Shay Meets Norman

The goal of day two of driving was to finally get Shay to Boston to meet Norman. We left early from Pennsylvania and it was raining. Shay spent the whole morning standing up in her car seat watching the trucks drive by. We stopped in Norwalk to have lunch with Nancy Mack. We totally lucked out as the rain stopped for just one hour so we could eat lunch outdoors.

I was so happy that Nancy was able to take time from her new job to meet us. It was short, but always happy to be with her.

Shay and I continued the drive up to Boston to get to Carter and Claire’s new apartment and introduce Shay to their dog Norman. Norman is a goldendoodle the same height as Shay, but ten pounds heavier. They sized each other up, literally and have been getting along fairly well ever since.

When Norman wants to play Shay lets him know who is in charge. The humans went to dinner tonight at their local, Tavelo, and left the dogs home alone. It was a great to meet the friends at Tavelo and have a yummy dinner.

We came home to two happy dogs. Thank goodness since Shay is staying here with Claire while we go to the wedding this weekend. Thankfully the big drive is over.

I am looking forward to. Good night’s sleep in Carter and Claire’s guest room. Claire told me if I needed more pillows they had them for me. I think I’m good. I adore their sweet apartment.
