Oreo's Odyssey..day 4

Oreo's Odyssey..day 4

There's no place like home.

Dear Grand pups 

Today we are heading home. I like this thing called "Road Trip".  I have the whole back seat to nap .  I can curl up in my bed, or rest on the seat. I have on my safety vest and seat belt that keeps me from getting into the front seat with Diva and Poppa. I miss sitting in their laps!  Diva pets me when I get restless and sometimes gives me a treat.  I tend to sleep a lot on long drives. The rhythm of the road rocks me to sleep.

We stop frequently for something called gas for the car.  However Diva doesn't  like it when I pass gas.  She makes Poppa stop and walk me around.  So far I've  peed  or pooped in every state we been through. Poppa says I have marked my way to get back to Uncle Joe's  house. 

 

We stopped at a gas station called Love's.  They had a pet park just for dogs.  It is fenced in so an old boy can run, stiff, explore, or relief himself.  Diva and Poppa ate their lunch and gave me my lunch.  I couldn't  eat though as I was too excited by all the noises, and smells.  I did get a long drink of water though which was really good as I was a thirsty dog.

I can tell that Poppa is tired and grumpy about something called a detour.  I think he is ready to be home .  I will be glad to be there too, so I can cuddle up in Diva's  lap for a snooze.

I loved being at Uncle Joe's  house but there really is "no place like home" cause I am the center of my little universe there.  I love my pack, my Alpha and especially my mom.  I do make exceptions for grand pups, come visit any time, I will share Diva's  lap with you.

Your old pal Oreo.

0re0' s Odyssey; day 3

Dear Grand pups, 

Hi, this is your old pal 0re0 the wonder dog.  Wow, this morning after breakfast Uncle Joe gave each of us dogs a Biscotti.   I have never had one before but I could get used to it very quickly.  I wonder if Diva and Poppa will start this tradition with me?  It sounds like a delightful way to start the day.  I wiggled my tail for all it was worth to make sure Uncle Joe noticed me too.  He laughed and told me I was a good boy before he gave me my treat.  I sure hope we can stay here for a long time.

Everybody left to go visit the great grandmother in the nursing home. They didn't invite me or my cousins to come.  I was sad cause  I like old people since I'm an old boy myself.  I  could look cute and cuddle up in great grandmother's lap to keep her nice and toasty warm if they had only asked. Instead, I took a long-overdue nap in my kennel.

It rained really hard today and I found out cousin Annie doesn't like lightning or loud noises like fireworks or gunshots.  Auntie Bobbie assured me that when the weather got better Annie would be her own sweet self again and she was.

Diva and Poppa let me run out of the ungated front yard to go potty. What freedom!  They never let me run loose in the city.  You know I came back for a treat. I sure am going to miss all this v.i.p. treatment when we go home.

Guess who got stung in the neck by a hornet?  Poor darling Diva, that's who. Poppa and Aunt Bobbie were so sorry but Diva was very brave and didn't cry.  I cuddled up with her and so did my cousin Tabby.  We looked cute and adorable to make her feel better.

After dinner Uncle Joe called us dogs over for cookies.  I hope we never leave!

Here are some pictures of our adventures.  See you tomorrow. Your old pal 0re0.

Road trip to Sugar Loaf

Today is the last day of the old year. It is a time of reflection and introspection and a time to make future plans and cast new visions. We have enjoyed our time in New York and yesterday we went on a road trip to Sugar Loaf, New York. Sugar Loaf is an Arts and crafts village with all kinds of specialties. We enjoyed looking at the small shops and I bought a handmade bar of soap with orange and cinnamon. It smells great! I also bought a new bracelet and a Christmas ornament. I like getting an ornament that reminds me of some of our trips. Suzy and I enjoyed the candle shop. The outside of the shop was cute with huge candles near the entrance and on the sign. If you look closely you'll see Oscar peeking out from the sling under Suzy's coat. This was his first road trip and also his first time in a restaurant. This diva is racking up a bunch of firsts. The inside of the candle shop smelled heavenly and the candles were all brightly colored and hung from the ceiling. It was really beautiful and a fun place to visit. Tim took several pictures of the candles. The colors are so vivid compared to the rough-hewed beams on the ceiling. Those of you who know me well, know I love snowmen so if there is one around you can be sure I'll find him. This one isn't made from the snow but does greet winter visitors to Sugar Loaf. He seemed pleased to see me and never complained no matter how many pictures we took. Tuesday turned out to be the perfect day to go on a road trip. Today has been cold and snowy and a perfect day for staying home, curling up with a cuppa tea and a good book. Suzy has been working on our Christmas pictures (so everyone looks better than we are!) and has some big plans for Oscar's first New Years' celebration. Film at 11 (okay, so maybe more like next year.) Happy New Year to you and your family.

Off to the Big Apple

Daisy has left the patch. On my way to New York City to see the chicks.

 Mr. Wonderful and I are on a road trip to check out our car before heading down South to Savannah. I haven't seen my New Yorkers in almost a year so this is one excited Momma. We are taking a long weekend so won't be coming back till Monday.

Play nice and think kind thoughts. Film at 11 (well, at least lots of pictures!) Daisy
