Family tour 2013 – Nicole

Working my way down the state, I dropped in to visit Nicole and Rod who just earlier this year were living in Phoenix. Now the entire family (but me) is back in California… I had so much hope for them.

Nicole was going to dog-sit Moose while I flew back to Colorado for the holidays, but I have since decided to drive back to Colorado with Moose. It seems that I may have dodged a bullet by making that decision, as within only a few hours Moose had already developed a very strong bond with Nicole. You could see it in his eyes that he preferred my Sis over me… oh, the guilt.

Nicole, never the type to pass up an opportunity to lop off some hair, gently snipped here and there over the course of day. When Moose began to fidget, she stopped, but returned again once he laid down. In the end, he fell asleep beside her and woke up an hour later with a completely new look… never fall asleep near my sister if you have long hair.

I parted ways, after spending my first night indoors in over a year (I didn’t want Moose to freeze). In the morning I set out on my way to visit with my youngest brother; Steven.
