Friday started off as a normal day, the sun was shining warm, with a hint of spring and the birds were singing. Normal as that is, I also happened to notice that dad was packing his suitcase. Not wanting to jump to any conclusions, I proceeded to speculate as he packed. As nosey as I am, when dad went down stairs I had to follow. Low and behold, he was grabbing my travel bag! By now, all speculation had become concrete...ROAD TRIP! But to where I still did not know since I didn't think we had anything scheduled for this weekend. But as we all know, I never turn down the chance to embark on new adventures!
Before I knew it we were settling into our ride which would last about 4 hours and have us ending in Oregon. As I would later discover it was dad’s weekend at my favorite boy’s college. Oh boy was I psyched!!! Not only was I going to get to see my buddy, Jacob, (my big brother) but I also get to meet all of his friends. Meeting new friends is always the best because I knew that they would have lots of scritches for me!! Note to self: Jacob has great friends!
We got to McMinnville and Jacob would take us to his house show us around and I would get to see his roommates again, they all love me!!! We then headed to a restaurant with 2 other dads that we had ridden down with and now my nose went into overdrive! Between his house, the campus, and the pizza parlor I was lovin’ the smells!
Upon entering the pizza parlor there was a cute little girl who approached my cuteness as I reeled her in with my amazing stare, “pet me, I know you want too”, and I raised my eyebrows at her!! BINGO…she got my dad’s attention, asked, and to my pleasure he let her meet me and then pet me.
Life is good!
After being a good boy and lying on the floor, I wasn’t even rewarded with a dropped pizza crust, nothing, nada! And to my disappointed it was time to leave and head back to the fraternity. Upon entering there was music playing and odors my nostrils have never smelled before. A crowd of people meant it was time for me to turn on the charm and do some work. Yes oh yes I managed to do this in a huge way and if dad had not had a tight hold on me I might have just become the new mascot of Theta Chi.
As I came into the Fraternity I noticed a morsel that was lying in the corner and I, being of K9 origin, thought this was would be a nice little snack. Well you need to remember this is a guy’s fraternity house. Now I am not a finicky eater and one who puts all sorts of things in my mouth without even thinking, so I stretched as far as I could and snagged it off the ground… WRONG CHOICE! This crusty, old piece of bread might have been there for a couple of years including a good amount of parasites from who knows what science experiment. Note to self, do not eat off the Fraternity Floor! (Not like they don't clean but no one can clean good enough with a tongue like this!)
After a day of travel, smells, and people, I was definitely ready for a good night’s rest, and then I found out that no one really rests on dad’s weekend. So even though I was not home, and in a strange town, and did not get to sleep with my boy on his mattress, I was happy to just be in his room with all of his smells around me!
And remember guys, DO NOT EAT STALE BREAD OFF THE FRATERNITY FLOOR!! Eruff said.
Wags to You!
