Day 113 – July 1 (Alaska Day 22) – Shopping for Pot-Luck

Last night Sadie was not feeling good – she had problems walking and was shivering and was not herself.  Dorrie and I both checked on her during the night – I don’t think either of us got a lot of sleep.

We put her coat on her this morning – she had her tee shirt on and was still shivering.  We decided to try part of a baby aspirin and she seemed to get better.  She was up on the dash, so we though it was okay to leave her for a little while.

We drove to the town of Kenai, about 60 to 90 minutes away.  Miles really don’t mean a lot here.  To get to Kenai, we drive to Soldotna and then turn west.  Soldotna is about 40 miles away and Kenai is another 12 miles.

On the way to Soldotna a female moose just stepped across the guard rail onto the road, strolled across the road and stepped over the guard rail on the other side.  That stretch of road is unusual in having guard railing.  There were two cars ahead of us so we didn’t have a chance to get a picture of the gal.

We got oil, oil filter, air filter, and some food at the Kenai Wal-Mart, had lunch at a fast food place and headed home.

Near the place we saw the moose on the way in, a female moose sauntered across the road.  We stopped again and this time Dorrie got a of good picture.

Dorrie tried to take Sadie out to potty when we got home, but she would not walk down the steps.  Dorrie lifted her down and Sadie just laid down on the ground.  This is very much not normal for her; she loves to get her leash on and go walking.

Rick and I changed the oil in the campers and replaced the air filters.  The campers are set for more miles.

Dorrie got Sadie to eat by putting cheese on it – she loves cheese.  I did get her to go out and pee, so maybe she is getting better.
