Wally's First Vacation

Merry secured the in-laws Sunriver house for all of us so Ali, Ryan, Merry and her Ryan, Carissa and I and the dogs Wally, Sara, Bentley, and Maui all journeyed forth to find some sun and relaxation for a few days. We loaded Wally and Bentley's crate into Merry and Ryan's truck, I could see Wally's head turning back and forth as he tried to figure out what was going on. He sniffed the air and seemed to settle in and enjoy the ride. At each stop both dog's heads would pop up and sniff.

I was so excited to spend time with everyone. I was really worried about how Wally would do with the change in rules and scenery. He surprised me though. He gave proper respect to Ali and Ryan's old girls and relentlessly pestered his playmate Bentley. He barked a little but not obsessively. He had one freakout at the river where he was just too excited to stop. We went on daily walk and runs with our hounds. Wally pulled some but i fixed it by making his leash into a halter. In the evenings we would release the dogs onto the golf course and play fetch with them. They sounded like a herd of horses thundering up and down the course.

Carissa and Sunnira had a great time together. Sunnira would wake Carissa up each day. She was so excited to have her cousin there to play with. She would clap and cheer when Rissa awoke. Too cute. All in all a successful trip.
