Tripping OUT

We here in GooberStan are all trippin'... in the best way possible. We're getting ready to trip way out in a couple of weeks to...

NEW YORK CITY!

That's right. In just two weeks my girl and I will be road-tripping our way out to NYC to visit my lovepup, Asta, and her mommi & daddi! (THAT is where we're going to celebrate my birthday.)

WoOOooHoOOOoo!

My girl wanted to do something special to celebrate her graduation, and she's been promising me a trip to New York, so we're combining the two into our Roadtrip of Triumph!




We are STINKIN' excited! On the way out we're stopping to stay with Scruffy, Lacie & BabyStan in Pittsburgh, and we might even get to meet our buddy Sherman while we're there!

Asta and I will rendezvous with our diva friend, Sophie La Brador, who is also going to NYC with her mama. From there, we hope to take a couple of daytrips. We're going to go hiking with Maggie & Mitch in Connecticut, meeting Agatha & Archie (and any other pup friends we can) in Boston, and maybe even heading to Delaware to visit my favorite Corgador, Wally, and his peppy sheppy siblings!

I can hardly contain my goober essence ~ I'm all wiggly with anticipation!




What of my goobette sissy, Stella, you ask?

As much as we'd LOVE to take her with us, my girl said this roadtrip is going to be some one-on-one goober time for the two of us. So, we have made arrangements for Stella to stay with her honorary brother and my friend, Hercules the Aireboy! She says she's treated like a princess at his house. (As if she's not here.)

While my girl and I are finalizing everything for our roadtrip, Stella also wanted to prepare for her stay at Casa de Hercules. She was ready to get her summer airecut!

Here she is "in process." All she asked was that she got a seat with a view while she had to endure the indignities of grooming. (Doesn't her head look freakishly large in this photo?)

She doesn't look too happy right here, but as soon as she was done, she ran around like a maniac so she could feel the breeze against her skin.

After seeing Stella maintain this sad, pathetic look for several minutes, my girl decided to do Stella's head and furninshings another day.

This pile is just the fuzz from her body and fuzz butt. Can you believe she carried all of this around?

From this angle we think she looks like a bare-booty biker chic who is wearing fuzzy chaps. We've since trimmed her chaps down to a more manageable level, and her head and face look more normal too.

We aren't leaving until the 17th, and we'll be on the road for a little over 2 weeks. Don't worry, though. We'll definitely be blogging from the road. And Merv? Well, let's just say he's looking forward to some much-needed solitude here in GooberStan!

Goober love,

Stanley
