WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SAM?

Yeah, Buffie got hear and we got along really well. We had a very busy time and Muffie and I got to go along with everyone, sometimes.

Gary, Janet and Muffie

How do you like the looks of that dinner? I thought Muffie was going to eat Janet's lobster. This was the dinner just before they left so let me back up and tell you about our week.

We started our week with a trip to The Portland Light House (my favorite running place). It was Muffie's first time to run off lease and she did great. We had such a great time and as usual Mom took more pictures. How many does she need of that Light House?

On Tuesday Janet, Muffie's Mom, Mom and myself went to Two Lights State Park. The coast line was really rugged and Mufffie and I got to climb on the rocks with our mom's. We had fun walking the trails, but we had to be on a lease since the trails sometimes were high with deep drop offs.

When we left the park we took a ride to Higgins Beach but we were not allowed to get out and run. Too many people I guess. Then came our treat! On the way back to the camp site we stopped at, you guessed, MC DONALD'S! The Mom's got diet coke, yuk, but Muffie and I got ICE CREAM!

Wednesday rolled around and Muffie and I got left at home. We didn't get to take a ferry ride to Peaks Island. They had a great lunch at Peaks Island House while sitting on the deck overlooking Casco Bay. Mom took more pictures which you can see in her attachment.

Thursday they went shopping in Freeport where LL Bean has there flagship store. That is some big boot! There were a lot of stores like Coach, Dooney & Bourke (Janet had a bag from there), Polo,Talbots (Mom got a couple of tops) Brooks Brothers, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream....

Ben and Jerry's? And I didn't get to go? All was not lost because that evening we had a camp fire and Muffie and I got to be there.

Friday they were off to Kennybunkport and left us alone again. I think they were visiting the Bush's, well maybe not. That brings us to Saturday and that wonderful dinner. I got to go to Muffie's RV camp ground for the day. There was no room at ours for them so they stayed at one close by. They had to head out on Sunday morning, life will be quiet without them!

We only have a week left before we head out to NY. I'll report in with more pictures. I guess Mom and Dad are going to visit Niagara Falls. Hope everyone is well. See you soon, Sam and Family

Well look at this. What a pretty little cove called, Diamond Cove, on Great Diamond Island. No Mom didn't take me with her on this outing. She went with her friend, Pat and Pat's two daughters. They took a ferry to Great Diamond Island with a couple of stops on the way. The ferry ride only took 40 minutes with great views of Casco Bay Islands. Their is even a fort in the middle of the bay. They had lunch at Diamond Inn on the deck overlooking Diamond Cove. Can you believe she ate all her Salmon and din't bring me a doggie bag.

Back at the RV Dad and I had to rough it without at car. Bummer. Usually when Mom leaves with friends she leaves us the car and Dad and I go to McDonald's for a hamburger, but today she drove. Just before she left Great Diamond Island the skies opened up with a torrential downpour that included pea size hail. We had the same storm come through the camp. By the time Mom got back to port the rain had stopped. Dad and I would have worried if we weren't napping. That's what you're supposed to do in a rain storm, right?

Next Tues. we have good friends from Indiana coming to visit for a week and guess what, they have a friend for me, Muffie. I hope she can run off lease so we can go back to the light house. Mom took more pictures while on her outing so hope you enjoy the slide show. I'll be back to tell you all about Muffie and my adventures. Sam signing out

       

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SAM?

My goodness time flies when you're having fun. We have been in Maine over a month now and so love this area. This summer has had more rain than last year, but when you are a LAB and love the water (in any source) it is okay. Mom and Dad still have found time to go golfing once a week. Can you believe they won't take me? I love riding in a golf cart and chasing balls! 

Attached is an album with miscellaneous pictures, starting with me at the beach. I swim at the camp grounds more than the beach because Dad says it is too sandy and makes a mess in the car. Then there are pictures of the trail at the Portland Head Lighthouse where I get to run off lease on the trails. Yippee I sure love that! The picture up top is taken there. As we near home I start getting excited because we drive through McDonald's so Mom can get her diet coke and I get a hamburger patty. Life is Good!

Every morning I get to take a walk with Mom or Dad. The other morning there was sea fog so Mom took a picture of the Duck Pond. That is on the album. It turned out pretty cool. You should see all the baby ducks. I have been so good but the other morning I couldn't resist and tried to chase them. Dad held on tight and my plans were foiled. (He's no fun.)

Mom went to a Victorian Mansion also known as the Morse-Libby House located in down town Portland. It was built between 1858 and 1860 with 90 % of the contents being original. She went with her friend from the RV Park who is also from Florida. After the tour they went for lunch on the bay where they visited The Black Dog. This is a store where everything in the store was Black Labs! Mom came home with tee shirts for she and Dad and a peanut butter cookie for me. (I like Pet Smart treats better but don't tell Mom. She tried.)

Mom went for lunch the other day on an Island but that's another blog. I'll be back soon, promise.  Sam
