Moopy and I finally made it through the front door of our home about 9:15 tonight. We are beat, but elated to be back home from St. Louis at last. We know (hell, the whole neighborhood knows now) that the pups are thrilled to be home... just like us. We are hoping and even praying that the pups are also worn out... just like us.

We're glad we brought you all along to St. Louis with us, because it turned out we needed each and every one of you. Please be assured that even though the Moopster's ten-month ordeal is now officially over, she ain't going anywhere. Neither am I. You're stuck with us both for a long time.

With love and gratitude,
Joe (and Moopy, and our two good dogs, and my dog who is apparently impervious to Xanax)

    There's No Place Like Home...
    Sooo glad for all five of you! :-)

    Hoping you'll all have some time to relax and rest up before jumping back into Life After Cancer Treatment.

    Thanks, Joe, for the reassurance that you and Moopy intend to stick with us. You're both precious, and have so very much to offer others.

    Wishing everyone - including Eefy, Nubi and Y.B.Bo - in your house a peaceful night's sleep...

    With love - to two of the most kind-hearted folks I've ever met.
    And with gratitude - for your faithful friendship.

    Kind regards, Susan

    Of course you will still be
    Of course you will still be with us. We love the wisdom, strength, support, guidance, humor that Aortus and Moopy provide. But I am glad that Moopy is done with all the treatment and will now be on her follow up path and will soon announce her first of many dances with NED. Don't be jealous, cause she might dance with him but she'll still go home with you.
    Glad too that you arrived home safely, if a little tired and isn't there always one pet or one kid who does not sleep on the ride home. It was me. I am sure that even if my parents had tranquilized me I would still have been hopping around asking how many cities, how many miles, can we stop I have to pee etc. Even thought dogs don't talk per se, they still do the same thing.
    Again, so happy you are home and that you are here to stay. I for one, and I know that there are many, many more would be lost without the two of you. What would happen to the Rad B's for one?

    If the two of you haven't
    If the two of you haven't figured it out, you are truly an inspiring couple, and so very much valued and appreciated~! I am so glad that you all are finally home... and who cares if the neighbors had to learn about it so late at night... those pups are just spreading the good news!! Good for them! I say... RUFF RUFF... that's doggie talk for "party time"...and "celebrate" ... I hope that the two of you slept very well in your own bed and that you wake up this morning feeling very rested and refreshed surrounded by the comforts of home.

    ♥ & Hugs to both of you!

    WHOOPPEEEE
    So glad you are back home and hope you had a good nights sleep. You both deserve some time to kick back and do absolutely NOTHING (except for the occasional retail therapy). RELAX!

    We're thrilled that you will still be part of the family here ... because as others have said ... you two are our heroes. Your strength and "togetherness" is wonderful and we all draw strength from you.

    Rest. Rest. Rest. Then go celebrate!!! The RAD B's don't have to hit the road for awhile ... so there's for you two to relax ... before our rehearsals start.

    big hugs.

    Joe and Moopy...home is just the best place to be. Rest and just enjoy being there, then you can celebrate. I'm so glad to hear that you both will still be with us on this board, I can't imagine it without you. You guys are always, always so supportive and compassionate. And you have so much to share. I look forward to many more posts from you. Hugs to you both for sharing your lives with us...Cindy

    You're not going anywhere??
    You're not going anywhere?? I seem to recall a long ago post about you and the Moopster having a bunch of states in the contiguous 48 to visit for amorous purposes....
    OH! You just meant you aren't leaving the boards!! I knew that, really I did. :-)

    Hugs to you both!

    Welcome home!
    Very happy to hear that you and the Moopster walked through the front door of your precious home last night. What a nice feeling that must be. I hope that this weekend you will relax, take in the familiar surroundings and watch as the pups re-discover their favorite place. Wishing you peace and joy in this new phase of your lives.

    Mimi

    Edited to add: oh and I remember that little thing that Claudia mentioned, too. When will you get to that, huh?!

    Did not slip past me! LOL! Have fun going for your goal! You can run all over the country...and make beautiful memories everywhere, but there is no place like home. I definitely wasn't thinking that you would be leaving the boards (cuz this is home too) and am glad you have reassured us of this. We have come to love, value, and admire you both..my dear brave friends. I can't count the times you have helped me through hard times, encouraged me in difficult times, celebrated with me in good times, and laughed with me over the funny things, and I will never forget your kindness. We have been through so much together, and I am looking forward to many many more happy posts from you both.

    I bet it feels wonderful to be back home. I know I was so thankful to be home (and i even got to go home on weekends). Have a wonderful evening.
    love, jackie

    Moopy and I haven't forgotten that project either.
    I have to say that when we were cleaning out my Highlander yesterday for the trip back, Moopy was bent over on the back seat to pick up some junk off the floor (I am somewhat untidy by nature) and her butt looked so good I almost jumped in with her, closed the door, and started up a little "practice session."

    But I suspected that the other people gassing up their cars at the Phillips 66 wouldn't really approve. Not to mention the fact that Missouri is at the very top of our list of "been there, done it" states.

    What's In A Name???
    You probably could have gotten away with "it", but only in Missouri. It is, after all the Show Me State, isn't it?????

    And if you were actually arrested, it's only because Missouri Loves Company! ( so very sorry)

    Hugs,
