Noodles Last Road Trip

Shortly before Noodles passed away, we drove to PDX to bring Janet home.  While Phil thrives on housework and garden work, he felt she need to get her neglectful ass home.  Enough with the puppy sitting and pedicures!

Watson tried really hard to be our buddy.  I was lukewarm to being pals with Mr. Incredibly Cute and Adorable Jackass, but now that it's just he and I, I am thinking I best make a go of it.  Noodles, however, was having no part of it!  It didn't matter what Watson went to play with, Noodles with her crickety, glacially paced walk hustled her really old butt over to the item in question and let him know she needed it.  And, for good measure, tossed in some growls!

He did a little psycho doggie routine when we first arrived, jumping and bouncing around on furniture he is not normally allowed to touch.

I had to engage with him a little, as it would be rude to not to do so.

Bronwyn took us on a doggie trifecta walk.

One of Watson's favourite things to do is take all his toys from the kitchen floor and drop them down the stairs to the landing.  What a goldmine!

I let him know who was running the show!

Please, oh please, Pashy.  Couldn't I have just one of my own toys?

We kind of became buddies as the visit went on.

Check this out.

Even his stupid back feet sleep in an adorable position.  He is killing us!

Before we knew it, we packed up and went back to Camp Canada.  Watson wanted to get in the car with us, but he needs to be somewhat cautious.  Camp Canada is code speak for the place your dog goes to "visit" and never gets returned to it's rightful owner.  I, Pashy, bark from personal experience!

Noodles was clearly off her game as she let Watson sit beside her.

Pre-ferry Dungeness Crab Fried Rice at the Thai Restaurant near the ferry terminal.

Delicious!

Beautiful night for a ferry ride.

More kindness for the loss of Noodles.

Beautiful flowers from Briana and Ted.

Cards from Meg and Derek, the Vet and Janet's friend Katherine.

That's all for today.  Say goodnight, Watson!
