I just looked at the calendar. I didn’t do a single post last week. One day just blended into another. Mom says that it takes a week before all of us realize that the trip was tiring. Of course she also says she read that cats can sleep 18 hours of the 24 each day! That sounds about right. She added that old dogs can … Continue reading Part 24 – I’ve Been Lazy

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. It wasn’t either too hot nor too cold (although I know that cold is coming soon.) Mom was in and out working on things, so she put Sophia and me on our outside leads. We both like that. I know Mom likes it as well because we are both safe. I got tired of exploring the area of the … Continue reading Part 23 – Mom’s Mad

I think Mom and Dad have made a serious mistake. They decided that since Fred, the dog did such a great job of raising Sophia and me, that he can do the same with a puppy. Personally I think he used all of his best talents in raising me, but fell down on the job with Sophia. He has gotten so much older now, I … Continue reading Part 22 – Mistakes

We are back home. Sophia and I had to wait for Mom to cut the weeds in our back yard play area before we could go out. Mom said that at a foot tall, they were just too much to wade through to get to our outside leads. I liked going out first thing every morning and last thing every evening while we traveled. It … Continue reading Part 21 – We Are Home

Mom’s internet connection has been okay, but we just haven’t had the time to let me post. We have continued to stay at interesting places. Last night we were in a big parking lot by a restaurant where Mom and Dad ate dinner. They were joined by Mom’s friend Kevin. I remember him from when he lived in Texas. Sophia has really enjoyed this stop. … Continue reading Part 20 Heading home

We are still on this trip. Mom said that the WIFI is unpredictable and that in some places she doesn’t even have a cell signal. I’m not sure what all of that means, but she says we can’t post parts of my life story when I think we should. Oh well, we can today. My sister is silly. This campground has lots of squirrels and … Continue reading Part 19 Silly Sister

When we have travel days, we have a routine. Sophie and I wake Mom up. Sophia says we want breakfast, but it is really so we can go outside for a little bit. She really likes that dirt. Mom puts us on our outside leads. She puts Fred on his lead. Then she unlocks the door to let’s us out. Mom and Fred go for … Continue reading Part 18 On The Road

Mom announces that we are going to buy a new Van. She and Dad talk a lot about how disappointed they had been when they canceled the trip to Alaska after they had to replace the almost new front tires on our old van. A lot of the time we spent in Seattle was in repair shops. Mom said the van was harder to drive … Continue reading Part 17  – A New Van

In Savanna,IL at the waterfront park where Mom made me sit on this dog statue for this picture. Continue reading Part 16 – Mom Made Me Do It!

Mom has been going back and forth to the van for the last three days. This morning she announced what I suspected – we are going on a trip! The refrigerator is filled, and the stuff is piled in the back. She said she has a book signing event in Mt Carroll, Illinois again with three other authors. Of course, we won’t get to join … Continue reading Part 15 A New Trip
