Friday With the Cousins

Mom and Dad have cousins in Rhode Island and yesterday we spent the whole day with them. We left at 9AM and didn't get home till 8:30PM. It was a blast! We went down in dad's pick-up truck, which is so much more comfy than mom's car for trips - at least I think so! The backseat of the truck is fixed up pretty fancy for me. Dad put a piece of plywood over the backseat so that I have a whole playpen to spread out in back there. Then they put carpeting over the plywood so it's nice and soft for me. Yesterday mom put one of my beds back there too so it would be even nicer and more cushy. Rhode Island is an hour and a half ride for us - one way - and mom wants me to be happy. I was! She filled the water cooler and she packed my dinner. I didn't need any toys because I always steal Jenna's raw hides! Mom doesn't give me these at home so it's a special treat to be able to swindle one of Jenna's!!

This is Jenna. She's a Vizsla and she's the Princess at her house. She's allowed on the sofa and yesterday mom and Aunt Karen were sitting on the sofa talking and obviously mom was in Jenna's spot! Jenna jumped right up on the sofa behind mom and pushed her off! hehehehe

This is the two of us getting love pats from cousin Thomas!

Jenna and I have a strange relationship. Because she's a princess and I'm a princess we interact pretty much from across the room. Sometimes we have to share the same room - like the dining room when lunch was being served, and we choose our spots to beg at opposite ends of the table!

This seems to work out best for us!

After the hoomans had their lunch I went on a search to find one of Jenna's tasty rawhides and fortunately for me I found one laying around! I did manage to eat the whole thing pretty quickly! yummy!

This is Jenna sitting on Aunt Karen's lap. I think Jenna likes people better than she likes me. That's okay - I really don't mind. I just like the fact that I can spend the whole day with mom and dad in another state and have a change-of-pace adventure and I love my cousins! They're all so nice to me!

Around 5PM the cousins all agreed to go out to a favorite restaurant of theirs to have fish-n-chips and clam cakes. Mom says these clam cakes are to-die-for! I wouldn't know because I was left in the truck to wait for them. I did have some entertainment while I was waiting. A pretty black and white kitty was hanging out in the parking lot, possibly waiting for a free fish hand-out! Mom and dad did bring me a dinner roll for our trip home for being such a good girl and waiting for them. Thanks!

Yesterday was a really fun day! Thanks again Auntie Karen and Uncle Michael for showing us such a great time!

Until next time....................

Love ya lots,
