What a road trip we had!

Wow, OMG, what a road trip we had!

Two weeks ago we did another road trip.  First off, Mom packed up the car to the brim!  I was sitting in my bed on the front seat, window height!  I could look out the window without standing up!  Amazing, what I saw.  First off, Dad would pull up out of nowhere, and roll his window down and call my name!  How does he do that?  He wasn’t in the car with us, but when we stopped for gas, he just appeared?  Then when we stopped for lunch, there he was again! Finally figured out he was in another car!  Don’t know why, but we traveled in two cars.
We finally arrived at my sissy’s house in Morgan Hill!  Yeah! cool weather, a backyard to run in and lots of fun things to do!  My sissy takes me for a walk at night downtown.  We get to visit all the people eating outside, and I even try to walk inside the restaurants.  She, of course, stops me, but I keep trying anyway!  Love this town, people stop to pet me and say “Hi!”  One night a friend stopped by her house.  She bought a little person to play with me.  Her name was Brooklynn.  She was just my size.  I could jump up and give her a kiss, and she petted me.  I didn’t know there were people that small!  We don’t have them in the desert. She was really nice.  And she had a baby brother.  He had poopy pants, but was cute anyway!

I tell you there is always something happening at my sissy’s.  Dad is building a deck in her yard for her.  All his friends are helping him.  There are two guys in their 60’s one is his 70’s, and the best worker is 50!  Wow, these old guys are really doing a great job! The first morning, I stepped out the back door, and didn’t know which direction to go.  There was a framework of boards everywhere! I had to jump over the boards, then crawl under them to get to the back alley, where I do my business!  I have privacy.  No one can watch me.  I don’t like an audience when I have to do my business!  Anyway, the next day, there were a few boards to walk onto, then it dropped off again.  This seems to be taking a lot of time!

On Wednesday, we went to a parade!  Mom and Dad left early, and I walked over with Kendel later!  Never been to a parade!  There were all sorts of people walking and playing music, then there were these large animals with long tails that people were riding!  Mom said they were horses.  Never seen a horse. They smell differently than dogs.  And they are big!  They don’t come by the golf course.  Only dogs and carts there!  Then there were these tiny miniature horses, I tried to run out and see them, but my sissy stopped me!  Drat, it would have been fun to play with them. People were coming by all the time and tried to pet me, three asked to take their picture with me.  I am very popular with the crowds.

After a few hours of this, we all got into the car and went back to Kendel’s house.  Whew— was I tired.  It’s hard being a celebrity.  I needed a nap!  Glad Dad is not working on the deck today!  He makes a lot of noise!  Mom and Dad went out to dinner with friends, and when they returned, boy was there a lot of noise that night.  I heard Bang, rat-a-tat, bang, and on it went into the night.  At one point I was on the bed with Mom, and I finally got down and climbed under the bed.  It was not as noisy there.  Boy what a loud night!  Hope it doesn’t do that every night.  Mom kept trying to tell me it was July 4th, but I don’t know what that has to do with anything.

Finally the deck is finished!  Boy, did Dad do a great job!  And Robert, the 50 year old guy, what a hard worker he is. He moves so fast, I chase him.  He thinks I want to bite him, but I am just trying to catch him, ‘cause he moves so fast!.  Almost caught him once, he put his finger out to say “no,” and I grabbed it!  Mom was not happy with me at all!

Mom and Dad invited all Kendel’s friends and the workers to a Deck Warming Party!  And my little friend Brooklynn came too!  What a cutie she is.  And she fed me some caramel corn that Mom made.  I really like her!  Next day, we were in the car again, but this time, Dad was with us!  I guess we were heading home again!  Well I was right, but when we arrived, it was 115 degrees!  Ugh!  I wish we were back up north again!
