Home again, Home again

Hailey had a fantastic time away and, except for her first night where she kept the house up with her excitement, was wonderful.  She has seriously slept the whole time we have been home. She didn't even try and get into the dishwasher.

Here are some more pictures of her fun weekend away.

I love to run free on the beach! I am so glad the tourists are gone!

Bad wave, I must eat you!

Peace on the beach

All partied out

How am I going to keep both from the others?

 Just let me check my blind spot and we will be on our way. 

Day 3 - I miss my friends

As yesterday was the Big Guy's birthday and a few neighbours were coming over for drinks, my mom decided to board her dogs for the night. For some reason she thought 3 dogs may be too much!

Lee completely disagrees. She cried and cried when they left. However she did have a good time on the beach with her people. Also, once the people were in the house and settled, she settled and didn't mind the party. She is now waiting patiently from her friends to return from jail.

This is great, a fountain for me on the beach!

Day 2 - That little one just won't sleep

After a restless night, the dogs had a very busy day.

After a 4 km walk to the lighthouse, the dogs:

Ran in the front yard (aka the beach)

Took a dip in Lake Huron (yes they were swimming on Nov.25)

Played in the house (Max, facing camera is saying "throw the ball")

And played and played. This is a video of Lee and Tendra

The dogs also had a an almost 2 km walk in the evening. My little muffin was so over stimulated that she had less than an hour sleep all day. Everyone else was exhausted but the energizer bunny kept going and going and going, and finally after dinner crashed.  We had a much better sleep and are now ready to take on today!

Day 1

I must say the car ride to the lake was much better than anticipated. For the most part Hailey just sat in the middle of the back seat. It actually felt more spacious then I had imagined (remember I have flown economy to Indonesia, so I know cramped!)

Just hanging with my Aunt C

Hailey did not enjoy her time with her Great Grandmother. She found the apartment boring. She kept asking to go out, and she had to bark at my Grandmother's china pig. She thinks it is alive for some reason.

Are we there yet?

As soon as we got to the top of the hill to come down to the Lake, Lee knew where she was (she has been her 2 times before). She was so excited. Then for the next 6 hours, the 3 puppies played. Then people tried to go to sleep and Miss Lee was up and down and around all night. She managed to basically keep the whole house up all night. I am not sure which two, but in the night often 2 of the 3 dogs were in my bed. My parents report Lee joining them as well. We have all voted that 3 dogs will be wearing socks tonight so we don't have to listen to the little footsteps on the hardwood.

This morning we are all back in play mode. Action pictures of all the puppy play to follow later today (once my camera has charged).  We are all hopeful for a nap this afternoon. The puppies are thrilled but the people all could use some more sleep!

An adventure

Today we are going on an adventure.
4 adults and Lee will be traveling nearly 700 km in my car, a Chevy HHR (similar to the one pictured below).
We will be stopping for lunch in Guelph to spend time with Lee's Great Grandmother (I am not sure my Grandmother would appreciate being called my dog's Great Grandmother, but oh well!).
Then we will be continuing to Grammie and the Big Guy's for the Big Guy's big birthday. Lee will get to play with Max and Tendra (both 3 year old black labs). She is very excited. She is also very excited to be getting Thanksgiving dinner today (she is originally from the States after all!)


Imagine us all in this car . . . .  it will be a fun adventure!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wordless Wednesday

I hate my sweater - as told by Lee

Oh this morning I was so excited to be going on a walk with my lady. She was neglectful last week and didn't spend enough time with me (I know about the kittens, I could smell them all over her!), so I was extra thrilled. I was running around barking and then she pulled it out. The stupid sweater. She put it on me.  She told me I looked cute, but I know I looked ridiculous.

 I tried to show my distain by refusing to leave the house, but she made me. So I thought I would show her during our walk. I tried to walk extra fast to throw her off. I tried being very jumpy and actually almost got hit by a bike when I jumped in front of it. I don't know why a 17 year old was riding his bike down the sidewalk. I tried to be bad by finding a piece of toast under a bush and refusing to drop it and she had to pry it out of my mouth. I also tried being a bad walker. This is how I walked every time I was near grass:

But alas this behaviour didn't let me escape from the horrible sweater. She still made me wear it. I had to wear it until I was home. My lady told me I am lucky to have a Grammie who loves me enough to make me sweaters, but I don't feel lucky. I will tell Grammie on Thursday when I see her that this is mean.

I hope it is warmer tomorrow.
