TRIPPIN' PART II
We had our 24 hour trip to Long Beach; all three of us.
We survived more than nicely.
Franklin had a great time visiting Randy in his fourth floor condo in the city.
He learned to peer out floor to ceiling windows and not get giddy from the height.
There was the first sleep in a strange house and, since we forgot to bring a bed, his first night without.
He was 'on it' the whole time and that night sleep was the only sleep that he got.
We all did pretty well.
We ended up having breakfast on the beach at a café that allows dogs to sit on the patio (along with their owners) and view the ocean. I don't think Franklin was all that impressed with the beach part but he sure liked the people and the other dogs.
It was fun but the kind of fun that comes from full force attention. There was a payoff for all of us.
Franklin got stretched into a new environment and he got high quality time from his DogFather Randy. We got to work on something new and different and come out the other end with a nice family experience.
We might even do it again—after some rest.
Months?
