We are headed to California and Phoenix. In June and July. It will be very hot.

We intend to return to Wisconsin at the end of July. We wondered perhaps Dear Mother in Law would enjoy Mack’s company for a few weeks? This way we wouldn’t have to be so concerned about the heat with him. Otherwise, we usually check on him in Tracy every few hours to make sure our air conditioning is functioning properly. But he’s getting quite old and if he’s back in Illinois we know he’ll be a-okay.

Dear Mother In Law is about as dog friendly as it gets, save for her cat (whom we made her adopt). Last time Abigail (said cat) saw Mack she looked pretty ticked off. Still, Mack has charmed her before and I’m quite certain will again.

So, sniffle, sniffle, we will be dogless, this summer. Sending Mack extra hugs, kisses, extra love. We know you will snooze in the air conditioning so happily.

Thanks Sweet Mother In Law. Hope you have fun.
