thanksgiving!

mister damien and lady jami were bustling about very early this morning, and i knew we were heading out on a journey when they started packing my backpack. they threw a couple of my favorite toys, my food and my medicine into the pack and then we trotted out to the elevator and into the escape. i love driving! i curled up at mommy's feet and we were on our way. mommy and daddy bickered for a minute about some sounds the car makes, mommy wanted to listen to 'jingles' and daddy kept refusing to let her. i knew mommy won when she smiled and started singing "all i want for christmas".


we drove south on the infamous 405 freeway until daddy got angry about the sea of red lights in front of him. we got off of this freeway and drove on a really pretty street they called the PCH. this was really fun because they pulled the glass off the side of the car and i could smell everything we were driving past! i could smell the sand and salt so i had a feeling we were close to a beach like the one i was at a couple days ago.


we stopped in front of a pretty house with two blue cars in front, daddy and mommy jumped out of the escape and said hi to a giant man named pete. daddy said pete is his stepdad, does that mean they walk up him? they had a nice front yard with thick green grass and these really fun wood chips! sitting in the middle was this big yellow thing that smelled so tasty, i had to discover what it was... first i crept up on it and took a big sniff. the smell was so strong that i jumped back. what is this thing? i barked at it and it didn't even move, then i jumped on it and it started rolling down the yard. are you alive? finally i got the courage to walk back up to the yellow thing and take a bite. when i broke through the skin it tasted sweet and bitter. mommy and daddy were watching me and that is when they said "it's a lemon little helix, do you like it?!" i kept licking myself and i could only taste that lemon, wow, it tasted so strong!


then the giant man pete invited us into his home and i started another adventure. a pretty lady they called g-ma was holding a big dog on a rope. this was the first time that i met a german shepherd dog, her name is maya and she belongs to g-ma and pete. maya really loves mister damien so i think she decided i was ok as well. while i was playing with maya i could hear another big dog in the house, he sounded very protective. g-ma and pete said that this dog, deimus, was all talk and no bite but mister damien and lady jami were a bit worried about him so i didn't meet him today. there was so much to explore and smell in the house that i quickly forgot about the other dog. after we discovered everything in the house, g-ma let me out into a big park that they called the back yard. my new friend maya the german shepherd dog followed me out and we ran around the park for a while. after that i was so tired that i was falling asleep on the cool tile in g-ma's kitchen. mommy walked up with my blue bed and i was so excited that i crawled in and took a long nap.


we had one last adventure to go on today... daddy and mommy loaded me back in to the escape and we drove back to the beach. we made a pit stop at a nice place called kalani's where mommy got her coffee. when they let me out of the car we were at another park with a pretty view of the ocean. i ran around with my orange toy and smelled everything! mister damien and lady jami got some treats and we started working on my tricks. i am learning 'come', 'sit', 'down' and 'fetch'. i am not very good yet but daddy said i am still young and i am progressing well.
