Then we went to Mom's human puppy place. Mom and Dad emptied out the back of the car and took stuff up to her place. Then they brought me back to the dog hotel and I stayed there alone for a little while. I didn't like that and I barked a few times, but I just cuddled up in my bed. Mom and Dad came back.
The next day was pretty much the same. Strange smells. I didn't find any snakes this time. We all settled down at night. The lights were turned off in this place, and no space ships came by.
What??? WHAT IS THAT???? A loud, loud, loud noise! IT's horrible!!! Mom!!! I'm scared! Dad got dressed and went outside. OH, no! It's the aliens again! This time is worse! The noise won't stop. Mom is dressed, too and looking outside. Are they there, Mom? Are they going to get us?? I'm shaking all over and inside and out. Mom is talking to someone outside of the room. Flashing lights!!! Stomping!!!
Then it stopped. The awful sound stopped. Dad came back. The space attack was over, but I slept in the bed with Mom the rest of the night.
I was really glad when we piled into the car again and went home. I was so happy to get home I ran into the bedroom, jumped on the bed and shouted, "Home, home, home!!!!" Yay!
We drove out to Ohio to visit my daughter before the winter weather sets in. We stayed at a different dog friendly hotel this time. All was going fine, until 3am Sunday morning. All of a sudden the fire alarms went off in the whole place. It was deafening. It was also pretty cold outside, and with Harry already shaking in fear, I stayed in waiting for word of what was going on. It took almost twenty minutes for the fire department to show up, all the while the alarms were blasting. Poor Harry was a puddle of trembles. Then I heard the firemen stomping around upstairs and finally, at long last, the alarm was turned off. Apparently there was a short in the system and no actual fire. Geez.
Harry was so thrilled to arrive back home that he stood on the bed with his tail up and wagging and his head looking up to the ceiling and he barked for joy! I don't think we will be making that trip again for some time. It would be nice to be able to sleep through the night for a change.
