Saturday's Adventure

Yep, Susie and Sidebite figured it out specifically...Saturday morning Max and I headed off to Galveston, Texas, about 1-1/2 hours away from Houston to the beach! It was an overcast, rainy sort of day but since I only get the one day off a week, we said the heck with it and loaded up the car and off we went...you can tell by the photos that it was really overcast and rained on us on the way there even, but it didn't stop the dynamic duo! Good news is it didn't rain while we were there! Yea!

Yea! No rain!

Lots of great smells in the seaweed and driftwood!

At first I was ok to get my paws wet, later I decided sand was better!

Ma! Ma!....LOOK...it's like Uncle's fish tank in here!!!

Too bad I didn't grab that tiny fishy I saw...yum...bet it was chicken flavored!

But Ma, I'm SURE that lady wants to pet me!!! Come on!!!

This is my Stealth...I might just get you seagull pose!!!

Ma's feets....ewww...haven't ya heard of shoes for humans Ma??? 

Oh, I wish my lady-pup Chloe was here!!! Now SHE would look great in a swimsuit!!!

I really like to watch the seagulls and a little boy throws bread to them and they catch it in mid air!
I could do that if I REALLY wanted to, I choose, however, to be more dignified!

Look Ma! I can write my name now!!!

Not real sure what this flavor is but I like it!

Watered seaweed and driftwood, check!

Ma set up my own personal cabana and was feeding me special treats and water...gotta stay hydrated!

Ok, done playing at the beach...Nap time!!!

What the DOG?!! Ma says we're on a Ferry Boat!!! But The Ferry Boat people aren't nice!! I am not allowed out of the car so Ma put down all the windows! More Seagulls and LOTS of people came by to say hello to me in the car! I like the kids especially!!! One mini-human even gave me a Cheeto!

Ma screwed up and got the photos out of sequence cuz this was when we left the beach. I think I need a beach house too to add to my collection of houses I have but Ma says no...gosh, what a buzz kill Ma can be! I told her to just charge it, she still said no! 

Ma and me got outta the car on our way home and took these pixs by the Seawall but I think I can spray better than the ocean can! 

Funny humans on that Seawall

Ma says no dogs here so they won't be getting Ma's money! (of course I STILL say she could buy me a beach house! Urr!!)

ANOTHER non-doggie place called Pleasure Pier...Ma hasn't been there yet but my cousin did and had a blast! (My cousin is a human...)

Overkill Ma...we get it...fun! Whoo Hoo...if you are a HUMAN!! I think we need to write a letter to the Mayor of Galveston demanding a Pleasure Pier for Pups!!!

A beach along the Seawall but Ma prefers the ones we can drive on so we didn't go there and they aren't as full of humans.

Ma says maybe next time we can ride these....

Despite the mean Ferry Boat people this Ferry Boat is cool!!! I really like it when they honk the horn!

Well, it wasn't a Bald Eagle but ya get the point! (I think Ma's a crack-head sometimes!)

Still not a Bald Eagle Ma....what's in your cup????

Hey, dopey...you aren't a seagull or a Human...not even a Mini-Human, how did YOU get permission to be out on the Ferry Boat?! Discrimination against pups I tell ya!!!

Ma had to show some Texas Pride! (HA...she's not even a REAL Texan..she was born in Connecticut and I'm from California!...Ma's just crazy as a loon sometimes!...maybe it's cuz my Big Brother and Big Sister are native Texans?!? Who knows, I just humor Ma sometimes....it's easier that way!)

See that piece of bread? The smart seagulls catch it in their mouths in mid air!!

Driving home we saw LIGHTNING! I decided to bark the first time it happened! Then I sat up to get a better view of it...I liked it!!! Not so much of a fan on the thunder but glad we were in Ma's car! Oh I almost forgot to tell you guys...when we were getting back on the Ferry Boat and were in line the Security Humans made Ma go to a special lane...it's where they tell Ma to get outta the car and open her trunk, glovebox, console and hood. So she pops the truck with a fancy button inside her car, explains there is no console (cuz she got the cheap version of a car), opens the glovebox and her GPS fell out, then the Security Humans told her SHE was gonna have to pop open her hood, I don't think Ma would be a good mechanic as it took her several tries to do it! The Security Human Men's kinda chuckled! Then they put special wands under her car! Apparently they do this to random cars at certain times for Homeland Security reasons. Ma asked if she could take their picture and they were nice but said no and laughed and told Ma and me to have a great day! I'm sure THEY would have been ok with me being out on the Ferry Boat!!!

Ma curses a lot in bad traffic and before long our car was getting hailed on! It was so bad rain that it got pitch black outside but we sure had some fun while it lasted!!! I wanna go back soon!

Have a beautiful day whether it's raining or not and let your smile be your umbrella!!!

(..wow...Ma overdosed on sickening sweet today!!! Cheers...off to find that bottle of wine I hid)
