Moving Part 3: Road Life

In part 3 of our moving recap we will show you some of the places we saw,slept,ate and poo'd along our move from Indiana to California... We even made some new friends along the way.
Otis made himself a comfy bed on top of a suitcase. From here he took his co-captain duties pretty lightly.

On the end of day 1 of driving we pulled into our hotel in Tulsa, OK.
Tulsa has to literally be the hottest town we have been in before.
The thermostat was still pegging the 95 degree mark at 10 pm when we took this picture...plus there was a full moon, too!
 In the morning we got a chance to meet the dudes from the band 
5 Finger Death Punch in the lobby of our hotel.
We racked up some good naps during the trip.
 This is Pepe.We met him in Texas He was smaller than the cup.
Otis still gets the ladies from state to state
Olive will find a lap to nap in no matter where we are.
We saw this sign in Arizona and had to warn mommy (she's frightened by snakes!)
 "I ain't no bigger than a tumbleweed!"
 We drove through some crazy looking storms in Arizona. The sky was crazy!
We stretched our legs in the desert...still keeping an eye out for them snakes.

Moving Part 2: Hit the road...

Part 2 of our recap of our move from Indianapolis to Los Angeles begins with us saying "see you later" to some friends and family.
Meet Brewski (Brew for short!)
Brew is our cousin and lives down the street from our home in Indianapolis.
Brew is one of our best friends and always excited when we get a chance to play.
 Olive made sure that our last stop before we hit the road was a mini morning play session with Brew.
"I know I can always lean on Brew!"
 Otis loves Brews deck that overlooks the entire backyard...

This is our aunt Sara.
 She comes and visits us when Mommy and Daddy are out of town
 (or when she just needs some bulldog kisses!)

Time to hit the road...

Moving Part 1: Moving Day

So this is the first time we have ever moved from our home...and we weren't sure about how it was going to go. Mommy and Daddy were going back and forth between Indiana and California so much that before we knew it, it was moving day.

On Moving day we got up early and decided to spend some last minutes at our home in Indiana doing some of our favorite things

Spending mornings in our backyard...
Hanging out on our porch
Working on the blog
and sneaking a nap when possible.
...and just sitting around.
The movers then showed up and began packing our things.
We went to the garage and tried to pitch in.

Otis wanted to bring his sled to California.
I tried to tell him that there isn't any snow where we are moving to...
 ...but he didn't listen and insisted we bring it.
Otis took charge supervising the moving crew to make sure they didn't forget any of our things.
But I decided to hide in my secret spot under Daddy's desk.
Until Daddy found me.
All this supervising was wearing Otis out so he retreated to the garage.

Help Stitch!

We were made aware of this nasty court battle involving a Frenchie named Stitch, awful human "owners" and a family that has welcomed Stitch to their own.
Please read and sign their petition.
