I havn't really decide which way I'll be traveling yet.. your offer is certainly interesting, but, there is one possible fly in the ointment. I have a 75 pound labrador retriever that goes everywhere with me. I cant leave him here for two months. He is totally house broken, and he has beeb to, and graduated from obedience school. When meeting new people, he tends to get excited, but will settle down after a bit. Would he be a problem? He is not allowed on furniture or beds. (some dog owners are buggy about that) I'd like to spend at least an evening around there. Might even be there for Wednesday the 5th. so we could drop in on the Mudcat radio.
