We’ve been looking for a good home for Widget and we finally found a lovely couple looking for a Rhodesian Ridgeback. They are doggie people and their ranch lifestyle is a perfect fit for our high energy, fun lovin’ dog. (Though he would love to be a part of the generous journey, he needs far more exercise than we can give him.)

However, his new family lives in Oregon and we live in Washington. Sounds like a road trip to me!

We packed up the RV and headed out. Along the way we stopped at the Country Mercantile (a very yummy stop) and then settled into the Wildhorse RV Park near Pendleton, OR (our meeting place). Widget made quick friends of his new mom and dad. We forgot to bring an adapter so off to Walmart to pick one up (with a little geocaching in the parking lot). And on the way home we stopped at various rest stops (some that offer free coffee, which meant more stops down the road).

It was a great first trip, even though we had to say goodbye to Widget. Thanks R & A for giving our baby a good home.
