Traveling Tawnee!!

Tawnee's first job on the truck was to clean up the floor from her grandma Gretchen tipped over the food dish and food rolled into the cracks on the floor. Next morning they are off to Sumner Washington to get a loaded trailer from Target and drive it down to Dallas Texas.

Traveling Gretchen to Wisconsin

M and Gretchen needed to reset their hours after driving all the way across the country. Spent alot of time catching up on sleep and playing video games.

Traveling Gretchen

Yep that's right the Traveling pups have been changed again. Emma only got to do one run. Since Gretchen was coming back out of heat, we put her back on the truck. Gretchen really does enjoy riding on the truck. Of course, she thinks the snow is awesome too and whenever she can she buries her head into the snow.

Traveling Emma back in Oregon

M and Emma are back in Oregon driving across the state towards Woodburn OR, just south of Portland. Mike must have finally convinced Emma that riding up in the passenger seat was a good way to see where they are going. They drove thru the night until they got stopped in Baker City because of black ice on Cabbage Hill, 6% down grade.

Traveling Emma in Salt Lake City Utah

After delivery their load in Salt Lake City, M and Emma sat for almost 24 hours waiting for their next load and got one just after dark. They are headed back toward Oregon. So far Emma prefers to sit on M's bed while they are driving. As soon as M leaves the truck, Emma is up in his seat. Another thing is getting use to doing everything on a leash. We don't really have much of a need for walking on a leash at home, so Emma now has to get use to going potty on the leash. That's why we got M a retractable leash to use with the dogs. I don't like to use one for just everyday walks because dogs need to walk either beside me or behind me. It took a day and a half before Emma went potty.

Traveling Emma in Mountain Home Idaho

Traveling Emma is on her way to Salt Lake City Utah with a hot load being rushed to a Target store in Colorado. Emma has a nice thick curly coat that will make it nice to play in the snow that she is sure to see. Already on her first day of trucking she is in the snow.

Traveling Gretchen back home

Traveling Gretchen has been retired from the Trucking Life for now. She came into heat and had to come off the truck to keep it from getting stained. You make be able to see that Fritz and Gretchen have tied the knot and that it's snowing. So now Gretchen's daughter Emma has gone on the road and will be our next Traveling Dog with M.

Traveling Gretchen in Nevada

So they get to see a few sites from the road, here they are passing by the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Traveling Gretchen in Arizonia

For just a short portion of their trip they traveled thru Arizonia.

Traveling Gretchen in Utah

Here M and Gretchen are headed to LasVegas Nevada. Thru the window you can kind of see dry mountain terrain. They had 2 stops to make at Wal-Mart in Vegas before headed back the the DC in Utah for more. Okay you dwellers of Sin City, you should be able to find some good deals on black Friday.

Traveling Gretchen in Utah

Gretchen walking the parking lot in Salt Lake City. Gretchen and M delivered their load and headed over to Corrine where there's a distribution center (DC) for Wal-Mart. M and Gretchen are back on a Wally Run. Which basically means they will travel in a circle from the DC to 2 to 3 stores and back again to the DC. This is great news because it is steady miles.

Traveling Gretchen in Idaho

After a short break in Portland to reset his hours M and Gretchen were back out on the road and headed to Salt Lake City Utah. If you look closely the mountains in the background have fresh snow.

Traveling Gretchen in Eastern Oregon

Traveling Gretchen and M early in the morning in eastern Oregon headed west toward Portland. We met them in Biggs Junction at Linda's cafe for lunch.We were headed east for my Grandma's funeral.
