Hollis, NH with Retters

We headed out of Vermont on I-89 towards Hollis, NH, on the morning of November 26 where we had lunch with carriage driving friends Kris and Al Retter. The three dogs, who had for the most part been quite well behaved with Matt & Nicole’s Australian Cattle dog Lupine, weren’t quite so gracious at Kris & Al’s. We let them run in Retter’s fenced backyard, and Nock immediately found a hole in the fence so she could get out and attack Retter’s slightly handicapped miniature poodle Cookie, but Tom managed to break up the fight and Nock was put on a leash, and Cookie was confined in an upstairs bathroom until the end of our visit.
We got back on the road after a great lunch – great food and great conversation as we caught up on the past few months and shared trailering horror stories – and again successfully braved the interstates as we headed for Tom’s brother Mark on Plum Island, MA.
