Easily distracted

 I did move my art 1 inch forward today, just barely. But I got distracted by something. Let me explain. 

I took Akua for training this morning. We went to the Riparian Preserve. It's a beautiful wetland that has lots of water and animals and paths to walk. It really is an awesome place to take the dogs. So I met the trainer there and we walked our dogs there for an hour. Before I get to the distraction I want to say that Akua did great. He didn't even really react to her Great Dane and was really good with almost all the other dogs we saw. There were a few that were yappy and out of control, but we survived it and he overall did really good. Okay, now that that is out of the way, we were leaving the preserve and Akua was having trouble getting into the Bronco. He was tired and jumping up into the Bronco took energy he didn't seem go have. We got in and all was well, but it got me to thinking. I want to go on road trips and I just don't think the Bronco will be a good fit for that. He sits in the backseat and is up high and I'm not comfortable with that. So I started thinking that maybe I should trade the Bronco in and get another van. Those are just built for road trips and dogs. It's easy to get in and out of. The dogs are low and on the floor not way up on a seat. It's just much better than the Bronco. So I started investigating. How much would I get for the Bronco? How much are vans going for? Would it be feasible to trade in the Bronco and get a van? The truth is we are upside down on the Bronco loan and so would have to borrow more to cover the shortfall. That kind of sucks. So I was explaining this all to Hubby when it hit me, we could trade in his truck. It's paid off so no loan to worry about. I mentioned it to him and he was all for it. So that led me down a rabbit hole of how much can we get for the truck? How much do vans go for? Then I started talking to Claude about which vans are better, which are good deals and bad deals. Definitely a time consuming adventure even if I had Claude's help. So eventually I walked away and just put it on hold. I'm trying to figure out the downside to doing this. The only downside I can come up with is that we will have another car payment. Hubby is happy to get rid of his truck and go back to a van. It wouldn't change much except we would have a vehicle that can transport the dog easily. I think the real thing holding me back is that it won't be my car. I don't want it. I love my Bronco. The only downside of my Bronco is Akua. Getting the van would solve that problem. So why am I feeling hesitant. I don't want to jump in and discover I made a big mistake. I'm trying to be an adult and make sure it's the right thing to do before I jump in with both feet. But seriously, the only downside is another car payment. His truck gets a large trade in so the payments won't be too much. I guess I just need to sit with it for a little bit and make sure I'm good with it.
