Pixie's Big Adventure

Pixie and I went on a trial visit up to Lake Tahoe to see my grandparents this week. We stayed at the dog-friendly Montbleu Casino, (formerly Caesar's Tahoe). Pluses: jacuzzi tub, tons of down pillows, dogs, cats and birds welcome. Minuses: 8th floor pet wing rather far from semi-dark doggie park area, maids vacuuming and having a conversation down the hall at 11 pm, $35 extra pet fee.

Pixie still had a terrific time, especially sleeping on the bed and sitting in Grandpa's lap. I think next time Mike and I will go up and scout the location first to make sure there isn't a semi-dark midnight hike involved, and then Pixie will get to go up again for a visit. Tugboat's legs aren't up to the drive, but luckily, he loves his doggie hotels here in town.

When we arrived, Grandma was practicing her dexterity exercises, and proudly demonstrated her ability to put on and take off a pair of fitted wool gloves. We all had a very nice meatloaf dinner together, as well as coffee and breakfast the next morning.

He SAID I could get up here.

Kiss, kiss, snorgle, snorgle.

Why don't you go and get us some snacks? I'll be right here.

Hot tub, anyone?

Beats the heck out of the Motel 8!
