Whoa, one more detail about our trip!

We stopped at a convenience store on the way to Miss Janet's barn. Larry, my sister, Elizabeth, and I were inside the store and getting some food. Mindy was outside supervising Abby while she sniffed around and did her business. Right as the store seemed to reach the height of "fullness," we heard the ding of the store door opening, followed by the mad scrambling of a dog on tile floor. 

Mindy was putting Abby into the truck so that she could get some food for herself, but Abby broke away and ran to the store--she KNEW where we'd gone because she's a very smart dog. Mindy came running in a few seconds after Abby.

Lots of people laughed as all of us yelled for her and tried to grab her. I think it made the store clerk's day. She thought it was hilarious to see our little doggie open the door and run around the store for her friends.

...Just thought I'd share :)
