Dog Country...Finally




















Well, I am finally back again and happy to report that we are in Dog country....Georgia Bulldog country that is. We finally got out of Florida at least that's what Mom says. Since I last got to do an update a lot has passed. Mom got a new little pink boat to paddle around in and I get to go with her once in a while. Good thing I didn't go last time because she turned over in alligator infested waters and I think a gator might have a liking for a little Westie. We left St. Augustine, Fl. and as Dad says 'stayed on the hook' off of Cumberland Island , Ga where the horses run wild....boy I envy them! We are now in Savannah, Ga and I met a new friend (a little Pug) named Savannah as well...we had lots of fun running free and wild (without the durn leash!) on the dock. On the way up things got a little rough a couple of times going through some 'sounds' and Dad got real intense going through some place called 'Hell Gate' at low tide. He was going crazy at the helm holloring something about the depth finder reading zero...but we made it without any big problems. Mom had a big time going through St. Andrews sound when we had 6-8 foot seas and water over the top of the boat...what a ride Dad and I said! Not really, because I don't eat or drink much when we are moving. We stopped in a place called Jekyll Island before Savannah and got fuel and met some new friends. Thats where Mom flipped in her new kayak and lost some shoes but made it back OK without any gator bites. Mom fixed a nice Easter dinner on her new plates and as you can see in the pic I am under the table NOT on the table during a family holiday...what a bummer!

Uncle Bill and Aunt Charlotte came and visited us a couple of days and I like to have company to check them out and they really like to play with me. Mom and Dad and them went to Savannah and toured the town and then went today to Hilton Head and LEFT me in the big pen they call a condo for some reason...guess they think it sounds better than just leaving me couped up all day in a cage. I can't complain because Dad or Mom walk me a long way when we get into a marina and I like that. My life on the boat is going OK...I am getting used to the moving and just chill out and try to sleep while we are underway. I also got some new toys and a little toy that Mom puts treats or peanut butter in and I really have to work to get it out..but its worth it!

Tomorrow we leave for Beaufort, South Carolina and then on to Charleston. We will be in Charleston for several days which is good for me....Dad is leaving to go to Houston to see Jamey and watch some baseball games. Anyway, that about it...you can see some of my recent pics.

Remember, bark more, growl more.

  1. Thanks for the update. Love the pink kayak - and very thankful the dip in the gator-infested water had a good ending :) So happy you finally made it to Savannah - such a lovely place. Beaufort Gardens in S.C. are beautiful and Charleston is another great spot to visit. We stayed at the Vendue Inn (B&B) in Charleston - great memories. So glad Charlotte and Bill were able to join y'all for awhile. Thanks for the Lighthouse postcard.........miss you too. Love ya!
