A beautiful face and eyes with lots of "character".....and a "character" with a beautiful face.....
Halo is already doing her job!!.....that is not the face of someone that just had been having such a difficult day

Thanks all! I have lots of pics and a few stories to share of our travels and St Louis at night. I’ll try to post them soon!

What they said! Looking forward to Halo stories and pics.

Great picture of a beautiful pup and beautiful you!

It will probably take a couple posts to get everyone caught up on recent happenings.

We have steers and heifers tied up today. I’m scheduled to be at work but on call. Making frequent trips back and forth to the barn and in and out with Halo to keep up with her potty training.

We left Friday at 3:20 to make the drive to St. Louis to pick up Halo. It was supposed to be a 5.5 hr drive. We should’ve be there at 7:30-8 their time. Traveling with kids led to arriving at 9:30. Of course we couldn’t just grab the pup and go. We visited, saw Halo’s older sister do tricks, met both of Halo’s parents, and signed paperwork, etc. Our kids also stretched their legs. Driving home got difficult about 2:30 am their time when DD2 couldn’t handle being in her car seat any longer so we stopped at a hotel. The original plan was for drive straight through. We ended up getting home at about 2:15 in the afternoon.

Sunset in Illinois.



St. Louis Arch at night.


A bridge we crossed...I didn’t catch the name of it.


A Missouri gravel road. We had to take one after another for several miles to get to their farm.

Halo did pretty well staying in the hotel and still hasn’t had an accident. She wasn’t sure about riding on the elevator but adjusted fine otherwise.

Different ways Halo slept on the way home. I didn’t include any from riding with the kids.

Halo made her first stop at Rural King in Jeffersonville on the way home to get some toys. Of course the kids each had to pick her one!


She’s seemed to adjust well to her new home. She has a crate in our huge bathroom and the blanket in it has been rubbed on her Sam and previous owner before we left with her.


Playing outside.


Enjoying her toy!


Post-bath...she appears quite sad. It wasn’t her favorite. She also got blow dried!


Puppies sleep in some of the funniest positions and places! She’s got her head hanging off her dog bed.


Playing with her killer whale toy.


We’ve also let her taste peanut butter and she keeps trying to figure out her Kong toy that we put some in.

She appears to be adjusting really well.

When we went to pick up Lance when he was 14 weeks old. Sassy was in the back seat of the truck and when we put him back there with her, she turned her back and put her head against the side window looking out and stayed that way for the whole 4 hour trip. You could see the body language saying DON'T TOUCH ME to the pup.

Thanks for the pics. She sure looks comfy in the vehicle. Grats again on getting her. I well remember traveling cross country with young kids. I tried to do most driving over night so they could sleep and less traffic.

Halo looks pretty chill on the ride home! Probably the best plan to do the hotel stop. Frankly just the 11 hours of PLANNED driving in one day would be too much for me. And too much for my kids when they were the age of yours, or now at 23 & 25.
