I stayed in a hotel!

I actually stayed in hotel for the very first time! I'm surprised how much fun it really was - we had our own room, with a nice cool tile floor. We had an exit right near our door so we could go outside quick if we needed to. It was on the second floor and I got to ride this really, really old elevator with really weird doors.

Anyway, to start at the beginning, my Peggy Mom took me to a Florida Bar meeting all the way up in Tallahassee. We had to drive in the car for a really long time. We stopped a couple of times and I got to walk around at these places called rest stops. I didn't see anybody resting though - they were all walking around.

I even got a tour of the Florida Bar headquarters. I got to go in the fancy board rooms and anything. My Peggy Mom was hoping I would have an accident and I didn't - she was really happy.

I scared my Peggy Mom good too! She was looking for something in the car and she was standing on my leash. Well when I saw she lifted her foot for a minute, I slipped away and started showing myself around the parking lot. When she realized what I'd done she looked real scared until she saw me. Then she came over, real calm like, and grabbed my leash. I guess she's really glad I was just sniffing at some grass and didn't run away? Now why would I run away - I'm a good dog.

Then we went to Wakulla Springs State Park and stayed at their old beautiful lodge. They have the most beautiful springs there I have ever seen! Not like I've seen a lot, but everyone kept saying how beautiful it was. Really nice water but I didn't even get to go swimming - something about alligators - not sure what that is. I got to meet lots and lots of people because for some reason I was the only dog in the whole park!

I went to a party, then I went to dinner, then I got on a big beautiful bus and went to another party. By the time I got back, it was time to go to bed. I'll tell you a secret - my Peggy Mom didn't even make me go in my crate. She let me sleep right next to her on the bed! I was so happy I didn't even move one time all night. I'm pretty sure she isn't going to let me do that again, but it was really nice.

The next day, I went to breakfast, then another meeting, then another long car ride. On the way home, I got to meet my Grandma Dot. Peggy Mom said we couldn't stay very long because we had to get home. Still it was nice to stop and stretch my legs, eat some lunch and play for a minute. My Grandma Dot has a cat but it wasn't very interesting.

Finally we were happy to be home. I got to play with Tobie for a while. Even Leiden acts like she likes me more a little bit every day. She'll even chase me in the house sometimes.
