[Dailydrool] gus's first vacation

[Sfwill at aol.com]

last week i was sitting at my desk in my office and suddenly, out of  
nowhere, i decided i needed to take gus on vacation.  lol
now, you must understand, i do not miss one day of work.  ever.   if i take 
a vacation, it's to europe.  or a 4 day getaway to new  orleans.  but i'm 
not one to take a week off to sit on a beach or  "relax".  so this thought of 
taking gus on vacation came out of  nowhere.  a friend who i haven't seen 
in a few years bought an inn up in  ogunquit, maine and friends have told me 
it's a gorgeous place.  when he  bought it, he had a dog, so made it a 
pet-friendly inn.  so i called him,  made the plan and we take off tomorrow for 3 
days.  packing for gus is like  packing for a baby!  of course, i've been 
telling him since Friday that  we're going on vacation and his reaction is 
always the same, "i feel like a  treat.  gotta treat?"
i cannot wait to get there.  the property and rooms are beautiful, the  
pictures online feature the dog park he's put in complete with misters, a 
little  agility course, really great!  i plan on walking the Marginal Way, a 3 
mile  path on the ocean, which i hope gus will love.  all those beachy  
smells!  
the woman who my friend had call me said, "bring a crate if you plan on  
leaving your dog in the room alone".  i said, "no crate needed.  where  i go 
he goes.  it's his vacation!"  and she said, "ohhhhh-kay."   and i meant it.  
ogunquit has loads of outdoor places to eat, and that's  where i'll eat.  
i'm not going to sit in a restaurant or bar while he sits  in the crate in 
the room.  i'm told the town is so pet-friendly that the  stores have water 
bowls outside for them!
so we are off to make some beach memories!
susan, loving slave to gus
gus-does this place have treats?
