More California

We're not really in California still, but I promised to tell you more about our trip.  So here goes:

One day we went to see my Aunt Joyce, Uncle Ron and Cousin Frosty in Los Angeles.  I'd never met any of these relatives before.  I'm not sure my cousin Frosty was real happy to see me.  He went and hid as soon as I got there.


And then when I tried to get him to come out, he ran and hid in the casita.  But that was kind of fun, 'cuz there were lots of drums and music stuff in there.  I went in and found him hiding between the drums.  

After awhile I managed to coax him out and things got better.  We took a long walk, had lunch by the beach and played by the pool.


You can see my cousin Frosty watching me fetch my Frisbee from the pool.  He was OK with my being there by then.  He even showed my how to work his Doggie Door.  
And I went through it!  But Mom didn't get THAT picture.
  
All in all, it was a fun day.  And when we went back to our place in Orange, Mom and Dad took me with them to dinner.  I really, really, really like going to dinner with Mom and Dad.  They asked the waiter to take a picture of all three of us, but I was more interested in the treat in Dad's hand then in posing for a picture.

It was a good ending to a good day.  We left for Scottsdale the next day.  We had a good California vacation.  

Let me know if you need any suggestions for vacationing in California.  I know lots of good places now.

Love, G.

Dangerous Waters in California!

So Mom and Dad and I went on a vacation.  I know, you think we're already on vacation all-l-l-l-l the time?  Well, actually we are.  So I guess we took a vacation from our vacation and went someplace new and I got to go!  It was soooooo great that I got to go too.  Sometimes they leave me with Mrs. Jan, but this time I got to go.  

We went to a place called Old Towne Orange in California.  We stayed in a little cottage that was made just for me?  
See, they even put up a cute little picket fence so I could go outside without a leash and no one could harm me.  (And I couldn't get out and get lost since I didn't know my way around yet.)

And I made myself right at home on the back porch.

It was really cool!  In more ways than one.  In fact it got down to 58 degrees in the mornings.  Not like in Scottsdale where it was still 88 degrees in the morning.  This was very pleasant.

I even had back yard friends to meet.  Just like in Clayton and in Arizona.  Only these were really big parrots!  They were awfully noisy.  There were hundreds of them.  I talked to one or two of them.  This is my friend, Peter.

Then we went exploring.  I really liked that Mom and Dad took me exploring with them.  We went to a place called Huntington Dog Beach.  I didn't know what a beach is.  But now I do.  A beach is a fun, fun place.  There is lots of sand and lots of dogs to play with.  

But a beach is different from a Dog Park, cuz it has weird water that attacks you.  You see, I went and did my favorite water thing, which is to sit in a few inches of water so I can watch the world go by and be really cool!





Suddenly.  A big thing of water came at me.  Like it had legs and was running right at me.  I had to hurry up and get outta there fast!
(No, that's not me doing what you think I might be doing!  That's me getting outta there fast!)

But pretty soon, I realized that the thing of water (Mom says its called a "Wave", wasn't going to hurt me, I ran and chased it and ran with the other dogs and just had a whole lot of wet fun.







It was great!  I have lots more to tell you about our trip.  But I gotta go and have my dinner now.  I hope you get to go to a Dog Beach like mine.  You'd really really really like it.

Love, G

Hi, y'all!

  Bet you've been wondering what happened to me?  It's a long story.  Started back when Mom and Dad left me in California while they...
