Thanksgiving in Arkansas

This year Kristoffer and I went to Cotter, Arkansas for Thanksgiving. We left the Sunday before Thanksgiving taking the red eye flight. He had 3 mini meltdowns but it was to be expected for flying at night. But overall he did fantastic. He loved being next to the window. It was nice visiting with Mike's side of the family even though he wasn't there. I got to meet Mike's uncle and 2 cousins. I also got to catch up with his aunt, a cousin and of course his Papa who is 90! We left Saturday after Thanksgiving. Our plane was 45 minutes late taking off from Little Rock. We almost missed our connection in Dallas because they told us the wrong gate on the plane. We made it home.  It was nice Thanksgiving and I had my first deep fried turkey.

Mollie is our special pup who lives in her own little world and always is so HAPPY. She is a Black Lab/ German Shorthaired Pointer mix. She is our first and last black lab. I didn't really know/understand that the black labs puppy stage last 2-3 YEARS! This pup is a handful! Some days I want to hang her by her paws. But I made a commitment to be her owner and take very good care of her. So with that said I'm in it for the long run. We see the potential for her to be a really good dog.
