Here we are in Atlantic City...sans puppy.We left him for the day at a "pet hotel" that looked GREAT on line, and sounded quite normal on the phone when I booked the day. It turns out it was run by complete wackos. They all appeared to be out of the movie, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane. But of course we just hoped he would forgive us and left him there because we really wanted to gamble and have a nice dinner.;)It was all worth it in the end because I walked away with $8.00!!
Burt did a little better.
Ollie loves hotels! He doesn't necessarily love having his photo taken. He looks kind of embarrassed.
We visited Burt's boyhood home , schools, pool he belonged to, and even drove the very same path of his old his old paper route. =) It's fun to go back to ones old stomping grounds. Providing things have not changed too drastically.

You're such a cute little trio. Glad you had a nice time and that you were able to leave the "almost real boy" in daycare to have some time to yourselves :-)
Yes, although it was difficult to leave him there. Even Ollie seemed to be aware this was not a normal place. The first tip off came when we noticed that the small dogs were walking around in diapers.Then.. when the owner said to call 1/2 hr. before coming to pick him up because he had tickets to see Ringo Star.So he would have "Baby Jane" meet us there to release our dog.They said that since Ollie was a "nice dog", he didn't have to go in a pen, he could stay out in the store front with the small dogs in diapers. Proof that ex- New Yorkers should not open a pet hotel in Atlantic City.
I think doggie diapers is a fantastic idea! You should have picked up one for Ollie and left him in the hotel! :-)
Did you know that dogs have pride???? btw, my yearning for a pet monkey is over. This morning I read about a couple that had a monkey for 10 years and suddenly one day it went berserk and ripped the woman's arms and legs open.It just doesn't seem worth it.
maybe if you'd put on the diaper, dressed him up and told the people at the casino that he "is a real boy" you could've brought him along :)
Actually, given the clientele, we seriously thought of that. Not the diaper, but some shorts, a t-shirt and some sunglasses. We thought he may have blended.
Thanks for having pics of Morris Plains and Morristown High (go Colonials!).
