Day 138, Missoula Rabble, Debbie and Izzy

Debbie and Izzy, a Great Dane, are about the same size. Izzy was pulling Debbie around a trail when I stopped to say hello. "She's actually my granddaughter," Debbie said. Her daughter is a navy pilot currently deployed in Bahrain. While she is gone Debbie takes care of Izzy. I asked Debbie about her daughter's job. "She is just a little Missoula girl who got this in her system and went for it," she said. Her daughter flies a P3 Orien. "It's a big jet the size of a 737," she said. I asked Debbie what it's like having a daughter in the military and away from home. "It has been hard," she said. "I have to let that go and know she's doing what she loves and support her."
