The signs are favorable...

This is the latest.


Mom ordered two warm sweaters for us on the Internet.


We heard her making reservations at a pet-friendly motel for the first night of our trip in Bradenton, Florida, and we heard her asking the reservation agent what would happen if we happened to bark in the middle of the night. The clerk's answer -- oh, they'll be quiet, won't they? And just then someone crossed our perimeter and we both started barking our heads off!!


We also happen to know that Mom made arrangements for us to be taken care of at a K-9 place near the port while she and Dogdad are at work there the afternoon before and the morning of our setting off for St. Loulis.


Then we just heard something exciting may be brewing in Mayemphis before we get to St. Loulis.


And on the way home from St. Loulis, we've heard we may waggle a bit.


Even more telling, we heard Mom and Dogdad having loooong discussions about whether they should take two of our beds or four (our grandma has an upstairs and a downstairs) and about whether there will even be room in the car for their stuff if we take up so much room.


Oh, and the most critical sign -- we overheard Mom tell one of the nice ladies at camp that no, we won't need our reservation for the Christmas holidays.


So, it sounds as though the folks are keeping their promise to take us with them this year, instead of leaving us behind to wonder what they're up to. Pretty cool, huh?


The Heron-cam is kind of p---ed that he won't be needed (times are tough all over), but decided that, if nothing else materializes, he may come with us anyway.


Stay tuned. If all goes according to plan, next month this time we should be shivering our wirey butts off at Miss Ouri's


In the meantime, we're wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving -- but remember, stay away from that turkey skin and other fatty foods -- they ain't good for us dawgs, no how!!!

Oh boy, oh boy!! Sounds like y'all are going on a road trip for sure!! And it sounds like you may get to meet some DWBers!!! How very exciting. We hope you take loads of pictures so we can see too.
I think you should tell the heron cam dude to fly along with you. Then he can take footage if your humans forget.
Happy Thanksgiving to both of you and your folks!
Hugs

Princess Patches said...

It sounds like you boys are going for sure! You will have soooo much fun! The other people staying in your motel may not have quite as much fun. Mom and Dad used to take their mini Schnauzer on trips and she always barked in the motels. They never got thrown out, though! We hope you all have a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!

Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
