Getting close

Day 3...

Woke up to a chilly overcast morning in Nebraska.  I was VERY thankful this morning that I don't live in a town full of cows.  Pee-U!

After a few hours of driving, we crossed into Iowa earlier today.  It's amazing how far we've come in just a few days.

Talking about how far we were from home made us think about Oliver and how far he really has come.  Who would have ever thought that the unfixed, scared, and neglected stray walking the streets of Hesperia would be 6 states away competing for a championship DockDiving title?!?!  I bet not his former owners whoever they are.  I can picture them saying..."he's a dumb dog who can't do a thing"!  Boy wouldn't they be surprised to see him now.  It doesn't happen magically, but with work, training, consistency, and most of all lots of love any dog can be a "good dog".  As far as we're concerned Oliver is a GREAT DOG! We're very thankful to SCLRR for rescuing him and then allowing us to adopt this special dog who has a heart of gold.

Oliver still doesn't know what all the fuss is about but he does know he likes King Kong burgers for lunch!
