I should be out hiking in search of a beautiful waterfall right now, but I’m not.

We packed up the car with pup and a weekend worth of luggage last night and headed to Asheville. About ten minutes outside of Chapel Hill pup got sick. We pulled over to clean up (cursing the lack of paper towels at the gas station) and figured, she must be feeling better now, so let’s keep going. When she got sick again twenty minutes later, we called to cancel our hotel reservations (thankfully without penalty) and headed home.

Riesling spent the trip back home shaking and clinging to Eric with her head buried in his coat. I’ve never seen her so uncomfortable.

She’s feeling better today after a full night’s rest and although I’m disappointed about canceling the trip, we plan to keep busy by staining the deck and working on the master bathroom.
