Thanks Galvyork.....the camper issue will work itself out in time. It's not that big of a deal for me now although I sure loved the thing. I'm not sure at this point that I'll make it out of here this month but I do know one hundred percent that I'll be back on the road before winter gets here. I'm taking it one day at a time.....
I was out walking the dogs in the same field where I would take Montana prior to his recent death. A woman that lived nearby came out to the edge of the field and said something like "you might want to know that the developer that owns this land has been putting out poison to kill the ground squirrels". Of course I had no idea and immediately exited the property. Now that got me to thinking about Montana and how quickly he died. I did a Google search of poisons, and I found that Montana displayed some of the same symptoms the day he passed that are consistent with poisoning. I never understood, nor accepted, that he could be perfect one day, and then not more than (24) hours later, be dead from cancer. In my mind, at this moment, he died from poisoning, and the cancer was discovered while they looked for causes for his symptoms. I believe he was misdiagnosed, although I'm certain he had cancer.....
Yet life goes on.....although it's often a struggle without my best buddy. I was back up in the mountains for a few days of camping and exploring the forests. It's always good to get out from this reality, escape from the city, and be where we belong.....
We found a great campsite along the edge of the creek bank.....
Tanner practiced his agility on the logs and rocks.....
I've never seen a deer so inquisitive. He actually came closer to us the more Yukon barked. Tanner is quickly learning the word "deer" and that you need to bark insanely whenever you see one.....
