A fun day at a National Historic Site

Thomas and me

We attended the 175th anniversary of the Ft. Scott National Historic Site in Ft Scott, KS. I'd been once here before but this was the first time I saw soldiers in uniforms. Mom said that's the way they used to dress back when the fort was new.

I also met some women in long dresses. They were all very friendly and they loved talking about how life used to be. They were called "re-enactors."




I had my picture taken with several. Later we watched soldiers shooting guns and a great big gun called a cannon. I didn't like that part because it was so loud. However, I got to say "hi" to lots of people - especially the kids.

It was a good day except it was hot. I panted hard and couldn't wait to get back to the car and my water bowl. I know one thing - I'm glad I don't have to wear all those hot clothes.

I like hotels that like me

in St. Robert, MO

It's hard to believe that not all hotels want me, but that's the way it is. When we travel, we usually stay at La Quinta Inns & Suites because I am always welcome there.

In the past year we've stayed several times at the Baymont in Pulaski County, MO. Sena, who works there, gives me more treats than I've ever received from anyone else. As you can guess, she's one of my favorite people in the whole wide world! Everyone else is friendly but she's exceptional.

This summer I stayed at two new hotels - at least new to me. In Fort Smith, AR, we stayed at the Hampton Inn. They really know how to treat dogs. They even gave me my own box of goodies. When I left, I had my picture taken with the manager and she invited me back anytime. I hope we go back soon.

Last week, we stayed at the Candlewood Suites in St. Robert, MO. They are dog-friendly and gave me a bag of treats when we arrived. I didn't spend time with any of the staff but they must be nice because I saw lots of smiles.

All of them have comfy beds. My idea of a comfy bed is good covers and a good mattress. The best part is settling in next to Mom and Dad.

I wonder why some hotels don't want me as a guest. I'm very, very good when we travel.
