May 8, 2007 -The alarm was set to wake us at 4 a.m. but we woke before that and began getting ready for our short journey to the airport – as difficult as it was, the time had come for Dad to go "Back Home Again in Indiana."
The Corpus Christi International Airport must have been quite a let down over the airport in Louisville. No alarms went off as he passed through security, so they did not have to pull him aside and use the magic wand on him as they did in Louisville! He breezed through with no problem and was wheeled to the waiting area where I watched through the glass partition as he immediately found friendly faces and conversation.
Later that morning: Chance lay at my feet with a rawhide on the floor next to him. Normally he would devour the rawhide immediately, but not today. It will probably take most of the week to get him back to normal, as he will likely spend his time pouting and sleeping! And awaiting the return of his Grand Papa!
I left his staff (the one we use when we go to Big Bend for mountain hikes) standing in the corner by the living room door and told Dad it would be there when he returns. However, I’d like to get him a nice one to keep here, somewhat like the one he has at home, and will immediately begin looking for one in anticipation of his next visit.
