Trip Photographs

Below are pictures from our trip. We had a fun but we are glad to be home. We met old friends Clyde and Hans. Clyde is around four years old. We stayed several days in Cincinnati, it was funny to see him dance and jump with joy when Deacon and I exited the car. Hans is seven years old that lives next door to Dad's parents. He was the first Collie I ever met in Ohio, he has a detached retina. That doesn't slow him down and stop him from playing.

There were new paw pals during this visit too. We spent plenty of time playing in the back yard of Cassi (two years old) and Hattie (eight years old). We had fun romping and playing in their yard. They told us about funny white stuff called snow and introduced Deacon to his first squirrel. Lady is a petite collie (three years old and 45 lbs); she visited us only on Five Collie Sunday. We stayed with Daisy Mae's family in Georgia for two days on our way back to the Keys. She is a female Golden Retriever that weighs around 50 lbs and is only a year old.

Essex appreciated everyone wishing her a Happy Barkday on 13 October.
