On the Road Again: A few pictures from vacation

 

These are our happy faces.  Vacation means a new adventure to far away places.  Mom got out the dog hammock for our deluxe traveling pleasures.  It is like first class flying for dogs!  I actually cry a lot in the beginning, because I can't get to my mom, but then I curl up and enjoy the ride.  As you can see even Grandpa Charlie is a happy campy when we are leaving for an adventure.  Where are we going?  Let me tell you.  Over the river and through the woods to Christian's house we go.  We go to this place called Missouri where the sun is warm, and the armadillos play.  We did have a close encounter with some cayotes, but I did a howl and they were gone.  

When we are in Missouri, I have to expend a lot of energy.  The yard is bigger to protect which requires me to run around a lot more.  Barnabus and Dalek keep me on my toes.  Barnabus is a puppy and thinks that he has to play and attack at all times.  I think Christian is kinda shady and I have to protect my mom constantly.  Christian isn't allowed to make noise when my mom is sleeping in her bedroom.  I stay up all night just listening to those noises and making sure no one comes near.  During the day when my mom is reading, I have to catch up on my beauty sleep.  I prop my head up so I can watch mom, but then I let my eyes close.  The sun does wonders for a puppy's disposition.  Sometimes I have to sneak a nap in when the baby Barnabus is sleeping.  He is really cute when he isn't moving, eating, or have his eyes open.  When he is alert, I am just a growling thing.  He really does get on my nerves even though he looks incredibly sweet.  I do want you to take notice that I like him enough not to attack him for stealing my mom's lap.  I guess he really is growing on me.
