Trip to VA

I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to blog!  The weekend before last my family and I took a trip to Virginia, where our extended family live.  We went down there to see my uncle Bryan's college graduation.  Zoey and I were so excited for the car ride down; we kept both trying to stick our heads out the window and walked back and forth in the car for the first few hours.  We got stuck in quite a bit of traffic, but after 6 or so long hours, we were there.  We pulled in at my mom's parent's house, and Zoey and I hopped out of the car in excitement and ran to the door.  But, when we got to the door we were not greeted nicely; my grandma got a new dog!  Her name is Kimber and she was not friendly towards us.  She was growling and was ready to attack.  Grandma picked her up so we could come in, but once she got loose, her and Zoey began what would be a weekend-long stand-off.  

The next day, after all the humans went to the graduation, a lot of people came over for my uncle Bryan's graduation party.  There were so many people and so much food!  We (Zoey and I) enjoyed walking around the backyard looking for chips and other goodies that people accidentally dropped.  The real excitement of the party, however, was with Zoey and Kimber.  They peacefully coexisted for a while outside, but then Kimber began barking and messing with Zoey.  Zoey decided it was time to show her who's boss, so Zoey bit her, right in the butt!  Grandma saved Kimber, and she didn't get hurt or anything, but it gave her a little scare.  The two had to stay separated the rest of the weekend.  

The best part about this weekend was hanging out with my doggie uncle's, Ed and Frank.  Zoey and I hung out there for many hours, following Ed and Frank around in their backyard, exploring and rolling in whatever stinky stuff we could find.  As usual, I tried to hump Ed when I got the chance (which he does not like).   It was so nice to just be able to run around and play outside for hours.  Zoey had fun too.  My dad's parents have a pool, and my parents put me and Zoey in for a swim.  We were not feeling it though, and did not stay in long.   

We were pretty worn out after the trip back home.  The next day I woke up not feeling well - I didn't feel like getting out of bed or eating or anything.  My mom took my temperature and it was 103.2, yikes!  Of course this made her freak out, so by the end of the day, I was at the vet for a check-up.  They said everything was fine, and I was back to normal once I rested up for another day.  I was just so exhausted from the trip!
