Oh what fun...

Strange things have been happening lately... Lots of talk about packing, water, checking the weather. Well Friday night I got loaded up in the backseat of dad's truck and there is my fuzzy bed and my favorite kong??? What's going on? Abbey got to go in Grandma's truck and away we all went.


We traveled for a few hours, which my parents tell me I did wonderful. I got to get out and pee and all that stuff... surprise, surprise since daddy isn't happy with mom when she has to go... And I got water and food breaks, but pretty much I slept. After a loonnggg nap we pulled into the driveway of a great little house. I think they were a little more excited than I was. I don't appreciate being woke up... BUT... There were so many new smells and textures under my pads. They walked me down to the lake to sniff and explore. The moon was out shining on the lake and unfortunately so were the bugs, mom and dad needed to get some sleep anyways so we retired for what was left of the night.

Saturday we woke up and did some chores... but I was getting restless. Mom took me down to play ball. Wow, off I went like a butt-tuckin, teeth-showin, ears-flappin wild man after the ball and with it a mouth full of gritty, native Maine sand. Didn't slow me down though. Next I decided to discover the lake, even though mom was a little apprehensive. A bit chilly, but I took take of that by scootchin around on my back in the warm sand.


I'm not sure why they were so clueless if I would like it or not... I am a lab. Next I discovered this amazing creature the humans were calling butterflies. I was enthralled by the big black and yellow fluttering bugs dancing around all over the beach, they entertained my curiosity for hours, ... and my hunger (mom said I shouldn't have).

Then they put this big metal thing in the water called a dock, or warf. I could get on top of the water a look down to see fish. I could stand on it to get a big drink of water. I had more area to chase butterflies!!!

That was a big day for me. I need my nap time.

During our vacation I also got to meet some other critters that mom and dad were calling dinner.

I even got to sniff their shells.



We did also take a journey into town to get dad a new toy. I was curious. The neighbor dog, Jake, rides with his daddy. I think maybe next time in July, I will try it out. I have to get one of those snazzy float jackets first.



Oh how relaxing Maine is. No wonder mom and dad were so happy all weekend!

I enjoyed my first vacation with my furever parents. Mom and dad said they could not have asked me to be any better. I was pooped and slept the whole way home yesterday, but I did hear them say we area going back up in July. Yeah.

And Abbey was "a peach" for grandma and grandpa. She even alerted them to a cat and ground hog invasion!. Good work sista!
