Becoming a Rez dog!

Emery loves the outdoors, the rez and all his pals. 

Even though he does get pokies stuck in his paws when he runs in the grass.

 He still Loves every moment. 

Emery loves the Rez! He has been having an amazing time living in community and meeting some buddies. 

He loves playing outside with Socks! Sometimes they chase each other, other times they bite, but most of the time they just hang out.

His other buddy, yellow snow loves to share Emery's water bowl. We have great friends where we live and great dogs. Emery fits right in!

we headed back to minneapolis today. It sure was one long car ride. 

I woke up around 3am feeling very under the weather. I could not fall back to sleep, so after tossing and turning for 3 hours we decided to hit the road. 

Not being able to drive,  I rested my head on the window and dozed off. I woke every once in a while to make sure Jake was still awake and keeping us on the road. Finally we have arrived. 9 hours later, a doctors appointment and the return to maxwells, my night is finally complete. 

I have been having a wonderful time in Pine Ridge! It really is beautiful there. It seems that the sky goes on forever. 

We are lucky to have so much in life. blessed. There is joy in having less. Finding the balance is where the difficulty is. 

we have arrived!

And then there were Two...

Two days,

Jake and I are leaving in two days. I can't believe it is finally here. The house is looking cleaner, the boxes are being packed and goodbyes are being said. Now its time to relax and take it all in. We will be living on a reservation, with one market a gas station a Taco Johns, you dare not eat at and of course a Pizza Hut. Were not sure what the winters will be like. We don't even know what the plow situation is like there. Hopefully they have them. 

Mostly we are just excited to get out and experience something new. An adventure.
