White Dog was missing Pumpkin, our van that was still in the shop. "She has never been sick before," WD lamented. "I hope this is not a bad sign." "Don't worry Sweet Girl, they said she can be fixed without too much difficulty and dad was sort of surprised that her surgery will be as inexpensive, relatively speaking, as it is." "Well, that is a BIG relief."
She continued, "Remember when the WDA was only four and we thought Pumpkin was amazingly spacious? Puff had the middle seat; Quinn usually liked the floor bed so he could touch dad's arm; and Bella took the entire back seat? I have been thinking about those days and the road trips."
"Those WERE wonderful adventures except that Puff and Quinn were never quite the travelers that you are. They both went because they wanted to be with us, but they were happiest when we returned home."
"Yes, but Nuka claimed the way back seat and was the Queen of all she surveyed as she paced back and forth on her special seatbelt. She NEVER napped. Funny how many memories fit in that big orange car."
