Day 16 –  Hanging in WI

Today was a VERY special day.   We got up early and went with Dad in the Jeep.  He said he had something very special planned for us!  I’m not sure why Mom wasn’t with us.  I’m pretty sure she got lost somewhere.  She was nowhere in sight and neither was her hot little red car.  I was VERY concerned even though Dad seemed to think everything was alright.

Well… we pulled into the parking lot of this store that had a cat and a dog cartoon character on the front.  Dad said “You kids have been SO good the past 2 weeks that we are going to buy you a SPA day!”.  I had no clue what that was but he was excited which told me it had to be awesome!!!  I was still worried about Mom but Dad made this sound so good that I thought I’d go along with his plan.

Turns out a SPA day is where you get to have a bath, get brushed and tickled A LOT and get your nails done!!!  Even Eli got to get his nails done!!!  You also get your ears cleaned.  Maybe now Lililoo will start to LISTEN?!  (probably not)  It was the most fun we’ve had in a long time.  Jennifer was really nice to us and they gave us treats whenever we asked (which was quite often).  When we were done, even LILILOO smelled good!  Who woulda thunk???

Next Dad picked us up and we went for a ride and guess what?  WE FOUND MOM!!!  She was at this place Dad called “our new house”.  I don’t know what that means but at least Mom was found!

We stayed there while some men were digging up the ground and laying down wire and posting white flags.  We have those flags at home in California and I know well enough to STAY AWAY from those flags.  They beep and if you ignore the beep they BITE YOU! 

Next we went with Mom in the Jeep to see the doctor.  She fooled us into thinking we were going somewhere fun which I did not find very amusing.  The vet was nice until she stuck us all with a pricker thing!  Something about keeping us from getting sick from ticks.  I think that’s all a lie – I’m WAY bigger than a tick and could eat it easy without getting sick.  Oh… the vet said that I was the best one – REALLY she DID!

After that we went back to that “new house” place.  Dad was still there but the digger guys were gone.  There was another man there.  He had a piece of paper.  Something about “covenants” and them saying you can only have 2 dogs.  Mom and Dad sounded appalled!  Then the guy said be quiet and don’t worry, there are other people with 3 dogs.  Wow – for a minute I thought we were all going to get ARRESTED! 

Then, our worst fears were realized.  We got in the Jeep and drove to this big building and then got into another HUGE car with no windows in the back.  It had a metal grate between the front seat and the back.  WE WERE GOING TO JAIL FOR SURE!!!  We drove to this place called Milwaukee.  Mom and Dad went inside and came out with a huge box.  They put it in the jail cell with us and we drove away.

Finally we got to get out of jail and got back in the Jeep.  We went to the hotel, ate, RESTED, got in the Jeep while Mom and Dad ate, back to the hotel then to sleep.  Same ol’ same ol’.

Arrested and jailed
