Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It’s a bit cold outside and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.” – This is the Captain speaking.
Hello Austin
I take to the air this afternoon, flying to Austin to attend the Women’s Circle Network Stories from the Heart writing conference.
I’ve been looking forward to this event for months. I will be meeting up with some of the women I met at the event two years ago, and will also be meeting face to face with many women who have become dear friends via the Internet since then.
I will be sorry, however, to leave this beautiful Arizona desert where my daughter, Trish, lives. During my three-week visit here, we have both done some healing. Trish from some physical ailments and me from the emotional stress of losing my beloved dog, Maggie, and then her replacement just eight days later.
I’m finally to the point of thinking again about getting another dog. I will be getting back on the road in my RV shortly after the conference ends, and the thought of traveling without a canine companion is mind boggling.
Just in case anyone in the Austin or the Dallas areas of Texas might know of a dog that needs a lot of love and spoiling, I’m looking for a one to three–old, 20 to 25 pound, female that loves walks, cuddling and car rides.

Lots of prickles about at the moment Pat, I’ve been talking about gorse! A spreading prickly plant. Don’t know if you have it over there, lots of yellow flowers.

I don’t know of any dogs myself, but Austin Pets Alive! has a webpage of their adoptable dogs, updated nightly. Sparkle looks like she might fit your specs. Gracie Allen is cute but she’s a little heavy.
Your dog will find you 🙂
I hope you enjoy Austin…and I know a dog will find it’s way to you soon. : )
Beautiful photos. I hope Austin has been good to you and that you’ve found the perfect traveling companion.
Thank you so much for the Pat. 🙂
You’re welcome Robin. I’m still looking for my canine traveling companion. Hope to find one this weekend. Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:33:49 +0000 > To: patbean@msn.com >
