Riverboat REGALIA

Happy May Day!

Welcome to all the new subscribers from my podcast interview a few weeks back.  It’s been a fun new energy! And while my blog re-boot has had an immediate ‘rewirement’ focus & 100 marathon/100-miler target… for all the folks following pre-pandemic, today addressing the blog’s second highest # of comments.

Where’s Ro?  What happened to your dog?

Rowan is a couple years older but happy, healthy & active ❤️

He thanks all his fans for reaching out & asking — LOL>

Pup is now 12 years old (October birthday).  Sleeps bit more, hikes few miles less (was never a runner), lot fewer teeth, still a HUGE appetite (both of us bloated during home isolation), continues to protect our neighborhood from squirrels/rabbits/prairie dogs — and also a CANCER SURVIVOR!

When I marathon-travel, Ro generally stays across the street at a local kennel (Divine Canine) — his ‘home away from home’.  He’s a regular there & well-loved by staff.  We used the Rover app frequently pre-pandemic but like a lotta things after that period… life changed, new norms created, new folks enter your life.

BIG things on the horizon?

End-of-month we plan to drive cross-country & spend the summer with family in New England, returning Colorado-home early August.  Not sure the logistics but we’re 100% committed.  It’s gonna happen.  New travel carrier purchased.  Ro’s first East Coast adventure awaits!  Yankee squirrels be warned!
