The Life of Riley [Dog]

Thursday, October 25, 2007

Ok, I’ve seen a suitcase in my day. I’ve even seen a big suitcase in my day. I have NEVER seen the flurry of suitcases like a saw a couple of weeks ago. There was even a nice suitcase for me. OK, not really a suitcase, it was just a plain old box, but it was filled with my dog food.

First off, on a Friday, my dad went to the place called Germany. That’s OK. I still had the girls home. And then on Tuesday, me and the girls left the house. All of us with our suitcases. Then we dropped sis off at school. Now, it is just mom and me. Perfect. We are going on a road trip. Just me and my mom.

Mom drops me off at the dog park hotel. I stayed there for a day before. Bye mom – I gotta go and check it out.

Well, it was OK. Just OK. I didn’t really like the accommodations my mom picked out for me. That was the Petite Suite. NOPE. I’m not a petite dog. I just jumped the fence. Kind of my special way to ask for an upgrade. Yep. They put me in the standard sized suite. Heh, a dog has got to be able to stretch out after a long day of playing.

About a week later, my sis and dad picked me up. I ignored them just fine. Afterall, I don’t get to play with dozens of dogs in a day at my house. I did snuggle up to sis on the way home. She needed a soft pillow. Something about being up for almost 24 hours. I thought those silly teens liked to go on no sleep.

When I got home, I tried ignoring my mom too. That was harder to do because she fixed me some dinner.

By the next morning, I pretty much forgot about ignoring them, especially after my favorite dad got out my favorite leash. Then mom took sis somewhere, and left her there. Mom was really tired, so I made sure she slept. I took a little snooze too.
