Mommy and Daddy had a long day planned in Seattle so they decided it would be best to take us with them and let us experience big city life. Our adventure began when we hopped on the 11am(ish) Bremerton to Seattle ferry. We’ve been on a ferry before, but not one this big, so it was exciting to stick our heads out the window and check out all the activity.
Mommy and Daddy wanted to visit the Museum of Flight and for some reason, pets aren’t allowed to see cool planes and exhibits, so we had to stay in the truck. There was a nice breeze and we had our pillows in the back so we took a nap and spent our time dreaming about our upcoming adventure. Fortunately, they weren’t gone very long - they have really short attention spans – even worse than a cat’s!
Mommy took a bunch of pictures of the planes to show us. Here’s one of Daddy messing around and pretending he was getting sucked into the engine of a 747. Twister thought that was really funny, but I wasn’t very amused. I have a weak stomach and it made me verp a little bit when I saw it.
Here are a bunch of other things that I could care less about but she thought would be “interesting”. She and Daddy clearly have a penchant for super secret squirrel go fast stuff. Did somebody say squirrel?!??!?
After the museum visit, Mommy and Daddy thought it would be best to just drive around awhile and see if there were any food places that looked yummy. I’m not sure why they have to drive around – we can smell the yummy places from blocks away. ???
Daddy finally found a parking spot near the Pike Place Market/Waterfront area. He parked the truck, Mommy gave us water, told us they’d be back soon and that they’d bring us a treat. Twister and I were debating what kind of treat they would bring us, but I quickly grew bored with his stupid suggestions so I told him to shut his dog food hole and go mash some grass. I have to put him in his place cuz he’s getting a little too big for his puppy britches and is trying to take my alpha spot. That is SOOO not happening. I heard Mommy say she would never let him have my alpha spot. HA! Take that little brother! Who sleeps on the bed with Mommy and Daddy? That’s right! It’s me and don’t you forget it!
Now, where was I? Oh…our adventure. I smelled a rabbit and followed the trail…so anyway…
While we were sleeping, Mommy and Daddy stopped at the Korean joint again and got a jumbo sampler platter of fried whole shrimp, calamari, spring rolls, teriyaki chicken and some other stuff that was difficult to identify.
Mommy ate the shrimp – Daddy was too grossed out to eat its head. I think that’s gross too. Why would anyone want to eat a shrimp's head? They also stopped at the yummy cheese place and got more of the world’s best mac n cheese and then went to Piroshky Piroshky for some, uh, piroshky. Actually, Mommy got an apple cinnamon roll and Daddy got a potato, onion, and mushroom piroshky.
They finally made it back to the truck and, just like Mommy promised, they had saved us some mac n cheese and some piroshky. Mommy said it was the best mac n cheese she ever had, and she was right! It was the best mac n cheese I’ve ever had too. Though, now that I think about it, I probably haven’t had any mac n cheese that Mommy hasn’t had. Hmmmmm…. No matter. It was barkilicious and Twist and I WOLFED IT DOWN. Ha ha ha ha! I said WOLF. Get it? Woof? Wolf? We look like wolves…we woof….ha ha hahaha.
So, after we had our mac n cheese and piroshky treats, we finally got to go on our URBAN ASSAULT. Alright, fine. It was a walk. We got to go on a walk.
Still, it was AWESOME!!! We headed over to the pier where Mommy made us pose for stupid pictures.
Twist wanted to chase the seagulls but I told him there was no way he’d be able to catch them. They can fly, stupid - we cannot. We walked around and peed a lot and everything was great until the point when Mommy dragged me onto an elevator so we could get to the Market. Twist, dummy that he is, walked right on. Helloooo!! We could die on this thing you moron! We are dogs – we are not birds – we should NOT be leaving the ground. It is a death trap and no one realizes this but me. Well, me and probably Lassie if Timmy was ever stupid enough to get on one of those things.
We FINALLY got off the wretched elevator and walked across a bridge thingy where we could see Mt. Rainier.
Mommy was oooing and aahhhing it. I really don’t see what the big deal is – it’s just a mountain. What does it do? It doesn’t give kisses, it doesn’t snuggle, it doesn’t sit, stay, speak, shake, leave it, roll over, find Daddy or any of the amazing things that WE do. (Chuff.)
Lots of people asked about us while we were assaulting the city. Fine. While we were walking the city…on our leashes…like common prisoners in chains…
Mommy wanted us to get pics taken next to Rachel the pig. WHAT?!?!? I am NOT having my picture taken next to a pig. THAT is DISGUSTING. I tried my hardest to escape, but she just kept dragging me back insisting that we stand next to this foul creature and look happy about it. Whatever. Just make it snappy so not too many people see us.
We left the market and then headed back down to the waterfront where we walked the sidewalk among the tourists and the restless natives. Locals. I think they’re called locals. We walked around for a LONG time and then Mommy and Daddy said it was time to go so we headed back to the ferry terminal for the 7:50 ride back to Bremerton. It was a super fun day. We prefer to play stick, but this was good too. So many sniffs, so many poles, not enough pee.
