We're gonna be hula dogs!!!!

Cindy sat down with me n' Barney...and I could tell a big pack meeting was in order, she looked really serious and all.

She said we were gonna move the pack and pack to move (this got Barney really confused), and that we'd be living in a place called Hawaii.

I was like "bow-wow-wow..." cuz I have moved with Cindy before.
I thought it was great fun, but then I think almost everything is fun. We had great car rides, I got to see snow for the first time and got to play in it while the car was stopped by the roadside...Cindy said that was something called a blizzard and "road closure." That was great fun...even if I was the only one having fun. And I LOVE car rides.

But Cindy said not much of a car ride this time, I was gonna go on an airplane. Zippity do dah! Never did that before. I'm psyched. Any doggies out there done that? Will they let me sit in the co pilots seat?

If'n there's any doggies out there on dogster who live in Hawaii, I'd love to hear more about it. What's a beach, by the way?

This is so exciting!!!

Cindy showed me pictures of hula dancers on the computer...dancing with flowers in their hair, along the ocean...oh that looks soooooo wonderful. So that's a beach! Wow, that looks almost as much fun as a snowbank. I can not wait to try a doggie hula myself, I love dog dancing and especially when a person dances with me. And I LOVE flowers...I want one of those lei thingies as a collar.

Oh this is just gonna be so much fun. I wish Barney would stop being such a grump about it.

Another Easter without catching the Easter Bunny!

I'm beginning to think this is all human hearsay or something...I mean, I was up at the crack of dawn watching the back yard, and no bunny. But then, later, there's all these plastic eggs with goodies in them...how does this happen?

I tell ya, one of these years I'm gonna get that bunny. Maybe I'll put in a surveillance camera .....

At the Vet

Today was kinda fun, but kinda sad....we went to see MY vet, Dr. Hare...Cindy's doing this to help me n' Barney to be ready to move, I have seen this before...extra vet visits...funny stuff like the medicine they put on my neck. It is sooooooooooo funny when they have to find skin under my Keesie coat. Took two techs and Dr. Hare today but they did it.

And a nice long exam that gave me plenty of time to give Dr. Hare kisses. I know she knows I love her...

But Cindy was so sad when we walked out...I think all this moving stuff is making her really tired, wish I could cheer her up.

Packing

Wow, I thought Cindy would NEVER get my beauty supplies packed, but finally this morning I saw her pack one suitcase just for me, of course, with all the essentials. Brushes, combs, scissors...hmmm...where's the full length mirror? Cindy...hey Cindy I think you forgot something...

Oh boy oh boy Hawaii sounds nice!!

Hey, look what I found on a veterinary page on the web (don't tell Cindy I was on the computer, she thinks I can't do this stuff..shhhh)

Another noteworthy vector in Hawaii is the flea and its ability to transmit the plague. Fortunately Hawaii does not have ticks and fleas that carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.


Yay oh yay oh yay!!!!

This is an outrage!!! Someone send me a hacksaw!!!

Egad...I have landed in the most pawstrating situation...State of Hawaii Dept of Agriculture official doggie quarantine!!! Noooooooooooo

Gee, Hawaii sounded so great...and yeah, cindy did mention this was gonna happen but I think I was more interested in the beach and learning the doggie hula, you know...

Sigh. The room is really nice and clean, the staff is friendly and kind, I have a good fresh supply of water and Cindy made sure they had my own food for me. Barney is right next to me. We see Cindy every day...but that awful moment when she walks out without me is just terrible. Yesterday I could NOT stand it anymore and slipped past her and ran all over the place barking and prancing...til I realized she was still standing back at the kennel looking all sad...so of course I went back to her.

I can not wait to get out of here.

Can I get a good interior decorator?

This place is just so blah. Concrete and steel fencing...gray, gray,gray.

I need color I tell you. I gotta send Cindy after some decorations.

I get out of my pen at least once a week now on what Cindy calls "grooming day." It is so wonderful to feel real grass and dirt under my paws, and I even get to dig a little. And then while I'm up on the grooming table I am at the perfect height to give Cindy kisses.

I wish every day was grooming day.

Jailbreak!!!

Yesterday, when Cindy came to jail for visiting hours, she was moving Barney from my kennel back to his own - we get family time now, we can all be in one kennel - I managed to dash out and get a fast lap in. Cindy didn't chase me or get excited...she just stood and called me and of course I came back...no one from the quarantine station even saw me, I was so fast....

Just needed to stretch my legs a little and feel the wind through my fur.

We are 1/4 of the way done with our jail sentence. Still hoping for a hacksaw in the mail from Miss Eve.

Pondering a hair cut

Wow...it's sure been hot and muggy. Had a good rain this afternoon but even that didn't really cool stuff down. Cindy's shaved my legs and my belly to help keep me cool, but she's been talking about shaving my whole coat. Wow that would be one big job...and I can't imagine how odd I'd look. Maybe just being here in quarantine it won't matter much. I really wish I had a pool to splash in, that is like my favorite thing to do.
