are those schnauzers? >do you want to keep those fingers?

long drive! bruno did great, but i definitely had to chain chaco to his chair. i know, it sounds like a csi case. but no, he won't stay in his car seat otherwise. i admit, the seat was a bit small, so i decided to get him a new one on the way to visit mom and dad! so, we had to find a petco. when we finally found one, they had just what we needed. granted it added more time to our trip because we had to go all the way into fort smith and my nav ap on my phone decided to play funny with me and took me all over the place and fort smith seems to have some dead zones because we had to redirect several times. boo.

but while we were at the petco, an older couple stopped at the car and she was looking in the window and tapping at chaco, so i rolled the window down and she called her husband over and then she asked, "are those schnauzers?" and i know chaco wanted to bite her face off, but he forced a smile and i told her they were yorkies.

then i had to completely turn around to get this pic.

remember i am in arkansas. apparently rod did not do nearly as well as sam walton

then while we were traveling north on 540, we encountered the tunnel. i love the tunnel, but it was new for chaco.

every time i go through here, i think of the fugitive, and various other movies that include tunnels.

as we entered, chaco said, "hey! we're going through a time warp!!" and i said,"no, we're just going through arkansas."

i kept stopping for the boys to go potty, but they wouldn't.

the boys are now getting used to the lodge. and in just a few minutes, we're going up to the lobby for some freshly baked chocolate chip and sugar cookies. yummy!

good thing this place has internet access!
