Here’s Rusty on the couch in our new, temporary abode in Washington, DC. He’s been amazing about the move–he wasn’t fazed by the removal of our stuff from the apartment, or the huge numbers of unfamiliar people who were in it, or the drive to the airport, or being locked up in a crate (well, I’m sure he got lonely after several hours, but he bore it with good grace until we were reunited at Dulles). What a trouper! He is still a bit tired from the journey and dealing with all the changes. He’s very interested in exploring the neighborhood, but he knows this isn’t “home.” He likes to look out the window, but he’s just observing, not being vigilant as he was when the view out the window was his realm. We all miss Marlot and the bos. Walking on city sidewalks, even in the leafy residential areas, is not the same, and we can’t let him off the leash. We have met two other Airedales in the local park and will try to get photos soon.
Farewell to Marlot, October 7, 2010
Welcome back to the States! Glad to hear that Rusty made the trip well.
Yes, welcome! (Sorry I’m so late chiming in. Haven’t been monitoring my favorite blogs lately.) We have friends here in the Grove with two Airedales and a fenced yard; bet they’d love to meet Rusty when you come for a visit.
