| Montana May 2018 | |
| In late May, we made our 3-day
      drive from OKC to Montana.  We have done the drive so many times now
      that it's hard to tell one trip from another, except that this year we
      threw a dog into the mix.  That made things interesting, especially
      for our 3 cats!  Here are some pictures of our trip to Montana and of
      the animals as they settled in there. | |
|  |   Three days of very close quarters for the dog and cats went better than expected. | 
| On the 3-day drive to Montana, these two mortal enemies found common ground. | |
|  |  | 
| Here the gray cats tussle over sharing this carrier. | An uneasy peace is reached. | 
|  | |
| Contentment finally reigns over the cat carrier. | |
|   Here we are! We arrived to find everything looking beautiful. 
 Warning - the following pictures are ALL of our pets. Don't say I didn't warn you! | |
|  |  | 
| Buddy adjusted to the screened porch immediately. | Here he is, off leash and running for all he's worth. He's had such fun running the hills. | 
|  |  | 
| Adventure dog! | He can leap cow patties with a single bound. | 
|   Looking over his domain. |  | 
| I left this picture extra large so you can see the stare down between him and the deer. | |
|  |  | 
| My dog-training book says, "Dogs WILL get up to
  shenanigans."  Some of Buddy's shenanigans involve shredding paper products. | I threw this blanket over an old cat bed for him, but he acts
  like he's going to get in trouble for using it. | 
|  This is him, popping up under the keyboard tray in our Oklahoma house. He isn't good at waiting for me to finish using the computer. |  | 
| Making himself comfortable in what used to be Lily's favorite spot on the couch. | |
|  |   Buddy watching out the car window, on deer patrol no doubt. | 
| This is a big deal - for 3 months, Lily wouldn't be in the same room with Buddy. | |
|  |  | 
| We have a tall office chair in Montana that is the #1 cat
  bed.  Here Lily tries to force Rocket to relinquish it. | All Feisty needs is a cardboard box to make her happy, and
  thanks to Amazon, we have LOTS of them! | 
|   Buddy & me riding in the truck in Montana. |  | 
| On one of our many walks around the property. | |
|   Here he is with a green neck after rolling in horse poo. |  | 
| This is Buddy lying across my foot rest of my stand-up desk. Trying to get attention however he can manage it. | |
|  |  | 
| I was having my morning quiet time, but somehow it turned into
  my morning "pet Buddy" time. | I told Eric he should really stop putting his guns in what is
  obviously a dog bed. |
