a busy weekend

Mom and I had a really fun weekend out of town.  Going on vacation is always a little stressful, because I usually have to get in my carrier, which gets kind of claustrophobic if I have to stay in it for more than a half hour.  But it's usually worth it.

First we went to Bryn Mawr for a bit, which was kind of confusing because Libby wasn't there.  It was still really fun, though. We sat in the backyard, and I chased rabbits and squirrels, and got a little bit sunburned.

Then the next day, we drove down to visit cousin Emma and her new baby brother, cousin Will.

We had a great time in Maryland. I got to play with Emma and Will's dogs, Moose and Sky, and we went to two different parks, and mom put sunscreen on me this time.  Oh, and I MIGHT have kind of clawed up the rug a little bit in the guest bedroom... but that's only because all the humans went out to dinner and you know how it is when you're left somewhere unfamiliar--it can be scary.  I told aunt Jen I was really sorry.  Anyway, Will is cute and all, but Emma is the best--when it's her lunchtime, you can bet there's going to be something delicious winding up on the ground.

So then we went back to Bryn Mawr for a bit, and I got to see my pal Wonka next door, and play frisbee in the park, and then we had to go back home to New York.  It was a little easier being stuck in my carrier this time, but then it started pouring while we were walking from the subway, and I was miserable and soaking wet by the time we were home. And to top it off, I had to take a bath. 

I've been sleeping the rest of the day now, because let me tell you, a weekend like that leaves you in serious need of some shuteye.

Asleep at the wheel

I also like to snuggle up on the lap of whoever is driving. Mom doesn't get it, but it really is comfy, nestled in between a warm lap and the steering wheel.

Greetings from LBI!

Wish you were here.

On second thought, I don't really care WHERE you are. I just hope you're having as good a time as I am. I am at the Jersey shore, hanging out with my aunt Libby and being the cutest grandpuppy ever. I ventured a few inches into the water the other day, and that was interesting, let me tell you. I've been sharing Libby's bed with her, and snoozing in the sun, and running around like a crazy dog all day long. It's great. I do wonder where my mom is, though...

puppy kisses,

weekend at the shore

Mom and I went to the shore for the holiday weekend, and we had a lot of fun. I got to snooze in the sun...

and play with Libby...

and run around with our neighbors there, Roxy & Ruby (also Labradoodles). They are water dogs--which I am NOT--and they run much faster than I do, but we still all had a good time together.

The township doesn't allow dogs on the beach during the summer, but that's ok, because there was plenty of space for me to run around outside even without walking over to the ocean.

Mom's friend Annie came along, too. She is a good person to nap next to. I like her a lot.

I think Libby is still my favorite nap partner, though.

my vacation in Pennsylvania

A few weeks ago, Mom went on vacation to Tucson, and I went on vacation to Pennsylvania to stay with my aunt Libby and her mom. Libby is a labradoodle, which means she's a big dog.  But I'm not intimidated by her at all.  Plus I'm good at sharing, so we had a good time playing together.

It was lots of fun getting to run around the park and the backyard.

We kind of tired each other out, but that's ok, because I'm good at sharing the bed, too (and so is Libby).
