I think we are going on a vacation

I keep hearing Mom and Dad talking about something called packing!! Now I have no clue what that is but they are putting their clothes in a funny looking kennel.  I heard Mom call it a suitcase so I guess the clothes don't go in a kennel like I do..it doesn't look near as much fun as my kennel is.  They've added clothes to it and now it and a bunch of other things are sitting on the floor..I don't know why they are doing this..it's only Sunday Oct 13th so I guess we must not be going anywhere for a few days as my kennel, toys and bed are still in their normal place. 

Let me jump ahead now to Wednesday the 15th.  The alarm went off bright and early so today must be the day.  I think it is really early about 4:30 AM!! But I'm up cause I'm always up when the alarm goes off.  Have gone potty and have eaten my breakfast...OH.. OH.. OH. here comes my kennel on the table..Mom is putting some toys in the bed...OH WE MUST BE LEAVING!!!! Mom hurry put my kennel on the floor I want in NOW!!! PLEASE!!!! Okay Dad is going out the door with Mom's coffee cups and a bunch of other stuff.  AND NOW ME!! Here is my kennel ready for me to get in it..

WE are headed out the door to a place called Branson, MO.  I was told to go to sleep as it is a long drive..but I'm so excited I keep telling Mom I want out...please just let me out...now...please...out...out..out...Mom and Dad laugh and said that is what it sounds like I'm saying..well of course it is I want out of my kennel..gotta give them a kiss for not leaving me home. 

We stop a couple of times to go potty..and Mom and Dad eat lunch..and guess what Mom brings me out a little bit of meat and more important some ICE CREAM!!!!! All is well!! Time for a nap again..

We are finally there!!! I love our room it has wood floors like at home..so I don't smell all the other animals that have been here!! That is a good thing..I'm going to put a few pictures up of what I got to see at the motel we are staying at..

Mom said those are chickens on the fence!  The little one on the fence makes a funny noise..she said he's a rooster.

AND a Pot belly pig!! REALLY IN TOWN!!

WE did some fun things while we were in Branson..I got to go into two stores with Mom and Dad.  One really wants people to bring their pets into the store.  Mom and Dad got me a new harness that is so much better then the old ones..I can walk in it so much better and is so much easier to get on and off..and the best thing Dad didn't have to adjust it to fit me!!  There is a big empty lot behind a church that Mom takes me to and let's me play.  I really like that except one time I started to run down this hill toward a street.  Mom came running after me..I didn't know she could do that..she told me HERBIE STOP so I did and looked back at her as if I was saying well come on hurry up this is fun let's do it again!! BUT instead she picked me up and put the leash back on me..

All good things have to come to an end..and we head home after 5 days..I was worried about Dad when he got out of the car it's dark outside and you never know what might happen but he was putting gas in the car so I got up on the dash and laid down so I could make sure nothing happened to him.

 I realized in my posts there are pictures of everyone but my Mom so we decided to take a "selfie" I wasn't going to make it an easy job for her..she didn't have her camera but her phone instead.I'd give her a kiss and turn my face real quick..She has got to remember to shut her mouth when taking a selfie..but since this is the first one guess I can forgive her..and the fact it's blurry..

The trip home is long but going to be so worth it as I get to see my brother. We left at 5:45AM and got home at 3;30 PM..I was so happy to see my brother..Mom put me in the back yard to go potty..brother could hear me barking and he was meowing so Mom finally let me go inside. I ran to find him on the porch..we hugged and licked each other..5 days is a long time.
