I am very, very tired today. I was at my daycare for four whole days! I ran and ran and ran and got rubs and hung out and now I am so tired. I boarded because Mama and Papa went to Florida for Passover to see Bubbe and Zayde.
Passover is Mama's favorite holiday. It is when we tell the story of Moses and the Israelites and how they got away from mean Pharaoh in Egypt. Pharaoh was a very mean man. He made the Israelites work and work and didn't give them any treats. So Moses came to save them-- he was a Hebrew but he grew up with Pharaoh because his mama adopted him when he was a little baby. My mama says that Moses's mama found him floating down a river and she decided to rescue him. That sounds like how I got adopted too! Except a river isn't like a shelter. But still. Moses was a Badass, just like me. Anyway, Pharaoh wouldn't let his people go, so Moses asked G-d for help and G-d sent the plagues, which were things like boils and hail and beasts, but for some reason G-d didn't send any cats. (I think Pharaoh would have let them go sooner if G-d had sent cats.) After all that, the Hebrew people wandered in the desert for forty days and forty nights, and they ate matzah and drank a lot of wine. That's what Mama does on Passover too, except for the wandering.
Mama says that for the eight days of Passover, we eat special food and we don't eat other food. I asked Mama what we're not allowed to eat, and she said we cannot have pasta or bread or rice or peas and a whole lot of other things. No rice and no peas! That's what's in my kibble! I am a Jewish doggy so I must keep Passover, I said, but Mama said no, the rules don't apply to doggies. OK, Mama.
Anyway, Mama and Papa had a very nice time. They went to two seders and met Bubbe's friend's dog, Yofi, who is very fluffy and very spoiled. They gave him belly rubs. They said Florida was nice but it is very weird being in Bubbe and Zayde's house without Aunt Krissie. That is sad.
On Saturday, Mama and Papa went to Big Cypress Preserve and they saw an alligator! Right there in front of them! Mama said it was cool but a little scary because she did not know what the gator would do when she walked behind it. I would have barked loud at it and told it to get outta my mama's way! Mama said that is why I am not allowed in the preserve.
On Sunday, Mama and Papa went to the Botanical Gardens, which are very pretty. Doggies are usually allowed there on Sunday mornings, but not for a while because the Gardens have dinosaurs! Mama said they move and even spit. I would have barked loud at them too-- dinosaurs are not supposed to be around flowers! Or around little humans or my mama! Mama said that is why I am not allowed in the Gardens.
While they were away, I got to stay at my daycare. Mama dropped me off on Wednesday morning and I saw Mr. Josh right away. He is so cool. I get lots of rubs from him. I played and played, then all of my buds left and I was very confused! But the nice people took me to a nice bed and put my blankie on it and I slept a lot, then I got up the next morning and got to play right away! It was so exciting! I played for four whole days. I got special time with Mr. Mike and Mr. Jeffy and Mr. Josh-- they are my favorites. I like some of the nice ladies too, but the nice men are the best. I was kind of sleepy on Monday and I told Mr. Mike I didn't feel like playing, so we just hung out. A few hours later, they put my leash on and took me outside and there were my mama and papa! I was so happy to see them! We got in the car and went home. I had some water and took all my toys over to my bed and I fell asleep. All that playing was exhausting. It is very nice to be home and in my own bed.
Mama woke me up this morning and we went for our walk, so I guess we are back in our routine now. That's ok. I like vacation, but I like it best when we are all home and relaxing together.
