Gone Again!

Okay this is the 4th time this month Mom has gone and left us at the kennel!  That's four times in 25 days!   What the heck is going on?   Every since she brought, "the terrorist" home, she's done nothing but travel.   Coincidence?   I think not!    I think, she's trying to escape this crazy beast we call Bella, a.k.a. The Terrorist.   Don't get me wrong, I understand the need to get away from this little thing for a while.  I just don't understand why Mom doesn't take me with her!  I need to escape too!   I spend more time with the little beast than mom does.   Yes, I admit Bella is cute as she can be but she is just exhausting.   She NEVER gets tired, and I mean never!    My old buddy Chadwick was just chill, like me.   I miss that!  Chill, Bella, chill!   And Mom, take me away with you please!

Bella Who?

I wake up everyday and get to go on a long walk.  Every evening I get to go on another long walk.  And in between, I get to nap, watch TV or just hang with mom.   I've seen deer, at least that is what Mom called them, I thought they just looked like HUGE dogs, bunny rabbits, squirrels and of course lots of other dogs.   I mean this place is amazing!   I don't want to leave.  Really, truly I don't.    Then Mom says to me, "Where's Bella?   Do you miss Bella?"   I'm thinking, uh, NO!   I mean I'm living the life.  I'm getting some peaceful sleep.  I don't have anyone tugging on my ears,  nipping at my legs or pouncing on my back!   This is awesome.   Okay,  I can't lie, maybe, just maybe, I might miss her a tiny bit. 

Finally Some Peace & Quiet....in Ojai

So Mom had told me over a month ago she had booked a "girls" trip for us.   She told me she was taking me to a fancy resort in Ojai, California.   Now I don't know anything about Ojai, but the thought of going bye bye in the car and staying in a fancy hotel always sounds appealing to me!   Then Mom adopted that little beast, Bella and I thought, well there goes our girls trip.  

Well wasn't I pleasantly surprised when mom put me in the car Saturday and off we went, without Bella!  After a couple of hours, well I'm guessing it was a couple of hours.   I mean, I'm a hound dog what do I know?   Anyway we arrived at the resort.  My first thought was, boy am I ready to stretch my legs!  But after that, I thought, this place looks awesome.   Everyone said hello to me, everyone told me how cute I looked.   Can it get any better than this?

Then we get to our room and there in the corner is a bed and two bowls, one with treats and one with a bottle of water.   Boy they sure now how to treat a hound dog in this place!  I look at Mom and wonder, just how long we are going to be here.   Not long enough is my guess.    

Look at me enjoying some Bella free, peace and quiet!  Don't I look cute?

The Nerve of This Thing!

She thinks she can actually share MY chair?    Just who does she think she is?

So Mom Brought This Home...

Healing in Palm Springs

Dear Chadwick, this post is for you.

Chadwick the house just isn't the same without you.  It's much quieter and lonely without you.  Mom decided a change of scenery might do us both some good, so she planned a little road trip for us.   She packed up our stuff, well most of the "stuff" was hers, we hopped in the car and headed for Palm Springs.   She got us a room at a really nice place in Indian Wells that's very pet friendly.   Chadwick, remember the road trip we took to Arizona with Mom?   Well this place reminds me a lot of that place, except we didn't have to be in the car for quite so long!   We got here a lot quicker.  But it is a desert and has lots of sand and mountains.  I want you to know, I have been making Mom take me out for lots and lots of walks, just like we did in Arizona.   Remember that?  We made mommy take us out every 5 minutes and drove her crazy.   I haven't been making her take me out quite that often, but I have gone for multiple walks everyday.  The rest of the time I've spent snoozing.   Now they don't have heavenly pet beds here like they did in Arizona, but they do have a comfy couch!  I've been snoozing on the couch quite a bit and of course the big bed too.  And it's a really big bed.   Way bigger than the one we have it home. Mom forgot to bring my bed, so what's a pup to do?!  I mean, as you know Chaddy Paddy we can't be expected to sleep on the floor!   Luckily Mom did remember to bring the puppy blanket so I at least have something that still smells like you.  Chadwick, please don't be upset with me when I admit I have enjoyed my time here but I have really missed you.  I know we would have had so much fun together!  We could have romped and played in the grass, run mom ragged and just generally goofed off. 

My dearest Chaddy Paddy, you are always top of mind and will always be in my heart.  I love you, I miss you and will never forget you!  Love and miss you buddy!
