I Am Curious - Jack

Yesterday, the tall guy said we needed to get out of the house and what would I say if we went up to the mountains (the close ones, not the camping ones). Well, I just looked at him because he knows I can't talk, but if I could talk, I would have said "Sure, I think we need a vacation.", but then we wouldn't have got to go to the mountains because he would have fainted because he had a talking dog! So, anyway, we piled into the car (do families pile into their cars in your part of the country or is that just a Southern thing?) and off we went.

We drove for a little while and the tall guy said I was doing so good, he gave me a carrot! That was a nice snack. It was really nice and it started getting cooler and there were more trees (real trees, not the ones that will stick you if you get too close). Finally we got to where we were going and boy was it nice!

The tall guy said the trees here haven't really started turning yet and that we would come back to see them when the leaves started turning. I don't know what they are turning into, but that will sure be interesting to see!

The tall guy said I was being very curious about all the different kinds of smells and I guess I was.


We even saw 3 deers, which is something I had never seen before. I hadn't even seen ONE deer before, let alone THREE. The tall guy said they were a family. He tried to get a picture, but the noise of the car scared them away before he could get the camera ready.

We got to walk a lot, even though the tall guy said he should have worn something other than shorts and a t-shirt. I tried to tell him before we left that it would be cold, but, once again, not being able to talk turned out to be a problem!

On the way back, the tall guy stopped to take some more pictures (evidently he does take pictures of something other than ME) and so I decided to pop my head out of the window to get one more good-bye sniff!


He took some more pictures of our vacation trip, so I'll see if the tall guy will help me put them on here tomorrow.

  6. Did Tall Guy let you drive to the vacation? I like to drive but Mom makes me sit in back. Pawpa lets me drive but not when SHE is in the car.

    Grrrrs from Giz

  7. I'm sure the TG really enjoyed this trip too, but I'll bet he would have enjoyed a talking dog even more... once he got over the initial shock!

  8. Will you let us know what the trees turn into? As for "piling" into the car, we don't do that in Arizona, but we have piled out of the car when Sam was collided with us!

  10. A Mini-vacay! How fun! i wish we had mountains or anything cooler than hot flat sunshine around here. If I could talk I would tell momma to pile in the car and head north till there was snow or mountains!
    Did you see any Moose? Sometimes when there are deer there are Moose...

    p.s. Aren't carrots the best! Well for non-meaty things they are anyway!
