Yes we are still in Albuquerque, NM . the dads new place is Rio Rancho, a place NW of Albuquerque, about 20 miles away. I know I'm pretty old 17? I was about 2 years when the dad and passed mom found me in the pound. People always want a young jumpy puppy, maybe in my next life I will come back as a dog, why mess with perfection?  this week I am going to try the new place, but my new future mom is sending mixed signals to my dad.. Dad made me a bed in the garage last night, it was better than the ground, but not my home. my home has 2 really nice cubby holes, but the new mom will not allow my dad to have those in her yard. I think the dad will create one if I can stay. They are planning a long trip soon and I got to visit the family who will look after me. they have 3 dogs and I can only stay for a visit. they have a big house. I was very quiet and the people said when I got up to go to my dad I was more animated then I was since I got there. Strange house, strange but nice people.  this week my dad is taking me to get cleaned and polished, I hope he's kidding about that polished part.
