Texts: Gaby & Napoleon After this, making holiday plans
August 26 15:42 PM
Given that you are your own boss, do you think you'd be able to take a little time off at the end of September?
Given that I am my own boss, I think I might. Why?
I have to take a trip out to Vegas. I thought a little road trip to Nevada might be good for the dogs?
That would be nice- I haven't left OC in a while. Work trip to Vegas, I assume?
Yes, and some space could do you good too. Just a quick stop, shouldn't take more than a day. We could make it a week long trip.
I could do with a vacation. And September won't be too hot, will it?
Not too hot, but still enough to go hiking or sunbathing.
That sounds lovely then.
I should be home by 1730 today; the girls have been restless in the garage.
I'll make arrangements for us then. We can stay a little bit outside of the city, there's plenty to do with the girls.
Do they need to go for a run?
You can take Nora for one as punishment, if you would like. She and I are not on good terms right now.
Am I being punished or is she?
I don't know, did you chase a squirrel up a tree and get stuck and have to have a parade of firemen come to get you down?
A whole parade? Did you at least enjoy the view for a few moments? You know, while being mortified that Nora defies logic?
I was too busy being mortified. As soon as they got her down, she just lay on her back in the grass waiting for them all to fuss her for being brave. They all did exactly that.

Of course they did, how could anyone resist? At least they had a fairly fun call out then?
I'm glad I made their day, at least.
She didn't hurt you though, did she?
No, that lead you found for me worked perfectly. My wrist is a little sore but it could have been much worse.
We can get that iced and rested for the night, I'll take the girls out and let you rest. How about we order in tonight?
Sounds wonderful, Napoleon, thank you.
Text me when you're on your way?
Will do. Shouldn’t be too much longer. Just waiting for someone to pick up their car and I’ll be heading home.
I'll get a glass of wine ready for you. Sounds like you need it.
