This is Indigo Speaking - if Indigo could speak/write!

Thursday began like any other usual day, mom and dad left for work and I occupied myself in the backyard. Pacing, sleeping, eating, sun bathing and napping. However, when they came home they seemed to be frantic (in a good way) and moving so quickly. Dad packed up the car, they put my overnight bed in the backseat and hoisted me in the car. WE WERE OFF! Hey, where are we going it is only Thursday night! I tried to look out the window, but when the freeway moves by so quickly my tummy begins to turn, so I lied down and closed my eyes. When I opened them, I had no clue where we were. We weren't heading to grandma and grandpa's, this isn't the way to doggy daycare either. We couldn't be going camping, we usually take the truck and we tow some big box like thing behind the truck. Oh I know, this looks like the way to Chavi's house, yes we are going to see Chavi and that other "dog" who kicks/stomps the ground and looks silly. Oh wait, dad, "You missed the 65 exit. You have to turn here to go to Chavi's house in Lincoln." Dad never listens, he must know another way to get there. I will stretch out and enjoy the ride. Wow, I think I was asleep for a long time, where are we? I have never been here, never ever. Okay out I go, looks like a new house to smell. This house is FULL of dog smells, and there is someone elses dog bed, water/food bowls on the ground. Mom says it is okay, so let's try out this new dog bed. It seems kinda cozy, but kinda smelly - I wonder who slept here last time! I hear mom and dad talking, we are in Lake Tahoe. Umm, I wonder if this is a good place to be! OH YES IT IS!!! We were on a long weekend in Lake Tahoe, North Shore. Let me share some of my fabulous weekend with you.

Friday morning we went on a long walk (long for me) to the Coon Street dog Park and I got to see this LAKE everyone was talking about. Lake Tahoe sure is pretty, it seems to sparkle. We stopped at a bakery called Scraps and I got to pick out some snacks. Here is the before and the during photos of me enjoying my cannelloni at the park near the lake.






After my snacks, we walked to a burger joint and mom and dad ordered lunch. We all sat outside and the cute waitress brought me my OWN bowl of water and dog treats. I think I like this place, they call Lake Tahoe!

Friday late afternoon, Cousin Kristen came up to Lake Tahoe and we all went to Yappy Hour. Yes, I got to go to Yappy Hour at the Ritz Carlton. I got this bowl of goodness, I never tasted a better cocktail. It was beef flavored water and I think I went to heaven for a short moment!! Mom and Kristen were laughing and enjoying something called a Rum River Cocktail. Part of the profit from my mocktail and the cocktails when to help the Truckee Humane Society. Dad seemed to enjoy his ice water(s) and I think he called himself the DD. However, I am not sure what a DD is.. Hope it is a good thing!
Late Friday night mom and dad's friends joined us. Saturday we all got in the cars and went to breakfast (we sat outside, so I could join them) and then we went for a long walk. Mom pushed me around and I got to see all the sights without wearing out my legs/hips! I enjoy sticking my head out the top and surprising people when they walk by the "baby" stroller. I think we could make some money in advertising, with my good looks and mom's smarts! Many people chased us down asking where we bought our fancy dog stroller. I heart my dog stroller, it lets me join mom and dad for longer walks and trips than my "senior" body would allow. The other stroller thing, has my buddy Brayden in it. If you hang out with him, he always drops his snacks and you can share with him!

This is me on our way home! I was tired! Lake Tahoe was FUN, but there was no time for my usual daily naps and you have to keep one eye open, because you never know when a sneak attack is coming from Brayden!






I must say, "I think I have a pretty cool life and I owe it all to Northern CA Weimaraner Rescue for giving me a 2nd chance and finding me a new forever home!" Thank you NCWR!!
