Plenty of vets in Truckee. Donner Truckee Vet Hospital open on Saturday. No one open on Sunday.
Sacramento Animal Hospital is your best bet in Sacramento.
She has an abscess. Going to need to get it opened and drained once I get to Petaluma. We have antibiotics for now.
Angel Lake was nice, I just wish I could sleep better when I camp.
Anyone want to run their pups at Donner memorial Park? I should be there in around 3.5 hours maybe less.
There will be 20+ pups there for you to frolic with. Hopefully no rangers.
My pup is not friendly so I don't take here there But everybody else seems to...
Also, made in Tahoe craft fair is at Palisades today, I'll be there ...
Not far down the road from interstate 80/Donner/truckee if you want to bask in the glory of Palisades for a few minutes
And it is a dog friendly event, on leash, if your dog is well-behaved around lots of people and other dogs.
Lol, I don't know how I became the Truckee ambassador in this thread, i am pretty antisocial IRL.
But I spent a lot of my early ski days at hunter (HS ski bus!) so your username strikes a chord.
Ha. Awesome.
I didn't mention that Daisy got bit by a Boston terrier on Monday and at first everything looked fine but I guess this morning it blew up. And for the record: both dogs were on leash. At the time it happened I could barely find scratches, but maybe there was a tiny puncture. I kind of just want to get this drive over with. I've never seen so much sagebrush in my life.
Desert drives can be monotonous But maybe you will feel more excited as you roll up into the Sierra after Reno back into the trees....
Made in Tahoe @ Palisades is a 15 -minute drive off the highway, and then from there it's only a few more minutes to dip your toes in lake Tahoe...
I'm at Craft and Logic in Truckee now. I forgot how ridiculously expensive everything in California is, including feeding meters on the weekend. My dog's face looks ridiculous, but otherwise, this is nice. If windy.
Thank you for enjoying my travel blog. Will check back for advice on the return trip which will be interstate to Dillon, MT and dropping in on my sister-in-law on the way home.
Was looking at making a reservation for camping in Truckee in the return trip and website says Donner Park campgrounds are closed?! I suppose it used to be cold there in October.
Was hoping not to drive as far each day. That was awful.
Dog is doing better.
Health scare with Dad. Didn't plan on coming face to face with my father's mortality for my 40th birthday, but here we are.
When are you coming back through Tahoe / Reno?Quote:

Wasn't planning on eating my birthday cake in the ER, but at least it's across the street from their apartment complex?
What a great vacation. Fuck, my parents are old.
Dad is fine. Dog is looking good.
So, camping around Truckee, and then maybe around Twin Falls or Pocatello?
FYI, watch the weather, Cold and rainy for the next few days here, overnights in the below freezing to teens.
Not gonna be able to drop on my sister-in-law so direct route home over the weekend would be best.
Winnemucca looks like a good place to stop, but it's not halfway. Route looks like the middle of fucking nowhere. What should I do? Back across 80 to Wells and then slightly faster way home from there? Not much slower than Winne. Stay in Elko?
I suppose I could get back Monday morning by adding another stop. Fuck, I hate this.
I'll head to Donner Memorial to let the dog out, the just stop in Wells again. Thanks!

Donner memorial is pretty cool.
When you’re walking your dog, think about how they had to EAT their dog.
Donner was from Haiti ?
