Hello Friends.
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
