Happy Turkey Day!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. We took Henley home to the thriving metropolis of Douglas for Thanksgiving. We drove, of course, because Hen is too big to go under the seat on a plane. On the way down we traveled overnight and it took about 10 1/2 hours. Henley basically slept the entire way as did I. Hunter did all the driving. Henley's a great traveling pup.

Also visiting with us was our niece, Anna. Henley has not really been around young children or babies so we had no idea how he'd react. Anna loved Henley. She would giggle whenever he came close. Henley was a bit skeptical. He would skitter back whenever Anna reached out for him, but that didn't last long. Pretty soon he would walk right up to her and give her puppy kisses. For most of the trip he just did his own thing. Occasionally, he would go after one of Anna's toys, but other then that he snoozed and went for walks with Poppy.


Oh well, there was one other new experience. Henley saw his first goat. My parent's house backs up to a golf course which backs up to a farm. Welcome to South Georgia. During a stroll around the grounds on T'giving, we saw in the distance a group of white, brown and black animals. I thought at first they were dogs, but as we got closer we saw they were goats. We got pretty close before they spooked and ran back through the woods. Henley just looked on in wonder and very quietly woofted before they disappeared and then he went back to investigating the golf course smells. Nothing phases a Shiba.
