Our Trip to Show Low...
Well you guys can see that the car ride was pretty nice and we did behave for about 10 minutes...
But then the sun started to set and we had to look out at all the cool trees that we don't have in the desert. The house is in a town called Show Low, about 3 hours North East of Phoenix.
When we got there I was pretty shocked to find out it was in the 40's!! OMDOG!
Thank goodness Mom brought me a sweatshirt and Gram had lots of cozy blankets. I know 40 degrees does not seem cold to you guys but it has been in the 100's at our house lately so I have very little fur left.
Tanner thought he'd just warm up with a Heineken. Mom said, No Way buddy!
The next morning the sun was shining so we headed outside...
I had to leave some pee-mail!
A couple of years ago a huge fire devastated this area. Over 100 houses in the neighborhood burned and a ton of trees were burned as well. We were fortunate that our Grandparent's house did not burn, but they lost some trees.
We sniffed them out and hoped that something like that never happened again.
Tanner really liked running in the weeds.
It was really pretty and we were excited to see more green growing as it was totally barren before because of the fire.
There was a cool dump truck behind the house too, but Dad wouldn't let me drive it.
I was very good at climbing, I am quite nimble for my age.
We hung out on the porch a lot, it was fun to smell all the different smells in the air.
Even when we were inside, I was really busy watching for wild animals!
Tanner spent a lot of time with his new corn...
But he helped with guard duty some of the time.
BUT guard duty had to end because the Yankees were on!! You can see that the house in the mountains is definitely not a place where you have to 'rough it'. LOL! I wondered what Dad was doing while I was watching the tv...
I was shocked when we got home and I started to look at the pictures...
I saw this...that is MY DAD giving a treat to a dog that is NOT ME...
GET OUT INTERLOPER!! omdog!!
OMDOG another one! (she kind of looks like my friend Suzy! )
Apparently these are the neighbors dogs and they are 12 years old. Also, they apparently have not been socialized much so we were not allowed to play with them. WTF but they can eat our cookies???? So this is what happens when I take a few hours off of guard duty to watch baseball!
We got a nice walk in before it stormed, look how dark it was getting. Seriously, storms in the mountains are 50 bajillion times louder than they are at my house, it was NOT cool. BUT other than the fact that my Dad was giving out cookies to uncivilized dogs and the thunder was louder than anything in the world, it was a great trip.
Here are a couple of short movies of us in Show Low!
Tanner has some stuff to post about his time up north, of course he didn't behave...but we'll let him talk about that tomorrow...

I bet Tanner didn't get cold with all his, um - fur ...

Oh Joe! I like Show Low. The weather there is very much to my liking. We have some friends with houses up there, so we went up in summers when we lived in Azrizona.
There are lots more people there than there were when Muzzer and Dad moved to Azrizona. But I tell muzzer that there are more hoomans everywhere, so she should not worry.

That's a big difference in temps for three hours. But it sure looks like you all had some good times.
Those neighbr pups look pretty sweet - too bad you couldn't meet them.
Woos, the OP Pack
My dog, Joey...you're lucky ya didn't freeze to death in those mountains...forty degrees??? And you being sorta furless????!!! I certainly coulda stopped by for a snuggle!!
Hey when is your mom's barkday? Mumsie's was May 29th...we're figurin' that yours is around that time too...tell her Happy Barkday from us, Kay???!!!
Is there a reason you use Tanner for a step stool in ur car?????? We can't believe that he lets ya stand on him...you Mom looked kinda squished in that seat with you guys on top of her...
We saw a BT at daycare who had a butt the size of Kansas...he was part of the BT substantial dog's club...hoooooge...I asked him for his number...
Barkin' at ya sweet dogs...

It's looks pretty nice there, but that one dog's head is too small for his body ... or maybe he just has too much fur. You better watch out Joey. They make them dogs weird down there.
Did you see my Iggy Pop post? Why didn't you tell me you were in Montreal for a film shoot?
Hi, Joey!
I know 40 degrees is cold for you... and for me too!
Glad you had your sweatshirt and the blankies!
Your Dad gave them your treats and you could not say hello to them?? Hmmm...
Nice pee-video!
Kisses and hugs

It was great that your parents took you along, but I'm a little mad at your dad for giving your treats away to strangers. Grrr.

Cold storms and dad giving out cookies to other dogs. Dude that doesn't sound like a great trip to me
Hey, that looked like a fun trip!! It must have been a nice break to see some trees and feel the cooler weather. Thanks for showing us this place (I've never heard of it).
Teddy
Looked to me like a nice place to celebrate birthdays and such! I hope Dula Mae, once she got over the weight of you dogs, had a nice birthday.

Hi guys,
Your dad is nice to give treats to the neighbour's doggies.. (though he really should have gotten your permission first!)..
Wow.. 40 degrees sounds pretty cold to me!! Didn't you bring along your hoodie?

Your trip to Show Low looks really cool, Mum likes the pretty sky shot.

Hi Joey and Tanner,
Now thats what I call a trip. It looks so nice and cool there. It is so hot here but I got my summer haircute and feel so much better.
I missed you so much while my computer was sick. I'll be back soon to catchup on what we missed in the last 3 weeks.
{{{huggies}}}....Mona
Besides the interloper and the terrible thunder, this looks like the best vacation ever!!
What a cool place to visit! Our pawrents used to live in Phoenix and Mesa and everytime they went up North, they froze! Glad you all had a good time, despite the neighbor dogs and thunder!
Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
I like your cute sweatshirt!

Pumpkin
40 degrees is coooold to me too! Thank Dog for that totally cute sweatshirt!
Show Low looks pretty awesome! Can't wait to hear about Tanner's mischief....
Hi Guys
We didn't know you were back - looks like a great trip with lots of great photos. Just what we like!
Believe me you guys need to come to Scotland to toughen up a bit weather wise!
It looked like your long journey was like ours to Skye - poor mom had to be in the back too.....
Welcome home
love
Martha & Bailey xx
F-f-forty is f-f-f-f-freezing!
Those were some BIG HAIRY dogs. We would have barked them out of town.

Two things. Pink is fine. I've had to sport pink ever since we made the switch from retractable leashes to regular leashes. I've heard rumor that there is a more masculine (?) leash waiting for me... but until I get over my belly problem (yep, it's me this time) I haven't been allowed to go crazy with my pressies.
Second. 40 degrees!? We feel for you guys. We're glad you had blankies and sweatshirts and tolerance. It DOES feel good to hike when it's like that! But nap on the deck? No way!
(Do you miss it now that you're back in the heat?)

Show Low looks like a fun place to hang out, and it's a fun name to say, too! So did the Yankees win for you?
Someone needed to guard the beer. Beautiful area. Our uncle used to live in Flagstaff and we have visited there a few times. What an adventure!

Oh My DOG! That's so much in so widdle time! I would have been totally exhausted! My momster also gives cookies to strange dogs...
What a trip. Sahme about the beer. Was very interesting to see Show Low, how sad about the fire burning down the houses and the trees. Thank dog you were there to give the land a good watering,help the greenery on the way.

So... how come your dad wouldn't let you drive that dump truck? Did you leave your license at home or something?
Play bows,
