As you know by now, I just LOVE riding in the car! So I am very happy to report that Human Mom has taken me on many car trips. Last weekend, we drove to Delaware and I have made three trips to Medford, NJ from my temporary home in North Jersey. That's me in the crate on the right. Once we arrive, I hang out in my crate, complete with cushion, water bucket toys and go on walk. What fun!
Human Mom is busy hunt training one of her Shorthairs and on weekends they go to field trials, thus all the traveling. On one trip, I got to see some pigeons and I thought that was cool. No one has ever trained me for hunting, but with work and patience, who knows?
At these field trials, there are lots of horses, as well as dogs and humans. I think horses look like large dogs. I even tried to sniff one's rear, but was told not to do that! Whatever, I am fine with horses. I have also met a lot of nice people. I love being petted and fed treats.
Dinner time has come. A highlight of my day. Then, more TV time. Life is fine, but I am still hoping for my own family. Maybe there is a truck driver who wants a pal? A girl can dream, right?

THE CASE OF THE LOST MICROCHIP
My temporary human mom is still trying to get my paperwork in order. She was puzzled because my previous owners could not find my microchip! Where had it gone? Human Mom has known me all my life and she knew I had one. So, off we went to the vet. The scanner could not find it. The nice vet then took a quick x-ray and it was found on the right side of my neck!
So why didn't the scanner find it? Apparently the metal in the collar or tags was blocking the signal. When the collar is removed, the scanner finds it right away! Mystery solved.
I behaved well at the vet's. I was nervous but cooperative. In the main room, a pack of kids walked in and I was fed many treats. I showed off all my tricks: I sat, waved (with either paw), I jumped up and lay down. My tail did not quite wag, because I was at the vet's - not any dog's favorite place, but I loved all the attention! But Human Mom was proud and said I have my father's sweet disposition. She owns my father, you know, and my grandmother, too.
Like my dad, I greet people by going up to them, turning and leaning! BTW, I weigh about 52 lbs. That's all for now. I went on a nice car ride today. Human Mom has cozy crates for every dog and I snooze away as she drives to various places.
I have just had a nice run in the yard. It is time for dinner and then we all sleep in front of the TV. Honestly, I am not sure Human Mom ever sees a thing - she is usually asleep, too! I will post more in a few days!
