They Really Love Me

Bunny here, still typing about my adventures from the beach.

Saturday morning, an amazing thing happened.  Before Mom and I were even awake, Dad sent a text message after he read the blog.  He asked how much the sting ray collar was that I liked so much.  After Mom told him, he said he had a little more money that we could use if we wanted and he sent it to us.  Mom got up and got dressed and then we went down to the place where the vendor was selling it.  They still had the one I wanted and we finally got it after I'd admired it twice before. 

After we got my collar, we came back and met DJ and his mom and went to breakfast at Sharkey's.  As we arrived, DJ peed on my head!  So, for anybody wondering if he's my boyfriend, well, he's my friend and he's a boy, but there's nothing romantic about pee on your head.  Mom bought a bottle of water and washed my head off.  So, I'd say I'm a lucky girl and Mom and Dad both really love me.

The rest of the morning we spent shopping.  I never thought I'd say it, but by the end of the afternoon, I was shopped out.  There were vendors everywhere selling all kinds of Greyhound stuff.  There were coats and collars, t-shirts for humans, stuff for houses, artwork, hats, treats, decals and magnets to decorate cars, jewelry for hounds and humans and more stuff that I can't even remember. 

In the midst of our shopping, Mom took me to a professional photographer to get my portait done.  Mom was very excited about this because all of the other Greyhounds before me have had their pictures taken by him and Mom really wanted one of me, too.  Furtography was also nice enough to let Mom use a digital image of Treat from a few years ago for an article she wrote for Celebrating Greyhounds when she didn't have any pictures of her that were good enough to use.  The funny part was that they knew about me and my blog from Facebook!  I guess I'm more famous than I realized.

We came back to the room and I had a good nap.  I am really glad that hotel has such soft beds.  A hound could really get used to such luxury!  Speaking of luxury, I hope that Mom and Dad make me one of these so I can ride around in style when I'm too old to walk on my own.

Mom had been hoping to get some good pictures of me at sunset, but I slept a little too late, so we went back to the beach and enjoyed the peaceful evening.  We took a couple of pictures, but didn't have time for too much.  After we came back to the room, I curled up and slept like a puppy.

So, I learned that it's good to have a blog and it's good to remember who loves you the best.  My vacation has been wonderful, but I'll still be happy to be home with all my family again.  It's nice to have a vacation so that you can remember those things, though!
