Time2Beat demo @AKCNAC today. Samurai evidently thought it meant Time2Screeeem! Loudly.

Rainy Evening in Lexington

We drove into Lexington after dinner at a chain restaurant tonight and instantly agreed we should have eaten here instead.. Lots of quaint shops and interesting-looking restaurants. Antebellum architecture is amazing. Hope we get a chance to explore the Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University on foot. So far only rain so not sure whether we will be able to get out or not.

We bought homemade peanut butter sandwich cookies at a bakery called the Patisserie. The owner said her customers call them "crack cookies" because they are that addictive. And yes, they were that good!

The Ritziest Ruby Tuesday

Everything here is very high toned, even chain restaurants like this one.

We're here!

Next Stop PAX2?

Taylor's kind of place.

Coal Country, 8 a.m.

Misty Morning, Cabin Creek, WV

This is the rugged place, but the people are some of the warmest we've come across. Red Roof in Charleston was surprisingly nice.

One Night in Charleston

Snow way!

Can you believe this snow we've got going on here? Still over 2 more hours to Charleston.

Holy Toledo!

Or make that Columbus. Snow. Wet. Traffic. Yuk. 2 hrs and 56 minutes to go.

Are We There Yet?

Tweet with us @PapillonAgility on Twitter!

Best thing about driving? Drive-thrus.

Headed off to take our little Taylor to the AKC Agility Nationals and decided to
open a Twitter feed so I could read the scores that are going to be tweeted live
as they happen from the 5 rings at Nationals.

Anyway, I called it PapillonAgility, so I thought would invite you all to post
your news and scores also. Also feel free to share any Papillon or agility
related news. Also news from the Papillon Nationals for those of us who won't be
there this year.

Either go to @PapillonAgility on Twitter or http://twitter.com/PapillonAgility.
You can read it even if you aren't on Twitter.

Also, I will be posting photos and news from our Nationals trip to my blog, View
From 4 Inch. You can find it by Googling "View From 4 Inch" or
http://www.viewfr4inch.blogspot.com/

This will be a bittersweet trip since Taylor has been recovering first from a
back injury in January, then from having three teeth pulled a couple of weeks
ago, and finally...was diagnosed with PRA just last week.

It's just a tragic thing to happen to such a marvelous little agility dog. His
vision is still pretty good right now, so we will just adapt day by day.

Good luck to everyone headed to AKC Nationals and to Papillon Nationals. Travel
safely and have a great time!
