Henrietta: The Dish

This is the life!

Well, my mom forced me to take yet another trip across the country. I had to be buckled into my seatbelt and that makes it awfully impossible to be able to snuggle on a lap, but it' s for my own good -- or so I was told.

We spent one night sleeping in the car. Well, we tried to sleep in the car but other cars and trucks kept pulling in and the people from there were talking and it was my duty to bark and warn mom of impending danger -- so not much sleep that night. The nexttwo nights we found a pet-friendly hotel that was also wallet friendly.

The worst part of the trip was the hot sun beating down on us. Mom got really sunburned the first day and blistered the next. She tried to keep me covered with a blanket to keep the sun off me.

Just getting settled back in NY and boy is it cold compared to Arizona.

Mother's little helper

Henrietta refuses to be left out of any of the action. As you can see here, she is being her usual helpful self when I was trying to make the bed. She either spent her time on top of the covers barking and tossing her toys around or ducking under the blanket and growling when I tried to move her to put the sheet on.

She's feeling my stress, I think, with the idea of the two of us making our way across the country from AZ to NY. We head out Monday after my meeting with my boss . Until then, I imagine she's happy the bed is made so she can dive under the blankets when bedtime comes.
