Our summer vacation - part 1

Ok, so you probably realize that we don't really take "vacations", as there really isn't anything we dogs do that even remotely resembles "work". But Richie and Christine do, so this was our first trip for our summer vacation. We started by hitching up that trailer thingy, and then we got into the Rover (without Christine) and we drove for a long time till we got to Richie's parent's place.

When we arrived, we were astounded to find that not only Lupin and Humphrey were there, but also Chelsey, that loopy yellow Lab that hangs out with Richie's brother. Chelsey had been to the vet recently, and was wearing that crazy lampshade thingy. Humphrey didn't like it, and so they didn't get along, and we had to keep them separated the whole time - weird.

Paisley and I have been here before, and it was much the same. We sat around in the shade, while Richie swam in the pool. We would have normally gone for walks n' stuff, but it was so hot, we didn't want to go anywhere, and just wanted to lie on the cool tiles and sleep. We had a place to "relieve" ourselves, as Pa Chin has an orchard with nice cool shade and grass that we would use to do our thing. In the morning and late evenings, we'd walk down to the school, and run around in the shade for a few minutes to get ourselves tired out.

After a couple of days, Chelsey and her humans left, and Harley and his humans arrived. I tell you, this place is doggy central! They even arrived with a cat, Pekoe, who doesn't really like me. I'm no stranger to cats, and for the most part, I'm ok to leave them alone. But this one hisses at me! Like, what did I ever do to it?

Anyhow, we had another day of staying by the pool - Paisley even found her "place" in the stairwell that led to the basement. Very cool.

Next - part 2.
