Mom's going far far away...

Remember a while back when I said mom was leaving me with dad cause she had to go out on a trip? Well, the time is almost here! Mom and Aunt Temple are leaving EARLY Sunday for Collar-ado!

After they spend some time with Granny for Mom's Day on Saturday, they are flying out, first stop is Fee-nix to change planes, then on to Denver...I've made a drawing of it for you:

See, mom is going to be all the way over there, and Anna is going to be all the way over here! Boo! And she won't be here for mom's day! So I guess that means no pressies for her!

Once mom and Aunt Temple get done in Denver with mom's conference, they're going up to Estes Park, Collar-ado to go to the Rocky Mountain National Park to go hiking. I asked mom if Aunt Temple will need to borrow my backpack, but she said she's fine.

While up there, they're staying at the HAUNTED Stanley Hotel, the basis of some movie called the Shining?



And they're staying on Friday the 13th! Mom and Aunt T sure are crayzee!


Mom is making all sort of notes and things for dad...so he knows how much noms to feed us and when and who gets what pills when and stuff. Very important nom information. So after Friday I won't be around for a bit, cause mom is taking the technologies with her.

  4. We hope your mom has a great trip! And, hopefully, if your dad is anything like mine, you'll get away with doing some stuff that mom doesn't let you do! BOL!

  5. Oh Anna, you sooooo need to go with her! I think your mom and Aunt Temple be up to no goods with the hauntings and all and if'n they get lost hiking, who is going to gib them comforts like only a German shepherd can? But, well, you would need to fly in that airoplane thingie and that would be too skeery and why, I ask, duss it go all the way to Feenix and then backtrack, makes no sense in my brane at all! So yup, stay home and give your dad the shepherd comforts instead. And if'n he messes up your noms, you set him strate, k? Even if'n he dussn't mess them up, make him THINK he did and you can get more, BOL! We sends wishes fur your mom to has a safe trip!

  8. I will miss you Anna. I don't think it is right fur your mom to be gone on Mom's day. BUTT... since she will be... I'm thinkin YOU should get the Pressie INSTEAD.

    Now... tell your mom to make a COPY of the Dad Instructions... beclaws you KNOW how Dads can be about not finding stuffs and such.

  11. I hope your mom has a great trip, but I bet it would be even better if she had you to keep her company! We stayed in the most haunted place in the United States last weekend and the ghosts pretty much left us alone.

  12. Your Mom sounds just like ours - she writes a whole book of stuff for Dad:) Too bad she isn't connecting through KC, Mom would have gone to the airport to say hi to her.

  13. I am currently writing an "instruction book" for Chester and Gretel to leave with the dog-sitter while we are on vacation to Banff National Park this weekend. I am sure you are just as bummed as Chester and Gretel are that you won't get to hike with your mom.

  16. I hope your mom has a safe and great trip, it seems she is going to travel really far away from home. Stay with your dad and give him loads of licks, I bet he will be very generous with treats too.
    Have fun and take good care of your dad!

  19. Anna - We just think that is SOOOO not right that your Mom would go to the mountains and hike without YOU! Totally not fair. She could totally DRIVE there. Serves her right that she won't get any Mother's Day presents, eh?

    Maybe you can convince your Dad to give you extra treats to make up for this :)

  21. Oh my goodness, Anna! The Stanley Hotel scares the bajeezus out of me! I'm hoping for a post about that, too. Good luck with Dad. I know being left with The Dad can be dodgy at best... ;)

  22. Can't wait to hear her tales from the haunted Stanley Hotel on Friday the 13th! (Wait, today is Friday the 13th! We like to think of it as a good luck day!) Hope she back soon, and I'm sure it will be lots of hugs and kisses!
