So friends ... I've been looking at the weather app on my phone ... and it shows that it gets a tad chilly in the evenings ... last night I think my phone said 45 degrees. Well, Jasper and I are southern CA girls so that is a tad nippy for us! Shall we bring a heavy coat? At least for me ... I actually think Jasper prefers the cooler temps as she's mostly black and actually has a thicker coat. 

Really hoping to try and pack a carry-on so any insight would be great. If it doesn't hit 70, it's not shorts weather for me! 

Alison you crack me up. Virginia weather is schizophrenic this time of year, I wouldn't count on anything you read online until about a week before. I know that's not helpful for planning, but I'd pack a sweatshirt at least. The weather "so far" is looking pretty nice that weekend. Snakes, birds, bugs and all other critters are a bit frisky right now, 'tis the season for love. I had a grey horned owl and a barn owl out hooting and hollering the other night.

Is the house in the woods? If so, I do suggest bug spray...ticks are especially bad right now. Its actually not a bad time of year for mosquitos and the other high humidity southern buggers, but that may be a different story in the woods.

When thankfully I have recruited three professional "tick removers" to be on tick patrol for Jasper Lily.... as for me ... I guess I'll check each time! 

As far as the house in the woods ... that there is nothing near by indicates to me that it is pretty rural and out in the woods but I've gotten the lovely nickname of "hollywood" from my house friends so this might not be as rural as one would think. I'll definitely bring layers and a sweatshirt! 

I do hope I hear some owls or other nature that is not of the bug / snake variety! I love nature ... I really do! 

And Sally ... LOL .. I am sure they are "more scared of me than I of them "... but I'll be sure to watch where we step at all times! I am pretty sure Jasper - a city dog and a beach city do at that - will be overwhelmed by all the new scents, sounds and sights! Oh to see the world through her eyes for just a day! She might actually prefer it to city living. 

Da Bear HQ (including Bunny in Charge) would love to attend the Event of the Century. However, one of Da Bears will be going to Da Vet School just days prior and/or after: we would like to ask for pawsitivity at that time from all of you (if, you know, you aren't getting arrested or thrown off or rebooked on an airplane...ahem...) We do, however, expect many updates, a dog to volunteer to wear the Google Map 360 headgear, a dog to volunteer to wear the live stream cam, and a dog to tweet...and at least one arrest...cough, cough ....Clare? Meg?!?! I mean, the humans will be busy with...the PAWTY of the Century so we expect as much hell raising as possible for those of us stuck in hospital!!! (Or jail:whichever comes first;)
