Greetings from OBX!

Hello all,

We've been having a great time at the beach. It's always nice to get away.

I've given up on the beach. It's awfully sandy and Mama makes me take a bath afterwards...yuck!

I think I'll stick to playing on the deck with my bone.

In the all the excitement of vacation there's something I'm missing, but I just can't put my paw on it.

Oh yeah...it's home.

Still Waiting…

I’m still waiting for you Grandma.
I’m losing my mind here, even the puppy thinks he’s a fish now!

My bag is packed Grandma; I’m ready whenever you are. Grimace assured me you'd be coming for us.

Ooohhh dear... hopefully she’s close.

Beach Bum

I don’t know why Meathead dislikes the beach so much?
























I'm having a great time, wheeeeeeeee!!













Mama, let’s go again!

Bulldogs Swim Like Bricks

Why oh why do we have to go on vacation again? Isn’t once in my lifetime enough?

I miss my bed, I miss my house, and I miss my Grandma. Grandma where are you? Come take me home!

Papa and MoMo call this a vacation, I call this puppy purgatory! When I think of the beach, I think of potentially drowning in the pool (everyone knows I don't swim), heat exhaustion, burrs in my feet, stomach aches and vomiting - why would you have a large body of water and not be able to drink it!

They say cats have 9 lives; maybe I should start purring. Grandma saaaave me!

"Don't worry Meathead. I’m positive Grandma will be waiting for us at the beach house. Grandma, here we come!"

OBX, Here We Come!

Hi all it’s Grimace here,

Well it’s that time of year again; when we make the long trek to the Outer banks, NC with Papa, MoMo and Aunt Kris. One difference this year is the addition of Milo, this is his first trip.

“Yep, my very first trip! I'm kind of nervous and excited...”

“Hey, use your own post to speak...jeez!”

Anyways, if the car wasn’t crammed before, it’s a sardine can now! I mean… I’m a dog, not a fish!

I personally love vacation. I get to spend the whole week with Papa and MoMo, ALL DAY! No crate for me, no sir. I’m not sure why I need that stupid thing anyways.

Some dogs, such as Meathead, don’t like vacation. He’s such a bore sometimes. New smells, extra cookies, being with “my people” all day – who wouldn’t love that!

Sometimes Papa does leave me to go fishing, but I have my Aunt Kris around to keep me company. Here’s a picture of us on the way to the beach!

The only thing missing on vacation is Grandma :(. I don’t know why she isn’t here, it’s not like her to leave me alone. I bet she’ll be at the beach house when we get there!

Too many things to remember

Exhausting! Just so much to learn before I am all grow'd up! I think I will take a nap first before I blog a response.

Training the Puppy - Lesson #3 Know Your Place In the Pack

Since Meaty has been feeling under the weather this week, I will go over lesson #3 with you: Know your place in the pack.

I am sure your dog-mom, Mia, taught you what a pack was. You are part of our pack now and we need to make sure you know your place.

Grandma says Meaty is the "king". He likes that title alot. I think it has kind of gone to his head a bit. Oh well, he is first, #1, the leader (but only because I wasn't here at the start. I have great leadership qualities, you know.)

Grandma says that I am "prince". Auntie sometimes calls me the "jester". I like "prince" better. And I am #2. I think I am really more like #1.5!! And if only I had started in the pack to begin with rather than wasting 3 years somewhere else, I know things would be different, but no matter. Meaty is our lead-guy. And I am a close 1.5!

You probably haven't learned to count yet, but that makes you #3 (#1, #1.5, #3 - yes, that sounds right!). We haven't decided on a descriptive title for you yet. I hear grandma calling you "squirt" now and then. I bet this is because sometimes you squirt on her rug! Let's just make one thing clear ... I am the king of squirting on rugs and walls and cars and children who are sitting still outside ... so find another skill, cause I am king of that one!

Yours Truly,

Grimace

King of Squirting
