Living My Best Life in Largo

Living My Best Life in Largo

Once the weekend came around, I was really in heaven!  There were so many people that came over to Cousin Carole’s house just to see me that I could hardly keep track of everyone.

It actually started on Thursday already when Tim came up to the house on wheels to see me.  I love Tim.  He’s always so happy.  Tim is a really good petter too.  Later Thursday evening, Cousin Carole’s neighbor, Ed came over to see me.  I must say that he was quite a good petter too.  He brought over some fudge, which smelled amazing, but I can’t have any.  No matter how much of a sad puppy dog face I put on, mommy and daddy won’t ever let me have any fudge.

Friday was like Grand Central Station at Cousin Carole’s house.  It started right away on Friday morning when Cousin Carole’s friends Brian and Lisa arrived.  Of course, they both fell in love with me right away.  Later on in the day, more friends showed up.  Lisa made some chicken for dinner, but I didn’t get any.  They all used the, “it’s too spicy for you” line on me, but it smelled so good.

Mommy and daddy were sad to leave their friends, but they were all also excited to be headed to Cousin Carole’s house in Largo.  I was really excited to get to Cousin Carole’s house too.  I get to go into her house and she has a fenced in backyard, so I can roam around her backyard and pee and poop wherever I want to when we visit her.

We stopped at a roadside produce stand on the way to Cousin Carole’s house and mommy bought all kinds of tasty fresh fruit.  I can’t wait to help mommy and daddy eat it!  I love fruit and mommy and daddy always share their fruit with me.  The nice lady at the produce stand gave us all samples of a yummy clementine.  It was delicious!

We also stopped at Aldi and Publix so that mommy could get food so that her and daddy wouldn’t starve while we were at Cousin Carole’s house.

After Destin, we’ll make our way down to Largo and I can’t wait to get there!  I should see cousins Carole and Patty and our friends Tim and Ron.  We stayed at Ron’s house in Washington and now we’ll get to see him again in Florida, how neat is that?

After Largo, it’s back to Melbourne with Aunt Sally and Uncle Randy for a while.  I can’t wait to see them again.  I’m sure that I’ll get to see cousins Jenny, Bobby, and Andi as well as Uncle Tom in Melbourne too.  It’s going to be a lot of fun.  Me and mommy and daddy will get to walk at Wickham Park with Aunt Sally and her friends Alice and Pat.  I’ll have to get right back to work making all of the Wickham Park people smile again.

So, everyday mommy and daddy are helping with something and I’m out there making sure that everyone is smiling.  I’m doing a really good job at that too.  All of these guys love me so much and I love them too.  There’s this one guy, his name is Bob.  He’s really tall, even taller than daddy is.  He really loves me.  He put me on a video that he was sending to his daughter for Christmas.  Now I was even cheering people up who lived miles and miles away!  He once said to daddy, “Your dog does so much more for us then we could ever do for him.”  When he said, “your dog” to daddy, he was talking about me.

Galveston, I Love Your Beach

Galveston, I Love Your Beach

Once we got down onto the beach, I didn’t waste any time getting into that water!  I was pulling daddy down to the water with me.  When that first wave crashed into me, I felt like I was in heaven.  That’s one of the best feelings in the world when that wave comes crashing in.  I was so happy in the water.  I was splashing around and smiling from ear to ear.  Then one time, I was watching daddy and turned sideways and a wave came in and knocked me over.  Daddy asked me if I was ok.  I was ok, but just a little embarrassed.  I learned my lesson though, never turn sideways when a wave is coming in.  You have to face those things head on.
