Check out my link to
"Widget Goes West"
for pictures from my trip west to Boulder, CO the summer of '09.

Thank you to all of my friends who voted for me and special thanks to Carolyn for the great photo (from our trip together to Nashville - Summer 2011).

I had to go to Heaven to wait for my friend Carolyn ("The Little One") who finally succumbed to cancer.  But for 18 months she didn't let it get the best of her.

We had awesome trips and crammed as much life as we could into those 18 months.  We're now watching over all our friends we left behind...  Keep an eye out for butterflies!

It was a big Summer for me.  I turned 13!  We went north and had two trips to Boston for concerts at Fenway and a Wedding on the Cape.

Here I am at Rowes Warf doing what I do best (other than marking, of course)...

We stayed in FLA this Summer and I took care of Mom. 

It was another great winter to be here in FLA at Buster's Beach Bungalow, far away from the "Polar Express".

Here I am waiting for Santa...

Under the category of "carpe diem", Buster uses a trip to Boston as an opportunity for a little self-promotion on HGTV...

...Mom & Dad says that the McCartney concert at Fenway was awesome.  I enjoyed the Hilton and markin' on the Rose Kennedy Greenway (good grass!).

I also hung out in Nashville for a couple days on the way home.  Not crazy about the glass elevators in the hotel, I must say...

We made our annual trip to Key West this winter where I did some serious markin'. 

This winter I took swimming lessons with my buddies in the Cove...















...It was great!!.















...but I think I swallowed a little too much sea  water.




 

On a sad note, my little buddy Snick left this world on July 30th and left us all feeling very empty...

...It just won't be the same without him.

Instead of Key West this winter we headed back to New Orleans with a whole crew from FLA -- even my buddy "Max"!


"OKAY I'M READY FOR BOURBON STREET!!"...  I've got some markin' to do.

.

We went to Key West again, but this time I got to order when we hit Sloppy Joe's --


"A BUCKET OF ICE WATER PLEASE WITH PLENTY OF ICE!!!"...  I've got a lot of marking to do on Duval Street.

.

We went to Key West again and hit all the best smells -- Hog's Breath, Sloppy Joe's, Fat Tuesdays...

...speaking of best smells, something came over me when we passed an ice cream & cookie store on Duval Street.  I pulled a Houdini move with the collar, gave Dad the slip and  darted into the shop.  Boy was that great!

I love road-trips, but It's always great to be back home!  Do you like my Halloween bandana?

We traveled to Lake Placid where they had snow on the sidewalk in the summer!  I couldn't help but make a little yellow snow...

We also went to Vermont for Dad's family reunion where they took me to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory.  Boy, was that great.  I think they have very CREAMY cows there.

While others admire the sunsets in Key West at Mallory Square, I'm looking at the street-performer with the French accent and the house-cats and the dog in boxer-shorts walking a tight-wire!

We got back to Florida in plenty of time for Halloween.  Mom says Halloween in Florida is nice because the little trick-or-treaters don't have to wear heavy coats over their costumes.

We took a different route back to Florida so Dad could show us the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It was very pretty, but very twisty and my tummy felt funny after a while...

I wish the damn cat would leave my toys alone...

We started off 2006 with a trip to Key West.  Boy was that fun!  There are so many great smells in Key West.  We did everything.  Stay tuned for more pictures...

We found Santa in Florida staying cool inside the mall.  He was pretty insistent that Mom sit on his lap for the photo???

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my fans.

This Summer we went to Vermont for Dad's family reunion.  This is me and Mom in downtown Burlington, VT.

After the reunion we took a ferry across Lake Champlain to upstate New York.  That was different!

We cruised the Adirondacs; saw Lake Placid and Lake George; but my favorite part was when we stayed with Dot & Rock at their place in the Finger Lakes.

It was great to visit New England and New York in the Summer, but it's nice to be back in Florida on my lawn where it's always Summer.

This is me at the Boston Marathon last year when I used to live in the Boston area.  I was just a pup then, but I'm a big-boy now.
