This was Addy's first really long ride in a vehicle, about 8 hours, and she was an absolute angel. Then again, she usually is. She did get sick on the way down through the winding switchback road of the Salt River Canyon, but was fine on the way back. I was driving on the trip back...that's all I'm sayin'. :o)
We've had Addy for almost 4 months now and she's been doing very well, but is a changed girl after this trip. She was really scared and shaking when we put her in her crate in the car; she's usually not crated in the car, so maybe she associated that with going to another home yet again? But after we got to the Mexico casa and unpacked she settled in nicely. Although one strange behavior - we had to wash her bedding when we got there, and she DID NOT like the smell of someone else's laundry soap. At bedtime, she was curled up under the chair next to her crate, and she LOVES her crate. She got used to it pretty quickly though. It's too comfy to resist.
We took nightly walks along the tidal flats after the tide went out and she loved that, but doesn't like the water. So of course her minion (me) picked her up to cross the tidal channels, and she squirmed when she wanted down.
When we got home to Show Low, Addy walked in, sniffed her day bed, snuggled her stuffed monkey, snuggled her blankie, and went about her business. I guess Goldilocks wanted to make sure nobody was sleeping in HER bed when she was gone. Since we got back home, she has a different relationship with the other two girls. She was zooming in the yard after Trixie yesterday, and was actually jumping and playing with Trixie and Zoey this morning. It makes my heart feel big when I see her like that. It really is true the more love you have, the more you have to share!
Maybe in the future, a sis her size???
