Well, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later...I got caught by Mom doing my update (see the pic). So what....I wanted to give you all my latest views on this trip. I am doing great and getting to roam all over the boat without too may "no's". My days start with sleeping as late as possible with Mom as Dad is still up way too early for Mom and I. It takes me a while to get going but when I do, I do big time. I get out pretty quickly and take care of business on my head and back inside to eat my treat spiked breakfast...I hold out as long as possible to eat because eventually Mom and Dad will put the treats in the regular stuff. We are moving about every day now and I have to stay in the condo until we are squared away and then I go upstairs and hang out with Dad and Mom on the bridge. Sometimes I go up to bow and hide out under the front seat where Dad stores the water hoses...Mom found me there recently. For the last week or so we have been stopping a lot along the way to 'lock thru' as Dad says. Mom goes outside and holds the boat except when the lock has only ropes hanging down and both Mom and Dad have to go hold the boat. We have been through 23 locks since Troy, NY with several stops at some marinas and lock walls.
We are now in Brewerton, NY at Winter Harbor marina which is right on the Erie Canal. Mom left all day yesterday to some place south of here to look at the place where she got her dishes...Mack and Child or something like that. I get to do some exploring once in a while as you can see in the pics...but need a sign for our boat that says 'Beware of Westie" like the one on the tree. I am still helping Dad with maintenance work and am learning to use the channel locks...at least make the handles are well worn. We are leaving tomorrown heading up the Oswego canal to Lake Ontario and then on to Thousand Islands and Canada within a week or so....I will have to check in to the Westie customs office and report my toys and treats and any other contraband just like Mom and Dad. Will let you know about that.
Enjoy the pics and remember...bark more, growl more!!
