Rolling, Rolling, Rolling.....

We got up early and headed to Lebanon, New Jersey.  Not a good riding day for Lizzie.  She lives a fairly sheltered life - of sorts.....she is not use to a lot of loud noises, big trucks, or Rest Stops with 5,000 18 wheelers releasing their air brakes.  She was very anxious today.  Nothing exciting about the day other than Lizzie.  Lots of traffic....beautiful weather.....and finally at Jim's sisters' house.  I had called a vet that my nephew uses while on the road, and made an appointment for 5:15 PM for Lizzie.  Talked to the vet and she said that some dogs develop Noise Anxiety and she believes this is Lizzie's issue.  She gave us some Ace and we gave her half a tablet and she settled down right away and we have not had to give her any more since we have been here.  There is a new medication that is a much lighter calming medication that is specific for noise anxiety, and she is expecting to get that delivered before we leave here.  That will be much better than having to give her Ace.  After getting back to the house and getting Lizzie settled in, Penny ( Jim's sister) took us to an Italian restaurant and we had a nice relaxing dinner. 

I had a slight toothache when we left the home and I thought I could treat it myself, but that was not the case.  By the time we got to Penny's,  I knew I had to see a dentist so I called around and made an appointment for the next day. 

It had been an uneventful day, of sorts, but just having Lizzie calmed down was a positive! Early to bed after trying to blog and having computer issues......tomorrow is another day.....

A little bit of information about Lebanon, New Jersey - Source: Wikipedia

Lebanon is a borough in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 1,358,[7][8][9] reflecting an increase of 293 (+27.5%) from the 1,065 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 29 (+2.8%) from the 1,036 counted in the 1990 Census.[18]
Lebanon was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 26, 1926, from portions of Clinton Township, based on the results of a referendum held on April 20, 1926. Additional portions of Clinton Township were annexed in 1962.[19]
The borough is located north of the Round Valley Reservoir. The Borough was known in the early part of the 19th century as Jacksonville and later as Lebanonville, Lebanonville Depot and finally Lebanon, a station on the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The center of Lebanon has changed little in the past century. The Dutch Reformed Church is one of the oldest churches in the County. Records of the church begin in 1769, however, the church is cited as early as 1747.
