Well I'm fully recovered from my spay surgery, just in case you wanted to know. It was hardly a bump in the road. The day after my surgery my Momma Ellen and Daddy Rich let me relax all day. They took really good care of me and made sure I didn't run around too much.
I also have a whole new set of big girl teeth. All those little baby teeth finally fell out and I have one beauuuuuutiful smile! The better to bite you with - LOL! Not really, I don't bite, I just like to chew on things, including your arm.
Well my Peggy Mom has been dragging me to every kind of conference she can think of. Week before last I suffered (I mean went) to a two day program on business succession planning. Not sure what I was supposed to learn from that, but I went anyway. I didn't get to stay in any hotels, though. We drove back and forth every day!
Then last week we loaded up the car and went to St. Petersburg for the Stetson University Special Needs Conference at the fancy Don Cesar. Lucky for me, they are very dog friendly, even though we actually stayed at a different hotel. The door men were very glad to see me and gave me a treat every time we walked by. Everyone else was really nice too - I think I made a pretty big impact because everyone seemed to know who I was. Not sure if that had anything to do with the fact that a couple of times I got a little excited and barked in the middle of the program. Mostly, I was really good, sleeping under the table and trying not to be too noticeable. I made a couple of good friends at the vendor booths - even got to have a good cuddle on the floor!
Staying in the hotel was fun too. My good friend Sarah let me snuggle with her. She also took me for a walk on the beach - very weird. It was dark, sandy and lots of noise from the waves. I really didn't want to stay too long. I made her hurry up and take me back to the room.
Well if you don't think that was enough, on Saturday we got up early again and went to the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk. I thought we were going home, but then we went to the SPCA Wiggle Waggle Walk. There were like a million dogs there - some of them even dressed up in funny clothes. I just had my vest on - that's funny enough for me. So by lunch time, I'm getting a little tired and thinking it's about time to go home, have some lunch and take a long nap. Well, Peggy Mom loads me into the car again and takes me to the Veg Fest! Now, what is a dog supposed to eat at a vegan festival? Lucky for me, my Peggy Mom had stuffed her pocket full of treats from the Wiggle Waggle. I got to meet a whole bunch of new people, especially one boy, named TJ. I just loved him. He played with me for a really long time. I don't know where his parents were but we had a blast! He gave me a huge stick and helped me find a ball that Peggy Mom said I could bring home.
We finally got home about 7 p.m. I was definitely ready for dinner and bed time!
What a great time I'm having learning all kinds of things. My Momma Ellen and Daddy Rich have been out of town for two long weeks. They just got back so I'm headed over to their house tonight. I bet they really missed me - I know I missed them.
Wonder what we are doing next weekend? I'll keep you posted. Chow!
