Flash and Rascal


Just had to share this picture with everyone.. This a picture of our basset hound Flash. He and our other dog, Rascal are staying at a local "Dog Resort" if you will.. We had drama earlier this week. We rec'd an email from the Kennel saying the boyz were not getting along and Rascal had suffered a puncture on his paw. They "think" Flash may have bit him but aren't sure.... so Rascal was taken to our vet who had to stitch up the wound. They also separated them so they would have their "own" space. Our wonderful friend Marilyn has been our voice since we can't be there. She has been wonderful and we are so thankful!!! WE LOVE YOU Marilyn! She has been out to visit them a couple of times and sent us this picture today.. Isn't it cute. There was another one with Rascal but it is taking forever to download the pics. The Kennel has also been emailing us to give us regular updates and pictures.. they say Flash is finally warming up and being friendly since he has his own run.. Can't wait to see the bill when we get home. !!!!Yikes .. okay well just had to share this picture.. I love it!!
We are off this afternoon to do our swearing in at the US Consulate.. last government thing in this whole process!!! What an unbelievable feeling after 2 plus years of bureaucracy. Joseph will get his passport and Visa today!! Hurray!!!
We will post more later...
see ya!

The Barger Family,
That picture is just too cute! I think you will get lots of loving from your two dogs when you get home. I bet Joseph will too! It is so great that you will officially have your paperwork done and finally get ready to come home!!!!

Hey you!
I'm haven't forgotten about you. My Granny had to have unexpected cardiac bypass surgery on Tuesday so things have been a lot crazy around here.
I can't believe that you'll be home in two days. People at the airport, would you please hug the new Barger family for me? Thanks! If it wouldn't take me a day to get there, I'd be waiting for you too:)
Can't wait to hear more about your China adventures. Talk to you soon.
Love you all,
Kateri
Oh, still no LOA! I think Ashley is getting as antsy as Tricia and me now:)

Hey guys,
Just a few more days and you will be home! Love the picture. I'm sure your dogs are just missing you guys. Take care. We are praying for safe travels home and that Joseph would do well on the long plane ride.
