I drove up here Saturday with the car loaded (and still, forgot some stuff but nothing vital). Both dog and cat are good travelers and Alfie is clearly thrilled to be back here in his country life ... though since he was here last I have had my guy cover the underside openings to the barn with wire mesh...no more critters, I hope! But Alfie is frustrated; he used to love going under there to see what was going on...risky! He paid the price one night and came away loaded with porcupine quills...
