BlogPaws 2013 - The Adventure Begins!

I'm going on a trip! 
 I know it is a long car ride because I saw the luggage.  BOL!
 I like trips; there is so much new territory to mark.   I drank lots of water, so that I could mark the dog paths at the rest areas really good.   When the long car ride was finished, we still weren't finished traveling.
   We boarded an Amtrak train.   Mom really enjoys riding in a sleeper room, and eating in the dining car.  There is a rule on the train:  No pets allowed - service dogs only.   Time for me to switch to work mode.   I have to be quiet on the train.  I smuggled my pal @TinyPearlCat aboard the train.   I told her to be very quiet.
Wait a minute, you don't smell like a kitty!  I've been tricked!  This is Flat Pearl.   I wonder if the no pets rule applies to Flats.   At least she won't need a litter box.  BOL!  I was a little worried because I didn't pack one.
When our train ride was finished, I could see Emmy!  We must be at BlogPaws!!  I hope we can fit all of our luggage into Emmy's car.  BOL!   This year BlogPaws is in Tyson's Corner, VA.  It is near Washington, DC.  There are many famous places to see and sniff. 
At Union Station I could see the Liberty Bell.  The white building peeking through the trees is the Capitol. 
In our hotel room, Emmy introduced me to Charlotte.  Charlotte lives with Emmy.   I was nice to Charlotte, and I didn't try to chase her.  
I have a MilkOpet beard!  BOL!!
I usually lose my appetite when we travel, so Mom packed some MilkOpet.  She poured some on my food each morning to tempt me.   Even if I didn't want to eat, at least I would be getting some nutrients and calories from drinking the MilkOpet.  (Note to self - I should include this tip the next time I write a travel post.)
Emmy, Mom, Rocco, Rocco's mom, and I went to visit the Chrysalis vineyard on Wednesday afternoon.   I posed for a photo with my pals Rocco, Oliver, and Emmy before we went to the vineyard.    We were tired and ready for bed when we returned to the hotel.

Woof, my yapper is tired.  I'll bark more about BlogPaws soon.

  8. TW and Plush CK were so excited to meet you. We didn't know any of the other woofies there. TW said your Mom is separated at birth from a dear friend of hers who's a vet tech and works with shelter pets down in Baton Rouge.

    You certainly are getting to see a lot of things in your travel the Liberty Bell did you get a chance to swing by Washington DC and see those sights.

    I thought your cat was real when first looking at it till you mentioned it was flat kitty and you were tricked.

    Your pals Rocco and Emmy looks really nice. I bet you were totally exhausted after that wonderful trip.

  13. Okay, tell the truth, Pepper. How much of that luggage was your Mom's and how much of it was yours? Somehow I bet a large portion of it was yours! BOL So glad you had a wonderful time.
    Hugs,
