Sliding is Fun!

Last fall we took The Roo to the park in the neighborhood to play. He was a bit hesitant and not really sure if he wanted to venture down the big slides. This past weekend we took The Roo to the berry farm and to the park in the neighborhood. Both have slides. The Roo, who is bounding with energy loved climbing up the slides, walking down the slides and going down the slides both on his bottom and of course head first. Here are a few pictures of the sliding Roo.

Love and Fries

We stayed in the house most of the day today because of the oppressive heat outside. The Roo, who normally gets really upset if you don't take him outside didn't seem to mind. So tonight after an early dinner we all got in the car and went for a little ride. We went down a few roads we had never been down and somehow wound up in Colonial Beach. That's ok, we stopped at McDonalds and got a little after dinner treat to enjoy on a hot day and we got The Roo some fries. He loved it....first he'd eat one, and then he'd give one to Baxter....repeat until he was done. Baxter loved that The Roo was sharing and The Roo couldn't have been happier to have Baxter in the car with him. Maybe this was the missing trick on the 12 hour long trip to Maine?!

Baxter and The Roo Reunite!

We got home from vacation on Friday and relaxed that evening. The house seemed really empty without Baxter and The Roo was looking for him. Mommy went to get Baxter from the nice doggie retreat on Saturday and then took him for a nice cleaning before we headed home. Baxter and The Roo were very excited to see each other after such a long time away. But Baxter was so tired from his vacation, he couldn't keep up with The Roo on Saturday. But don't worry, Baxter got a good night of sleep and was back licking in full force on Sunday. They're happy to be back together again.

Vacation was Fun!

Though Maine is a really long way and The Roo doesn't enjoy long car rides, he still had a really fun time. Baxter had to stay behind for this trip and enjoyed his stay at the lovely doggie retreat we sent him to.

At the beginning of the week we spent some time with Daddy's family and friends that he grew up with. He got a great big kiss from his new buddy. Too bad both mommy and daddy were too slow getting the picture of them kissing each other at the same time. Are wedding bells in their future?

We left Newport on Sunday and went to Boothbay Harbor and met up with Grandma and Grandpa G for the rest of the week. The weather was beautiful and we all enjoyed relaxing and spending time outside.

We made it home from Maine without stopping overnight; The Roo was so excited to get out of the car that he ran around the house as fast as he could for about an hour before he went to sleep.

We all enjoyed vacation and were glad to enjoy one last week of nice cool weather.
