“Boomer!” Mom called. “Come here, Boomie, Let’s go for a ride.”
With that Mom picked me up and put in the back of Dad’s BIG PICK-UP!
That means we are going on a LONG, wonderful ride!
I scooted over to the big rug Mom put down just for me to sit on and gave a happy wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooo!
Then we were off!
Way, way off….first it was so hot I thought I would pant myself to death, then we were
There!
In the mountains where the air was cool and the smells were new.
Dad stopped and Mom and I got out and walked here and there and everywhere. I sniffed and sniffed and sniffed.
Lots of mice. Even lotser more chipmunks, no squirrels but big fat Whistle Pigs that Whistled at me than ran off.
Lots and lots and lots of peopley smells. I snuffed on by those I can get peopley smells; creatures of the forest I can’t get.
Then it was time to head on home. We stopped at a fruit stand where I met LUCY. Lucy was a big, sweet, kind dog. We got along really well.
Back in the pick-up and we headed home…it got hotter and hotter.
Whew!
I was glad to get home.
Ahhhhhhhhh. Inside where the sleeping is good.

Boomer, Do you need some kind of rope, tether, restraint, etc., so you won’t forget and jump out to chase something?

In the beginning I had one, but now that I’m very very old, I don’t. I spend most of my time on the carpet, but every so often I LOVE to stick my nose over the side. Thank you so much for thinking of me. You are kind.

It is good! But the ride was way long, so Mom says that is probably my last big ride ever. Which works for me. Boomer

Boomer, it sounds as if you had a wonderful ride to the mountains with Mom and Dad. But I’m sure you deserved that nap when you got back since you had so many smells to check out.

Yes. I was way tired. Mom said I can go on short rides, but the long ones we will leave for some other time. Boomer
