Well, no luck going on a road trip to visit.
The kid just told me got orders to Northern VA to work after scouring the Augusta area for a house. That will bring him closer but I'm hoping he gets on-post officer's quarters. Seems he will be working in the same place for the same people, but a different organization, that I worked for years ago. It can get pretty chilly and snow quite a bit in the DC area so the dog will need some snow booties.
If the kid has to travel I'm gonna get the dog and keep an eye on him. Oh, the cat's not gonna like that ....
