Posessed

During our infamous roadtrip, we also stopped in Little Rock for a few short hours. It was, like every other day on our trip, over 100 degrees there though and we didn't have anyplace cool to keep Elly, so we just sort of walked around the city and ate lunch.

We were going to visit the Clinton Museum, but it was just so hot and there was absolutely no shady spot in the parking lot to park the car for Elly, so we decided not to. Instead we wandered through a farmer's market where I tried some hot sauce and then we wandered up and down the streets of Little Rock and through some sort of Tae Kwan Doe garden/facility. You could tell Elly was really struggling in the heat and when we got in the garden she plopped herself down on a sliver of shade cast by a step and refused to move. Poor Elly.
We decided to get some lunch and figured if we went somewhere with an outdoor patio they would let us bring Elly out there. At first, they were reluctant and when I asked the waitress about Elly she said with a look of disgust on her face, What about food and feces?? But then they saw Elly and fell in love with her like everyone does and quickly gave in. Then they were super accomodating and brought her a water dish and all the waitresses came out to visit her and because it was over 100 degrees we were the only people crazy enough to sit outside anyway.

Caton was in love with this lunch!

Then we returned to the car in a mad dash for air conditioning and found that Caton's car had become possessed! It kept randomly locking the doors every couple of seconds and honking the horn. This went on for a few minutes of us honestly thinking the car had been possessed and we would have to drive in this door locking, horn honking car for the rest of the trip when finally I realized that maybe the lock button on her automatic opener was stuck down.

And then all our troubles were solved!
