Back from vacation - Updated again with ocean photos

lmtoth2 · 05-31-2008, 06:07 PM

We had a great time. Dexter was SOOO well behaved!! There were 5 other adults in the house and I couldn't have asked for much more from him. He only stole 1 flip flop, had a few barking incidents, and almost stole 1 hamburger bun...besides that nothing bad! Our car ride was about 9.5 hrs each way and we did not hear a single peep out of him either way.
He loves the ocean (had some off leash time too) and had fun swimming in the pool at our house. I'll post some photos later on when I download them.

We are waiting to be able to pick up Kirby - my friend had an appointment today and won't be home till near 9 - I can't wait to see him. I was told he had a very good week

P.S. Forgot to mention - Dex probably had his greatest day ever this past Thursday...he got off leash time in the ocean and then took a walk with us to Dairy Queen - the kid working brought him a vanilla ice cream cup. We never let him (or Kirby) eat stuff like that, but his eyes were so big we couldn't resist

It was gone in 20 seconds...haha

Ok - the best (ocean) photos are on my husband's camera and I don't know how to download from there...so I'll post some of those later...but here are some pool photos. We tried him w/o the life vest, but he wasn't doing so well...his back legs were almost on the bottom of the pool...haha

and Dex in the car (he literally slept 8.5 out of the 9.5 hr ride home)...
