Wow, things have been really busy around here lately. Cappy and John decided that we are going to go on a big sailing adventure all the way to Florida, where ever that is. So we've been working really hard to get the boat thing ready to go. It's been so crazy around here that I can hardly even find time to take a nap. I still try to stretch out on the sofa every now and then, but it's never for long.
Since Cappy has been gone so much lately, I've had to help John with a lot of the boat work. We put on a new sail and new green bag thing to cover it up with; then we put on a new boom (That's just a funny word for this long pole thing that lets the sail sit on it.). We even had to work on the engine. Now, that's an odd duck for you. It's bright blue and has lots of parts and pieces; and it makes a lot of noise. I can't quite figure out how it works, but John knows, so I guess we're ok. Thank goodness I was there to help him.
When Cappy was home last weekend, I had to help her sew some things. She was making some new sheets to cover some of the bed cushions. I could tell she needed help, so I laid on them and tried to hold them down for her. I just do what ever I can to help out.
We had a really fun thing on Saturday. I knew something big was coming up because Cappy and John bought me a cool new shirt, gave me a bath (ugh!), and got me all dressed up. Then, they took me to the boat and all of a sudden, there was this big party with lots of people all around. Everyone was happy and having a good time, and they were paying a lot of attention to me. I liked that a lot! There was lots of food and things to drink. I didn't get much of either, but I did get a few bites of food and a nice big bowl of water. And, I learned that "bon voyage" means "good-bye" or "have a good trip" or something like that.
