From the Grand Canyon to Disney World, the motley crew have ventured all over the US and Norma's even gone up into the skies in a hot air balloon. She couldn't have the courage to do all this without her loyal four-legged companion, Ringo.
Ringo has taken his therapy role very seriously. Norma is not into the edges part of this adventure. He made sure she was calm while sitting on the edge of the abyss.Posted by Driving Miss Norma on Sunday, 8 November 2015
