Vacation Recap: Beach Time!

Wet Dagan looking up at the camera
I LOVE the beach!! SO much fun! I love the waves crashing over my feet! I love burying my nose in the sand! I love when the water comes in fast, hits us hard, shoots up Mom's pants and makes her scream! Hahaha!

I also had lots of fun running with Brian and Dad! Brian loved to get wet too! Dad tried to help Brian and I find some crabs, but all our holes kept filling up with water and making me leap into the air!

So I would run to the end of my flexi leash, then dash back, zoom past Mom and all the way back to the end of my flexi. SO much fun! But, it was kinda tiring!

So, I decided to try to stand on my nose in the sand. It didn't work so well. That sand comes flying up your nose when you breath in. Yuck! It caused me to sputter, so I have up trying to stand on my nose. Oh well.

4th of July









OK, here we go with my game of catch up! We woke up bright and early on the 4th and headed off to town for breakfast. I took a little snooze under the table. I was so good, Mom almost forgot me! Thankfully, Dad had my leash! Yeesh! Some people!

Then, it was off to the street to watch the parade!
I sat so patiently and waited for people to get settled around me. I must be crazy to post this next picture and actually admit that this guy was with me, but here goes...
Yup. That's my Papa. My eyes may never recover! My sanity certainly never will!

After the giant flag passed, we all settled in for the rest of the parade. It was great to watch! Lots of fire trucks, groups walking by and all sorts of fun.

I, of course, was a fabulous representative for GDB. I was so well behaved (FAR better behaved that the people in front of us!)

After the parade, we headed back to the house because Hestia was waiting at home in her crate (she's too little to go to the parade). It was ton of fun, but I needed a nap!

Discombobulated!

OK, I know that my vacation posts are quite discombobulated. When I have time on my paws, I get overly excited about something happening in the "now" and just post it. Like when Cabana got here today. I'm 4 1/2 hours away from home. How did she find me to come for a visit?!?! I was so excited that I just had to tell you about it!

It is also SO easy to get distracted on vacation! One minute I am relaxing, planning a blog post, then *bam* we are off to the beach! Or shopping! Or out for the people to eat! Then, when we get home, I have to eat and play and rest. Then, just as I am planning another blog post, it happens all over again!

I promise to make it all make sense! We are headed home tomorrow. Mom and Dad still have a couple days off work, so we are going to hang together and have some local fun. Can't wait!

Road Trip!!

Vacation started with many hours in the car. Ugh! Mom and Dad packed a crate - which is kinda off, cause I'm a big dog now! I don't use crates much!

Not too far into our trip, we stopped to pick up this cutie:
Hestia lying on the floor asleep

Hestia is way sweet! Her family was going away on plane and she is too little to go. So, she's why the crate was coming!

After we loaded her up, it was time for the long drive. I hung out in the back next to the crate for a long time, but then I got tired of not being able to see where we were going. So, I climbed over all the luggage and settled in with a better view.

It was great to see out the window and be near my two favorite peeps! Or - and a pillow always makes the ride better! Comfy!

Vacation Time!

Vacation! All I ever wanted! Vacation! I need to get away!

I'm all packed! Well, sort of! I would be packed if I had thumbs to work with. Dad hung out with me today and we started getting stuff ready. We ditched my kitty friends at the kennel and got the oil changed in the car. We did some laundry and watered the veggies.

Mom and Dad are working on packing. My friend Hestia is going with us. We pick her up bright and early tomorrow morning. Then, we are off! Yippy! Family! Friends (dog and human)! Beach! Parades! Touristy stuff! Fun! Can't wait!

I'll have great pics to post!
