My Mini-Vacation at Uncle Roland's

Mama told me this morning that it's June. I like June! June is sunny and warm out before it gets really hot and the concrete hurts my paws. I got lots and lots of sun over the weekend because I got to stay with my Uncle Roland and Jackie down the hall. I love them. Uncle Roland lets me jump on him and lick him, and I like his house. He lives down the hall from us, but he has nicer furniture and something called a balcony, which is where I like to lie and sun myself.

Mama and Papa went away this weekend to a wedding. That's where two humans say things and tell everyone they're together forever. Mama likes weddings, she says. But this wedding was in a place called Washington, DC, so I had to stay somewhere else. I knew something was up on Friday night when Mama was packing her blue bag, then she packed MY blue bag and put my food in it. Then on Saturday morning, Mama put on my gray collar with all the tags and put Bunny in my bag and picked up my bed and opened the door. I thought we were going in a car, and I got so excited, but then we walked past the elevator which means we were going to Uncle Roland's!!!!!!!!

Uncle Roland took me and Jackie to the big park. He kept my collar on because Mama wasn't there, and when my collar is off, I like to RUN and CHASE. Uncle Roland knows this, so I had to stand next to him while all the other doggies sniffed all the butts. But Jackie stayed with me, so it was fun.

Then we went out for coffee with the doggy people. I don't like going out for coffee very much because I have to be quiet and still like a good boy, and I'd rather be at home with Woobie. But I stayed and talked to Jackie, then we went back to Uncle Roland's. I stole Jackie's hedgehog and took him over to the window.



Then I took a nap. Jackie and I played and slept all day. Jackie is a good friend. She lets me play with her toys. So I let her play with Bunny, but she tore a hole in Bunny. I think Jackie is jealous of Bunny. But it's ok. My papa will sew it up.

Visiting Uncle Roland is so nice because he lets me do things I'm not allowed to do at home. I slept in the big bed! Uncle Roland let me! At first I didn't want to and I stayed on my bed, but I missed my crate and there were no blankies. I like to lie on blankies. So Uncle Roland said, "Come on, Avon," and patted his bed, and I jumped up and snuggled and fell right to sleep. I hope I get to do that again! It was soft. Uncle Roland has the best blankies.

On Sunday, we went back to the park. Uncle Roland kept my collar on again. But I fooled him, because when he put my leash on the ground I saw a doggy I liked and I RAN SO FAST! I went all around the big park hill in a circle until I was so tired. Uncle Roland wasn't mad, but he said I shouldn't do that anymore. Maybe I'll listen to him. Then we went out to the coffee place again. Here's me. I'm a little sheepish because I know I didn't listen to Uncle Roland.


Then we went home. I decided it would be a good day to lie in the sun! Then I took a nap!



It was a wonderful day! Uncle Roland was going to take me home, but he hurt his back, so Jackie and I both stayed with him and kept him company. Then it was late in the day and I was trying to decide what to play with, and my mama walked in! I was so happy! I jumped up and scratched her a lot, and she gave me hugs and I gave her kisses. I love staying with Uncle Roland, but I missed Mama soooooo much! Then Papa came over too! All of my people were there! Yay!

Mama and Papa and I went home, and I saw Woobie again too. I missed Woobie lots and lots. But then I was so tired from all the running and the sun, so I went to my bed and went to sleep until Papa took me for my walk late at night.


I will miss Uncle Roland and Jackie when we go to North Carolina, but Mama says we will drive up once a year so I can see him and he can see me. I hope he comes to visit us. Mama says it is very good to have good neighbors and friends, and I agree. Or, as Mama says, I con-CUR.
