Arrived

We've made it to Flagstaff!  We had a very busy several days including an afternoon drive to Bethesda, MD, a Paco de Lucia concert, a late night/middle of the night drive back to Raleigh, and an early morning flight from Raleigh to Phoenix.

Razor and Cher did great, and traveling with them as carry-ons went much better than I'd been fearing.  They were, of course, eager to leave their carriers once we were done traveling.

We've been getting settled into the new apartment.  Tonight Razor met a deer.  We walked out the front door and there were 2 deer passing through the field next to our unit.  Razor noticed the deer and started barking and made as if to catch them.  The leading deer took off, but the lagging one noticed Razor and seemed to actually want to check Razor out.  It came bounding toward Razor, which really caught Razor off guard.  Razor ran back to the porch and resumed her barking as she hid behind me.  The deer ultimately came within about 20 feet of us--and just stood there for a minute or two.  Finally the deer started back on its way and Razor got brave enough to leave the porch.

I start the new job on Monday.  Wish me luck!

I think you do not need luck. You'll do well.

Brave. brave Razor. Sounds like she has many adventures ahead. At least at our house the horses never come straight at her (unless she's out in the road.) You've finished your first week already. Doesn't time fly! Love you, Mom xoxoxo
