We Moved

Hi, I'm Honey.

I've recently moved from Long Island, New York where sometimes we had perfect weather and sometimes we had that cold stuff falling from the sky, my humans (mom and dad to me) call it snow. They were like Honey, want to go out in the snow? Well yes and no. It was fun but when I walk I kind of move a little from side to side, and my ears flop a bit, it's easy for me to lose balance and slip. And it's harder to smell under the snow. I always liked New York better when it was warm and if I needed a cool spot I was a master at finding it, a tiled floor, shade under a tree and that thing mom and dad call air conditioning, I like that!

Life was good in New York. I met all kinds of dogs in the neighborhood and I'm going to miss a few. There were mostly nice ones, but you know there's always one in the neighborhood, thinks he or she is the main dog, who cares I say, don't worry, take a nap. There were lots of little cuties too, but to be honest, I'm kind of mellow and some of those little dogs, you know the ones that yap a lot but never really have anything to say, they drove me a little crazy. I would be like, chill, take a nap. But they always went on and on about something.

So now I'm a Floridian. Look at me knowing that. My humans, mom and dad, are still just a little weird about the New York to Florida move. Humans? They can be confusing. They so wanted to move but now talk about differences from New York to Florida. I give them that look, like come on guys, what's the big deal, are you happy, do you have a good place to nap? What else do you need. I am blessed though, my humans are great people, we've pretty much gotten through the language difference but once in a blue moon we do have a little miscommunication, mostly their fault, but otherwise we understand each other.

Florida has been great. Lots of new smells, that's my thing. I know, I know, we're second to bloodhounds, but that doesn't mean I'm not really good at it or that I don't enjoy it, because I do. And I'm getting use to my new digs, even though there's been work going on and my humans are getting all excited over something being finished or done. What's the big deal, again, take a nap! But as busy as they are, they can't help but give me their attention, I'm really cute, you can't ignore me.

So life in Florida. I can nap inside, outside, pool side, I can nap at sunrise or sunset. All winter long I'll have all those different nap options, what a life!!! And there's always the couch. Even when not napping the couch seems to be something that both my humans and I have in common.

Another great thing about moving, you tend to gets lots of company. I guess everyone wants to make sure that I'm happy, that my naps haven't been interrupted and I'm still growing up happy and peppy. Yes I'm peppy, I just don't need to prove that to anyone, not a show off, just a happy dog, napping, eating, smelling and taking care of my business with my humans picking up after me. I wonder what they're saving that for? Must be special. I know who I am and what I think of myself and what's important. Do you think it's possible to teach humans that? I mean the nap thing seems to be catching on...maybe we can teach them more tricks? I think humans dream too. I wonder what they dream of?



In any case I'm loving life in Florida,

So glad to make you smile!!! Honey does the same for me when I see her picture, even though we haven't met (as yet). I look at her picture and know how much you love her and that makes me happy!
