Sticking Around For Another Day

We decided to stay here in Missoula for another day.  Two reasons:  1) We want to try and find a vet tomorrow and get Miss Maggie some anti-anxiety meds before we get on the road.  2) Neither Roger nor I feel tip top.  We are pretty exhausted, actually.  A combination of still not sleeping well and the heat.  We don't want to be on the road with the rig unless we feel good.  So, hopefully, another day of real rest will take care of that problem.  

Today was laundry and shopping - we hit the regulars: Target, grocery, Lowe's, and Costco.  "Lowe's?" you ask.  Yep, bought a screen protector for the door.  (She hasn't harmed it since the re-screen, but you never know. We will be prepared for the next time.)

Maggie and I had a bit of a rude awakening at 3am night before last!    She woke me up and wouldn't give up so I figured she needed to go out.  Now, she's not had this issue in the middle of the night since the first month we had her, so it was kinda weird that she wouldn't go back to bed.  I put on a sweatshirt, my sandals, grabbed a flashlight and her lead and opened the door.  We got down to the bottom of the steps and got blasted with a sprinkler!  Both of us got totally soaked!  It was a bit of a shocker.  So, last night, she did the same thing at about 3am.  I ended up going in the living room with her and she crawled up on the couch with me.  Seems that is the time they turn on the sprinklers and she hears it hitting the side of the RV and it spooks her!  If I had figured that out the first night, I wouldn't have had to go hunting for new PJ bottoms in the middle of the night!

So, tomorrow, the vet and rest.
