SMITTY'S VACATION BLOG
Here's the scoop on my 'vacation home'. The service was pretty good - lots of big fluffy beds, and liver treats. But I don't like change, so I was quite nervous they won't be able to care for my needs.
My first morning I decided that vacation is no vacation without Mom and I should go get her. I managed to get into the neighbours yard through a tiny space under the fence behind a bush, but sadly she wasn't there. Laura, 'the vacation home lady' came and got me.
That first day Laura said I had a new collar for me to wear. She put it on which worried me a bit, so I decided to get all anti-social in my crate. But the collar smelled nice - like flowers, and like the mum I had when I was a tiny puppy. I decided the 'vacation home lady' wasn't so bad, and maybe she wanted company. So I came out of my crate and laid on the bed on the couch beside her. Later she suggested I come up onto the couch with her. Not sure about that - it's not allowed at home, but i agreed - it is vacation after all. It's a comfy couch.
I got to spend some time in my crate (nothing is better than a crate) until Laura would force me out to join in the vacation activities. Don't get me wrong I quite enjoyed the liver treats, chicken treats, comfy bed, and endless ear scratches and pets - I was just feeling a bit antisocial. Laura also often insisted we go for a walk. She really doesn't get the concept of anti-social, does she? So we went out….that is one big scary world out there….although some of it smells pretty good. I admit, these walks were kinda fun.
I gotta say the food at this 'vacation home' was great! Breakfast was mostly beef liver treats, chew sticks, and pig ears, lunch was my regular dog food with canned food - YUMMY!! And I even got a bit of something called 'people food'.
Overall not a bad vacation - lots of cuddles. But there is no place like home. I hope I find my forever home soon!
