Settling In

Hi, its Mea'Ola again. 
Wow, things are sure different here than in Puerto Rico. The first two nights I was with my new mom she had me sleep in my crate. One the third night I got to sleep on her bed with her. At first I wouldn't jump up because I was little scared.

One night she came home from work and said it was pretty chilly out and she made a fire. I loved laying near the fire. It was so warm. 

It only took me a couple of days to realize that the kitchen rug is a pretty good place for a nap, until mom chases me out of the kitchen when she cooks. She tells me "out of the kitchen" and says its for my own good.



The first couple of nights mom put this pad on the floor, just in case, she said. It was an okay substitute for a bed. Now I sleep on the leather sofa or in mom's big arm chair. 


The road trip is coming up soon, mom is running around and packing kibble for me.

A Spring Trip to Decatur, GA

Image
Hi everyone, it's spring time and the weather is pretty nice, not too hot yet and no more frosts or freezes for awhile. Since mom's youngest grandchild was close to her first birthday mom thought it would be a great time for a road trip up to Decatur, Georgia to see the birthday girl, Annabelle, and her parents.  A couple of days before the trip, mom's son called to ask what time we would be arriving. Then he added that he had taken Sunday off to spend time with our mom. On Sunday, March 20th we were up at 4:00 am so we could be on the road early. We pulled out of our driveway at 5:30. Mom always adds extra time to our ETA to allow me to take potty walks. She's really good like that. I mean, I could hold it all day like I do when she's at work, but she's says if we're together there is no reason for me to have to hold it. Unless it is pouring rain, but that is another story altogether.  We met up with her son and her youngest granddaughter at a restaurant ca...

Mom's Annual Birthday Trip 2022

 Hey everyone, it's Mea'Ola and I'm back. I know it's been a while since mom last posted, but her computer died and then every time she had enough money saved up to buy a new laptop, I had to go to the vet and there went all of mom's saved money. Now that I'm healthy and mom's back to normal she can get back to blogging, cooking and taking trips. So, back in June of 2022 mom booked her annual birthday trip, but this time she booked a large house so her daughter, her son in-law and their 3 children could join us. They also brought their dog which created some issues. But on with the story, as you might remember from previous posts, mom likes to take the backroads when possible. On this trip we went up through Helen, Georgia. It's a Bavarian style town, really cute but the summer traffic was terrible. It was a hot day, so while mom unloaded the truck, I stayed inside the air conditioning and got comfortable. Mom's daughter picked a waterfall for everyo...

Mom's Birthday Trip 2023

Image
Summertime is terribly hot and humid in Florida so mom always heads to the mountains. In 2022 the place she picked wasn't too far north of Atlanta, so it was not cool. In 2023 we went to Mount Airy, North Carolina, not far from the Virginia state line. It was not all cool as mom and I would have liked it to be, but it was better than Florida. Now, an important fact to know about Mount Airy, is it is famous for two things. First, it is the birthplace of Andy Griffith and the town was used as the town of Mayberry in the Andy Griffith Show. Secondly, it is home to the world's largest open air granite quarry. Anyway, mom found this pet friendly place named Lily's Place and the rate was very reasonable. The owners love dogs and your pets are welcome on the sofa and the bed.  Mom loved the sign when we first walked in. I've gotten this vacation stuff down pat, and mom doesn't have to medicate me anymore before we leave on trips. Now I take a nap while she unloads the truc...
