6. When I was transferred from KY to Kansas City

I needed to go almost immediately and the Mrs. would be following in about a month. When it was finally time for her to move to KC, I arranged to meet her in Indianapolis and finish the rest of the drive to KC with her. (For some reason the Cincinnati airport is one of the most expensive in the US to fly into and out of, hence meeting in Indianapolis, which is only about 100 mi from Cinn. and about half the cost.)

When I arrived, I called the hotel she was staying at and got the room number, caught the shuttle, and found the room. When she opened the door, behind her on the back of the sofa was our dog, Sancho. I swear, he did a double take! Suddenly there was an absolutely ecstatic dog dancing around my feet and jumping up on me. Evidently he had assumed that I had disappeared from his life, mourned my leaving, and moved on. He was over the moon when I suddenly reappeared.
