End of Spring/Beginning of Summer in Troy,MI

Hi guys, woofies and meowies! Long time no see! Sorry...
Just lazy I must confess. When I start something I wanna finish and I hate the idea of leaving something half done. However, I'm way behind my blogging posts and activities and I'm not properly catching up with other dear bloggers and involved in the blogosphere like I was some time ago but, I need to blog because I wanna make my book of memories so, when I'm older I can take wonderful walks down memory lane (sometimes not so wonderful...)What's more, I love writing...when I'm in the mood :):)

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who still pops in for a quick visit, leaves a comment and supports me and MPL. Thank you so much guys, you know who you are! You guys keep my blog alive, many thanks for your TLC! WOOF!

So, where did we leave off? Ok, my last post was about our time in Detroit,MI. In this post, I'll tell you about my time in Troy,MI ,which I liked much better. Mom & Dad couldn't carry on living in that hotel apartment with that horrible kitchen so, they started their search for another woof friendly hotel and were only able to find one in Troy, MI. So, we came back to Chicago for about a week to celebrate Mama's B-day and also to drop some stuff and repack to go to Troy. Mama's B-day this year fell on Memorial Day and her friend B, who graduated with her in London, came over from the Big Apple to visit with us on Memorial Day weekend. E also came all the way from STL but, no singing this time :):) Here is me and Mama on her B-day last year. We didn't take pics together this year, the weather was gloomy and cold and she was not into taking pictures this time.

We stayed at the Residence Inn in Troy for about 3 months and it had a huge green area, a backyard where I could play and run freely. The kitchen was much better than the one at the Holiday Inn in Detroit.

I also enjoyed staying out in the "porch" but, Dad had to improvise a fence by putting their largest suitcase to block the passage to the staircase so, I could be protected. I think they thought I could run away but I'd never do that.

At this hotel, there was no corridor for us( me and Dad) to do our tradition but, I was happy with so much green and many trees around me. There was a swimming pool and a gym in the common area but woofies were not allowed in those facilities. In spite of that, one day late at night Mama & Dad took me to the gym to see if I'd enjoy working out but I didn't like it so much. First, I tried the treadmill which I needed help from Dad... Pathetic! Then I moved on to the stationary bike but my arms and legs were too short to reach the handle bars and pedals(even more pathetic than the treadmill!)

I already got my driver's license so, I thought I'd give it a try at the wheel,and it'd be a good chance to practice since I was completely useless on both treadmill and bike and Troy was a quiet town. Once in a while, I'd give Mama a ride to the Sommerset Mall not far away from our hotel. In the beginning, it was not easy to drive without Daddy's help but, as time went by I learned to steer the wheel like a pro. Now I drive even better than Mom & Dad. Woof!

Even though I enjoy driving there is something that I like much better :Blogging!!!

That's it folks, that was our time in Troy. I hope you guys liked it!
