Home Again!

Yesterday was our last day to drive on this road trip. It was a day of great achievement for me.

I am supposed to wear my harness when I ride in the car. It is to keep me safe, according to muzzer. Yesterday I got strapped in as usual. But no one checked the straps. And I have lost weight since we drove to St. Louis, and have recently noted that there is considerably more wiggle room in the harness. AHA! Yesterday I used that wiggle room to squirm out of my restraint! Of course, I stealthily made my way to the front seat, and my favoritest spot in the whole world! Muzzer's lap!
Then I carefully checked out the shoes and travel ephemera that she keeps there! Scored a cashew that got away from Dad, and got to sniff muzzer's sneakers. Cashew was better. Well, short of pulling off in an emergency stop, there was no way these two were going to wrestle me into the back seat again. And with one of them focused on driving, the odds were even more in my favor. So, I spent the time until lunch happily warming muzzer's lap and watching the clouds from the front window.
Unfortunately, this was not a great cloud day.

I did not see a Butchy and Snickers cloud. I saw one cloud that sort of, kind of, looked like Boo Cassanova, and if I squinted really hard, I could almost see Oscar in the cloud at the very top of this picture, rolling on his back and being silly. Muzzer said we sometimes see what we want in the clouds, and that she did not really think it looked like Oscar. She is the cloud expert, and she is probably right. Directly after lunch at a patio cafe in Payson, I went back into the back seat and the harness was tightened to my new, slimmer girth. Curses! No more front seat adventures this trip. We got home and Teka was still here, so my prayers have not been answered. She did not elope with Tanner(ito). Ah well, it is company on AM walkies.

DAD IS BACK!

Hi Doggies!

Yesterday my muzzer left BEFORE dinner and said: "You and Teka be good, and I will bring back a surprise!"

So, we were good (sort of ) and when she got back AFTER dinner she did have a surprise. She found DAD! He has been missing for a long time...well, more than a week anyway, and she found him at the airport.

So, Me n Teka decided to help him unpack so he wouldn't leave again.

He was in England and Scotland, and we were hoping maybe he brought Jackson home with him, or maybe Marvin.

Nope: No Jackson, no Marvin...not even any haggis. Boy, Dad is not much fun. You'd think he worked all the time he was gone or something.


So, since there really wasn't much of any interest in his suitcase, we decided we would just have a bit of a romp on the big bed. That was great fun, and just so you all know that SOMETIMES I am the winner, here I am with Teka in a good neckbite. Silly muzzer gets a bit upset when we romp like this, but it is usually all in good clean fun. This all came to a rather abrupt end when we tumbled right off the side of the bed. Muzzer apologizes for the lack of a photo of that event, but she was laughing so hard she couldn't find the button on the camera!
