Riverwind Road Trip

 

 We hit the road around 9:30 this morning--Grandogma, Dad and Mom piled in with our stash--treats, camera, water and of course, me!  At first, I wasn't sure if this was going to be another trip to the vet or puppy school but I figured it out real quick--this wasn't going to be short ride to just anywhere--we were headed someplace called Riverwind and there was talk about Lucia, her Mom, Katie and sisters, Junebug and BJ.  I took a nap and before I knew it we pulled into the long drive at Riverwind...and man were there some BIG Shilohs!  I was letting them know as soon as they came up to the truck that they'd better step back.  Mom and Dad had never heard my new, bad-girl bark before.  Well, Deb and Jan (Batman's Mom) came out of the house and put the big dogs up.  Now, I'm not too sure if all my barking was going to save my furry rear if they slipped back out so I decided maybe I would just stay in the truck afterall.  But no, out I came and into the house.  

This Deb lady is really nice.  She asked permission to give me treats (thanks, Mom for saying yes) so I did my 'sit' like I've been taught and got several treats and lots of hugs.  Well, introductions began and Junebug and BJ did the sniffy-butt-noselick-what are you doing in our house-tolerate-you thing.  Katie didn't come in though--she was really barking and I think had her 'I'm the Mom around here and you'd better behave' attitude goinig on so I stayed clear of her.  

Everyone went to the puppy place and played with the puppies while Grandogma and I sat and waited. (Mom said she'd get some puppy pictures up here very soon). Well, I was pretty scared that Katie was going to come right in there and who knows what! So, I kept getting closer and closer to Grandogma and before I knew it, she  let me get right up on the couch and I got to sit right next to her.  Well, I've never been on furniture before and when Dad came in, he was NOT happy about it.  Grandogma told him 'What happens with Grandogma, stays with Grandogma' so that was that...bet I'd better not do that again.

It was time to go 'cause we had more people to see.  Thanks Deb for a super visit and for all the treats and hugs.  Oh, Happy 1st Birthday BJ, Junebug and all of Lucia's other brothers and sisters.

After another stop, we headed back home.  It's a lot of work being good and keeping my humans safe.
