I have some very exciting news, I think. I heard John and Cappy talking the other night about finally finishing our boat trip to Florida, and it looks like we might be going sooner that we thought. There's something about Cappy's work schedule that's gotten all messed up and we have to change our plans. Both John and Cappy have been very busy getting stuff ready to take to the boat so we can get her back out onto the ocean again. I sure hope it's not as rough out there as it was the last time!
From what I'm hearing, I think the new plan is for the three of us to drive in John's big truck to the place where the boat is now. I remember, from when John and I went there a couple of weeks ago to work on the boat, that's it's in a town called Slidell.
Then, after we get we get there and get all our stuff loaded onto the boat, we're going to sail it the rest of the way to this other place called Destin, Florida, where John's daughter and her family live. I will finally get to meet the little baby that came to help John sail the boat after Cappy and I had to leave him and the boat behind before in another place called Houma. And I'm really excited about getting to meet my cousin Morgan. She's a big golden retriever and I've heard that she's lots of fun.
After we spend a few days there in Destin, the three of us are going to rent a car and drive back to where the truck will be waiting, and then drive home in the truck from there. Whew! I'm getting to see all sorts of places and things that I've never seen before, and I like that.
To make sure that I'm okay to make this next trip, Cappy took me to see my doctor last Friday. After my little accident at the puppy barber shop, John took me to see her, and she got me all patched up. It took quite a while for the cut to heal, and it hurt sometimes, but now she says I'm just fine and I'm ready to go sailing again. The only thing she could find wrong with me was some gunky stuff in my ears. But the doctor gave Cappy some medicine for me and now she keeps squirting this stuff into my ears and it makes them tickle. She really squealed the other day when I shook my head and got the stuff all over her. I thought it was pretty funny, so did John.
I had another nice surprise this weekend when my friend Lilly and her family came over to our house. We played some, but mostly just hung out. Lilly is a sailing pup too, so we have lots of stories to share with each other. That's a nice thing.
So, things are very busy at our house right now. John and Cappy keep looking at these map things called charts and planning how we're going to get to Florida. I just hope things don't get so busy that I have to miss my naps!
