In The Groove...GRRR






















Well, I am back for an update...been tough finding time to get on this machine. Left Mobile, AL this morning after 3 days at Dog River Marina. I wonder if there is a Westie River Marina?? Lots of dogs around and we rented a car with some other folks we are traveling with on a boat called Biddie and the Beast. Mom finally got to go to Fairhope and shop and also went to Gulf Shores and THEY ate at Lulus (Jimmy Buffets sister's resturant). We traveled 69 miles today and things really look different as we are in bigger waters. Lots of sun today and finally saw some white sand on the way to Pensacola, Fl. We saw the Blue Angels practicing today....very noisy!!

You may think I have life of Riley on this trip but wanted to post a few pics to let you know I am contributing quite a bit. Taking care of safety equipment, rolling up lines, cleaning the deck and main salon...which I do after Mom and Dad eat....with all that work I do have to get in my nap time as well.

Got a bath today while underway and I was not happy about that as I prefer to help Dad with the navigation activities...I let Mom know about it too!! I do smell better though. Then tonight Dad pulls out this Dremel tool and here we go again with getting my nails ground...wonder how they would feel getting their nails ground with a dremel tool.

We are headed for Destin, FL tomorrow and will spend Thanksgiving there .....this is all new to me but I am thankful to be on this trip. Something different every day and seeing lots of new and strange birds and big dolphins in the water...I may have to take a dip in near future at least I am trying....a couple of near misses already!!

I do think I am getting hang of this boat trip...I really like it when we hang out at a marina for more than just one day!! Also, I get to go on long walks/runs and smell around and today got to dig in sand (after bath, Mom not happy)!!

Later.....

Bark More, Growl More!!

  4. Willi! Riley probably misses you more than you can imagine. She is in puppy jail until we get back from LA. Very cool about the dophines. Stay out of the water... They like little furry white dogs. Keep in touch and tell the folks Happy Thanksgiving.

    Your Big Brother Matt
