So I come inside from doing a patrol of the property and what do I see?
MOM's "going away" bag. Woo Hoo! We are taking a trip, an adventure.
"Hey MOM where are we going?"
"I'm going Goosie"
"You mean WE are going."
"Oh Bubba Goo I wish you could come, but I am taking the youth at church on their annual summer retreat to Bear Lake."
"I love Bear Lake! We've been there lots of times."
"I know but the cabin I rented for them does not allow dogs."
"Look you can just sneak me into the cabin in your bag. No one will notice."
"Ummmm, yea, I don't think that will work. But you get to go stay at Bert's place while I'm gone."
"You know I love Bert, butt I want to come with you {tear forming in my eye}."
"Gooseberry there is nothing I would want more, but it's just not possible. Don't worry you will have a great time at Bert's."
"{tears falling on my whiskers} OK. {sniff sniff}. If I have to go then I will need to pack a few things."
"Can't leave Billy home alone. And you know I need to keep an eye on Sneaky Snake. This cool drool Frosty Paws pack is coming in handy."
"OK, you can take Billy and Sneaky."
"Wait, I'm not done yet."
"Can't forget Jeremiah and Cheeto and if I take Cheeto then his friend Girly Gorilla needs to come. Oh and a few bottles of Chasing Tail to share with all the dogs at Bert's."
"I'm not sure Miss Vickie allows beer at her place."
"Butt it has Bert's picture on it. She'll be fine with it, trust me."
"Is that all?"
"Oh I better bring my treat bucket. I promise I'll share with everypup."
"OH and one more thing, I better take this picture of you and me."
"Goose I am not sure that is necessary."
"Trust me IT IS!"
"I don't think all of that will fit in your pack."
"It will all fit, just stick Jeremiah, Girly and our picture in the side pocket."
Well my friends looks like I'll be spending several days with my buddy Bert. Guess I won't be able to stop by your places for a little while. I tried to get the laptop in my pack but that would mean I would have to leave behind my picture of my MOM and well, well that is just not possible. If you are in our area stop by Bert's for a beer and yummy salmon treats.
Blessings,
Goose
Goose, I don't like when Mom goes away either, but I bet you will have a blast with Bert and pals. I will cross paws for GooseMom to have a safe and wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
Goose, we think you might need an extra paw or two getting that stuff over to Bert's. MOL! We hope your Mom and her wards have a wonderful and safe trip. XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteGoose...You made me laugh over all your luggage. We may be related. Hope you have a good time at Bert's and that mom and the kids have a great time at their retreat.
ReplyDeleteNo worries Goose we see you when we see you. Have fun at Berts' place. Have a serene Sunday and stay cool.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
have a wonderful time with Bert, you certainly will not be missing anything at all, except of course MOM...
ReplyDeleteOh, Goose, you are so funny! I know you will have a great time with Bert. We will miss you while you are away.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you just need one of those rolling suitcases for you stay....we know you will miss your mom but you will have a blast at Bert's place
ReplyDeleteOh Goosey, you have some many cool things, I wouldn't want to leave any of them at home either. And I love how one friend can't leave the other at home. We hope your Momma has a nice time, but we also hope she comes back soon for ya!
ReplyDeleteOh Goose, that is so sad that you can't go with your Mom and we know she is sad about that too. But you will have so much fun with Bert especially since you are taking everything in the house with you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGood thing you won that Frosty Paws backpack so you can pack all your things for your trip to Bert's. Have fun. We can't wait to hear all about your adventures when we get back.
ReplyDeleteMillie & Walter
Goose, you are too cute for words this morning! That's a lot of stuff to be packing and somehow we think you're gonna get it all smushed in your new backpack. You may want to paw-carry the picture so the glass doesn't break.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at Bert's and you'll be back home before you know it.
Hugs,
Lily Belle & Muffin
BOL - gotta love the Chasing Tail!
ReplyDeleteMom's the same way when she travels - she wants the things that make her happy and comfortable to come with. ...and yes, it makes the suitcase heavy!
Sam
Safe travels to mom and youth and Goose you are an extraordinary packer of important things. Have a good visit w Bert and remember no getting in stinky stuff
ReplyDeleteHugs
Madi your bfff
it's a good thing you won that special backpack. Hope your MOM has a great adventure with those kids and you have a wonderful time with Bert and pals. We will check in next week. hugs
ReplyDeleteWho is a dog? You are a Weim. I wish we could spend this time together, I'm sure we would have tons of fun. But to be together with Bert sounds great too! Have a good time at Casa Bert and I hope your mom has a great time at the Bear Lake.
ReplyDeleteGOOSE.... how could your mom even THINK that you could survive without all of your STUFFS??? Your Frosty Paws Back Pack arrived just in time... BUTT buddy we think you might need to think of a WAGON fur those EXTRA THINGYS.
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you butt know that both YOU and your mom are gonna have a super duper time... even though they will be very different.
Say hi to BERT fur us... butt stay away from Allred... he scares us, you know.
Hari Om
ReplyDeleteGracious Goose, that's some excess luggage you got going there! All important stuffs though, I agree. Mom will bring back lots of piccies for you and lots of tails ..er.. tales to share, as I am sure you will have for her.
and we all look forward to sharing in them!! Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xx
Bet you will have a great time hanging out with Bert and we know Miss Vickie will take good care of you. Your are so sweet to take the picture of you and Mom with you. your Mom will have fun too although probably not as much fun as it would be with you there too.

Have a great time at Bert's! I know he'll treat you right. And isn't that backpack just the best? We love ours!

OMD Goosie, I loves this post so much. One can never be too prepared for these kinds of outings, you knows. Keep an eye on your stuffies, and I knows your mama will be back soon!
ReplyDeletelove,

Have a good time with Bert, Goose. You sure know how to pack! I'm going to take lessons from you.
ReplyDeleteTell your mom to have a good time at camp, too!
Hey Bubba Goo!
ReplyDeleteWow, that alone makes me rofl! Anyway, I'm sorry your peep is abandoning you, but I think an outing with Bert would be a ton of fun. Good thing you got that pack, but I think you need another one. I'd never leave that pawesome gorilla. I could send my Mom over to sit on your pack and that should help you fit more in! BOL ahem.
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
Well Goose it's a sad thing when the moms go away without us but you do get a chance to use your kewl new pack and it looks like you can fit all your essentials in it...Have a great time with Bert and we'll see you soon
ReplyDeleteI knew that backpack was gonna get some good use Goose!! Sorry your MOms is leavin', butts she'll be safe, and you will gets to take care of Bert and all the doggies there. And, you'll have your Moms pic under your pillow if you need extra comfort!

From My VIckie
ReplyDeleteMy Dear Goose, We are so excited to have you come and stay with us for a while and you know I love it when your mom sends treats for everyone, but my little Goose dear.....you know the house is very very small and we do not have very much storage room so I must ask you to leave Sneaky Snake behind. I know this will be hard, but besides not having much room, I do beleive Sneaky Snake would be in danger here. (You know how Bert is with just about everything he can lay his mouth on) But don't worry, we will do our very best to make you as comfortable as possible while Miss Michelle is away. We have your bed ready, your food bowl, the pools are all filled, the trees are offering lots of shade and Allred is in a particularly good mood these days so it should be a painless visit for you.
Love
My Vickie
Wow Goose, you do know how to travel. We know how hard it is to leave OUR Mommy so we do understand. Bet you have a fantastic time. See ya when you get back. We could snake sit for Sneaky Snake while your gone. Mommy used to have a Sneaky Snake named Clyde when she was young.

Aw, Goose. I know you're gonna miss your mama but it sure sounds like Bert and his mama are gonna be welcoming you with open paws. Did you remember to pack a camera?
ReplyDeleteGolden Laughs! Mom said she got to buy those Bert's beer. You have a PAWsome time with Bert. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteHoomins like to Go Visit places sometimes. But Mom will be back, don't worry. :)
ReplyDeleteWe know you will have a great time with Bert! And you are definitely prepared! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHave fun! Tell Bert we said hi. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great time buddy
ReplyDeleteWe are sure you are going to have a good time, but we think it was great you made your mom feel a bit bad about leaving you. You are more likely to get treats this way!
ReplyDeleteWOW Goose, you have quite a load in that backpack. Yes, I would say you definately need the picture!! You will have fun at Berts and she will be home before you know it.
