today was a big day by all accounts. 

Dash and I left the comforts of being back home in Connecticut. For me it was the comfort of being with family and having a couple extra sets of hands to help out. For Dash it meant saying goodbye to his brother Bodie. 

Dash did a wonderful job flying with me today with only the slightest of whimperers during takeoff. A two and half hour delay in the MN airport did not even seem to phase him much. He can be a real sweetheart when he wants to… 

… and a complete terror at other times. 

We made it back to Portland safe and sound and Dash spent a bit of time exploring each nook and cranny of my apartment. He even managed to find and flip the power switch for the stereo and Internets, very impressive little one. But his real love seems to lie in dirty laundry and sneakers both of which he found in abundance. 

more to explore tomorrow i am sure.
