Default Meet Gizmo!

Moxie our faithful Boxer passed last summer, and we have been missing K-9 companionship ever since. So a few weeks ago, we adopted Gizzy, a tiny who-knows-what-a-doodle from a local rescue. Andi and I hope to travel with her in the -9A, so her small size will be an asset. Her house training is progressing, and she is learning not to use her needle-sharp teeth on our hands.

She had her first short flight today and was a real champ!



Peek-a-boo!



About that landing, Dad......



I am the Captain NOW!



We are well aware she looks like a punk-rock rat.......



I hope this is the first of many journeys with Gizzy!

Pete, much thanks for the heart warmer for this Monday. I come here to learn about RVs and you pull an underhanded trick with cuteness... Shame on you!

Looks like a great new family addition. BUT, I really want to know how you ended up with a Pink Dynon instrument. Guessing there is a good story behind that.

Hi Larry,

I had an early D-10 with an odd failure, and they send me a test unit of some kind as a replacement - the anodizing is fading, and I get "pink" in some light! The ems-d10 has a painted or powder coated finish that has stayed black.
