RV Adventure-Day 7

Sometimes I think my masters are just a little strange. We waited again for the RV to be repaired and I officially declared today another DDD (dumb dog day). Finally, round 6:30 pm, my Mr. Master comes roaring up in the RV to our friend's house. We quickly pack up and I hear we might go to the Dungeness Recreation Area again and camp in the woods. Boy! Am I excited to hear this!

It's dark now, we find it, but it's CLOSED! Really? My masters jump on their ipad and find a park back in Sequim because now there is talk of getting a new tire in the morning. Tonight I have to settle for a short pathetic walk.

Tomorrow we are REALLY going to start our trip as we journey into the Olympic Peninsula. I can't wait!

RV Adventure-Day 5 and 6

Day 5 is what I call a DDD-dumb dog day. We waited all day for the RV to be fixed. It's the 4th day to be in the shop. My Mr. Master finally gets the call, drives about 20 minutes away and the RV completely quits running. Good Sam's Club comes to the rescue! I bet they're thrilled that we bought that insurance 2 months ago and we already got to use it! However, the garage is closed for the weekend and so we wait.

On Day 6, my masters go to a church in Sequim and I hear them say how much they liked the message. My Mrs. Master goes on about how the pastor sounded just like Matthew McConaughey and she really liked that. Ummm...seems a little shallow.

However, I totally forgive her when she suggests that we go walking at the Dungeness Spit. Do I dare hope for an outdoor adventure?



This is no time for a nap! I have trails to sniff and bushes to pee on!

Finally, I am released and enjoy freedom in the beautiful Dungeness Spit!

 

I am exploring and I declare this a GOOD DOG DAY!!

RV Adventure-Days 3 and 4

Nothing really exciting to report for Day 3. The RV is still in the shop and my masters are getting impatient to start this trip which has been delayed by major repairs on the RV. However, the hope is that it will run like new and we will have smooth sailing, actually smooth driving, for the remainder of the trip.
Yesterday (Day 4) my masters had the brilliant idea to go to the Olympic Game Farm. This is a place where movie animals retire that were used in movies and TV series like Grizzly Adams. I wasn't sure about this from the beginning. I was to stay in the back seat, no one was allowed to get out of the car as you drive through these wild animals. When we entered the park, I could smell their disgusting odors and was not a bit pleased. When a llama stuck it's head inside the window for the bread that my masters bought to feed them, I panicked! I made myself as small as I could in the back seat (no small feat for a chubby dog like me) and basically, had an anxiety attack. I was never so glad to leave a place in my life! Who cares if the big smelly brown bear sits up for wheat bread??

The llamas chased our car!

Wouldn't YOU be scared!

RV Adventure-Day 2

 

After visiting some friends at Life Church in Oak Harbor, we took the ferry from Coupeville to Port Townsend.

My masters have some friends in Sequim and that's where we are staying the night. They have a beautiful house, but no dogs to play with. I was in the house for a little while, but then my Mr. Master took me for a walk and he decided that I was too dirty to come back in. I was relegated to sit outside the front door in the cold. Not what I consider first class treatment and I let him know.  It reminds me of a plaque we have at home in the Blue Heron Bed and Breakfast that says "What part of woof don't you understand?

We may be in a more remote area tomorrow where I will be unable to get Internet and so be unable to blog. However, check back frequently, and I will post on as many days as possible. "Woof" for now.

RV Adventure-Day 1

Do I look excited? Well, I am. This is my spot in the RV unless we are driving and then I ride shotgun pressed against my master's knee.

   We left pretty early and I would like to say that the first day was going to be an adventure. However, all we did was walk in freezing wind while new shocks were put on the 'ol RV.
    I was really working up an appetite and was surprised that we stopped at what is commonly referred to as a "roach coach". Man! It was so good, that when my Mr. Master handed me some of his chicken-rice burrito, I bit his finger by mistake. I felt terrible...hung my head for a split second and then decided I was forgiven and would try for more.

 

Going over Deception Pass to Whidbey

We were exhausted by the time the RV was done, so we decided to just go to Whidbey Island. We have Wi-Fi and electricity, but man! The jets are flying so low they make the RV shake! Oh, yeah, we are next to a Navy airbase flying jet fighters. They stop for dinner, don't they??

 

 

Did you worry? No news for a month? Well, this is what happened. My friend, Molly, went to college, you may remember. Her sister, Jessie, got a job. Both were helping me with ideas for my blog. Then, it got pretty quiet here at the  B&B like it does every Fall. I guess I just got lazy, and without my enthusiastic supporters, Molly and Jessie, I just stopped writing. BUT I'M BACK!

I have big news to share. My owners and I are going on the ultimate road trip in an awesome old RV that already smells like me. This is a 3 month trip from Orcas Island to California across the south to Boca Raton, Florida. My owners have been feverishly trying to get ready. Me? I'm waiting to see when my dog food and bones get loaded. Then I can relax. We leave Tuesday and I have a big job ahead of me. I've got the job of sharing our trip through my blog, Innkeeper Talk. I sure wish Molly and Jessie could go with me and give me some inspiration. I guess I'll have to rely on pictures and comments I overhear as we travel like a snail across the good 'ol USA.

Although I have been known to try to sneak into the performing art's center, my pungent dog smell usually gets me noticed and I am escorted out. However, there are some live performances that are not to be missed by all of you.  The Orcas Horns will but on a boisterous show at Orcas Center on October 5th.  They've promised some original material and surprise guests that will entertain and delight!  Horns are a little loud for me, so I am not even attempting to sneak in, but my Masters enjoy live music so they might make an appearance for the show.  I will be watching the Enchanted Forest Cabaret from the back door of Orcas Center sometime between October 10 and October 19.  I think there might be people dressed up as animals, which I find endlessly entertaining.
