The Best Pup-Sitter We Can Imagine

Well

We said that a DifferentSort of Adventure was coming up

Good thing we didn't say When or How Soon
'Cause, predictably, it's taken a while for OurMoma to help us tell you about It

and

Those of you who visit our FacebookPage
(Or, rather, OurMoma's FB page ... she shares it with us)
You'll already know all about this Story

anyhow

Since OurMoma has promised to get better about helping us blog
(and remember all our FunAdventures)
We're gonna go ahead and retell it here

(It's worth it ... it was GreatFun)

So

Here's the Story

We knew Something was up
(We're heard OurMoma talking and talking on the phone and checking and rechecking her calendar)

 We waited
Patiently
(as usual)


Finally
The Day arrived and we were ready!

Our LongTimeFriend, Missy, came to Colorado

We had met Missy and Stevie and their NowAngelJustin in MerryLand
Back during our BigCrossCountryAdventure in July 2010
(You can see MorePictures from that GreatTime Here)

On the way home from the DenverInternationalAirport
Where we picked Missy up
We swung by and showed her one of her MostWantedPlaces to Visit
RedRocksAmphitheater

We've walked the steps before ... all the way to the Bottom and the Top again

but

ThisDay we just looked down from the Top
And watched all the People and TheirPups exercising

It didn't take long for us to remember Miss Missy
and
To start enjoying her Scritchies and Lovin'

She was a PushOver when it came time for BeggingForBreakfast

(What else are TwoHungryDogs to do?)

Life took on a PrettyFastPace for a couple of days

Our friend Miss Shawn (Winston and Chloe and Cecil's moma) came over
and we all enjoyed Time (and Food and Sunggles) on the Deck


(and more Scritchies and more Lovin' ... of course)

Life was ReallyReallyGood

Then
OurMoma left
(OurGirl had left before Miss Missy arrived)

We spent a LittleBit (but not TooMuch) Time watching out the door for her

but
Soon we understood

OurMoma had gone to spend time with HerMoma (OurGramma) and HerSister (OurAuntie)
in Florida
and
This time she took an airplane and we didn't ride with her 
In the car on a LongLong(Hot)Roadtrip

We knew she was at the Beach
and
We remembered we're gonna get to go back there ThisWinter
(Or maybe sooner, if Gramma makes a BigMove)
(It's AwfulHot there during the summer for TwoLittleFurballs)

Thinking we might forget her (as if)
OurMoma sent us an OccasionalPicture
Enjoying a drinkie with OurAuntie (That's OurMoma)

Admiring the MostBeautiful and ElegantZoë
(AuntieJudith's pup)

Feeding ice cream to Gramma's Bella
(We will NOT forget that she owes us one!)

and

Visiting a MostAmazingBlueberryFarm

Where she and AuntieJudith picked tons of Blueberries
(Promising to bring some back for us)

Meanwhile

Back at the Ranch in Colorado

We made ourselves MoreThanComfortable with Missy

She fed us well
(Gotta remember to share some Recipes with OurMoma)

We helped her unpack Pressies that got delivered to OurFrontDoor

and

We celebrated Jake's 7th Birthday!
(Missy brought Pressies and a FoxieCard with a MostWonderfulMessage!)

It seemed like the Time flew by
and
Before we knew it

OurMoma was HOME!
(You know what that meant!)


She kept her word and brought us Blueberries
(Even though they were bit delayed
Since her luggage went to Dallas and Minneapolis before it finally arrived back in Colorado)

and

YUMMMM they were good!

Once OurMoma got back (and OurGirl was having fun at her MostExcitingSummerJob)
We all took Missy on a Trip up Mt Evans
(One of Colorado's 14ers, a mountain with an elevation over 14,000 feet ... with a road to the top)

Here we are close to Timberline
(Missy is holding on tight and gripping her toes!)

We got a VerySpecialTreat near the Top


Mountain Goats!

(They say there is a StrikingResemblance between Me and ThatDude)

Do you agree?

Anyhow
ThoseGoats put on Quite a Show for ThePeople
(UsDogs stayed in the car ... it was way too cold and windy for OurPreferences)
Watch and See!


TooSoon it came Time to tell MissMissy Goodbye

The time came that she needed to go back to MerryLand

but

Not before leaving some SpecialTreats to remind us of her Everyday
A Collection of HeartRocks that she gathered while she was in Colorado

Braided Tug (or, in Fergi's case ... Cuddle) Toys made of strips of her VeryOwnSweatshirts

and Some LovelySmellingCandles of her MostFavoriteFragrance
(One that will remind us all of her when we burn them in OurHome)

Having Missy here to take care of us while OurMoma and OurGirl were gone
Was WONDERFUL

We're 'specially happy, 'cause it seems MissMissy enjoyed it, as well

and

Maybe

Just

Maybe

There's gonna be MoreOpportunities in the Future

Life with Benefits

You know What?

It's nice living with OurMoma and OurGirl who both like RoadTrips

and

There are some real Benefits to being GreatTravelers

We get the MostComfy (and the most spacious) Place in the car

and

We get to sleep on the MostAmazingGiantBeds
With even MoreAmazingFluffyPillows

Life is SoGood

and

We love sharing it with OurPeople
 (We'll happily travel with them anywhere, for however long it takes)

One of the BestParts is we get to keep meeting Dogs and Families 
All along TheWay

Over the PastFewMonths
We've made some ReallyGoodFriendships even Better and MoreSpecial

Some have been Doggies we've met through Bloggies
(Like our CrossCountryTrip during the Summer of 2010)

and

Some have been Doggies that we've met through that other SocialNetwork
(Facebook)
Like .... Lola (with Jake)
(Aren't we just styling' on that ZebraBlankie?)


and ... Fergi (with Lola's mom, Miss Nhi)

and ... Lola and Me with Lola's (adorable) HumanSissies


Sometimes
We don't even have to travel ThatFar

Some of our NewFriends are just AcrossTown

 Like ... Oliver


and

(Their sister Ashley stayed Home.  You know how girls can be)

We met them one SlushyWinterDay after OurLastTrip to Gramma'sHouse in Florida
What a FunDay we had walking along the path, tromping through all the MudPuddles

Then
This Spring we got to reunite
(Who just so happened to come from OurRescueAngel, PJ)



His mom tried hard as she may to get us to all look at the camera at the same time
(What a RidiculousIdea!)


We met up with them at OurMostFavorite Garden and Nursery Shop
... Echter's ...


It's a "DogFriendly" (the ONLY place to go) GardenCenter
Where we got to get UpClose and Personal with Lots of Pretty and Interesting Things

(Truth be told ... those LittleMonsters sorta scare me)

There were good Sights to See

and Great Grass to Eat
(MyMoma was saying "No, Jake!" when she caught me in the Act)

Best of all ... there was PersonalTransport ... 
A QuitePleasantWay to Shop
(Fergi loves it)

We really consider ourselves QuiteLucky

Even when OurMoma isn't taking the Time to help us Blog
She's making sure we're enjoying Life
(All of Us)

It gives us Lots of GoodMemories and ReallyGoodStuff to Dream about


'Til OurNextAdventure

and

From what we hear

A NewAdventure (of a VeryDifferentSort) is just around the Corner
(Stay Tuned.  OurMoma is on a Roll!)
