ITS NATIONAL DOG DAY TODAY

Guinness here today…

I haven’t pawsted in a while and it’s NATIONAL DOG DAY, so I’m going to tell you about my trip so far along with a few selfies. 

When we’re travelling, I sleep right by Rod’s feet.  I even have a special blue mat – all mine. If it’s bumpy, I try to stand up and then Lynn says “ it’s okay Guinness” so I go back to sleep.   At night, I sleep in the shower. If I stay there until it’s almost light, I get to crawl in bed with Rod and Lynn and cuddle for a while. 

I look worried!

But my favorite thing about boating is going for rides in the dinghy. When Rod starts to take it down, I bark until he lets me climb in. Then when I want to get back in the boat, I stand on the back so they see me. 

Aren’t I cute?

I love getting wet!   I heard Rod say there’s going to be a “wetting” here at the marina today. I hope we get to go. When I get back in the boat all wet, Rod rubs me real good with a green towel – it feels so good!

I’ve trained Lynn really well. She makes my breakfast every day and at about 4:30 every afternoon, my tummy says it’s time to eat again, so I let her know by making chompy noises. If I eat all my food, I get a treat afterwards and if I’m thirsty, I just have to lift my paw and hit the white box with the ice in it and get a long, cold drink of water. 

And I love it when we go to dinner and I get leftovers. But yesterday, the waitress played a trick on Rod when he was trying to be funny and asked for some little scraps to take back. She gave him an empty box – I was so disappointed. 

Yesterday was a fun day. We visited a very cute little house that belongs to Merry and Brian, Rod’s niece. It’s way up in the mountains with lots of room to run around outside. I think they said it was 55 akers.  I’m so jealous of their dog Fermi because he gets to play outside almost all the time. 

Looks pretty big to me.

This is where Fermi gets to play. There are mountains too but it was foggy.

Today we left Lake Champlain. It’s so pretty – I will miss it!

This has been a fun trip. I’m excited because in a few days, we are going to meet Hank the big lab who we had Christmas dinner with in Key West. I hope Tom will be there too. I’ll be sure to take a few more selfies with them.
