OK, maybe just count on the former of those two. “Better than ever” is a lot to live up to.
I’m back from vacation! There’s a lot of catching up to do – I’ve got backlogged blog posts to work on, new posts to finish and get posted, and many of your blogs to visit. I’ve started the process – I’m sure some of you have seen my comments starting here or on your own blogs – but I’m still catching up. So if I haven’t dropped by your place or responded to a comment on here yet, hopefully I’ll be by soon!
Travels with Choppy 
You sure look happy Choppy. Glad to see ya’ll back. đŸ™‚

Welcome back Sarah, it’s been good to have all the posts while you’ve been away to enjoy. I look forward to commenting again on Howlidays!

I’m glad you enjoyed them while I was away – I didn’t want anyone not to have their daily dose of Choppy and Schooner, even if I was somewhere without Internet.

So glad you are back, Sarah….good thing you were so organized to leave so many photos for us all to enjoy. Really missed leaving comments & very much missed reading what everyone else commented & then your comments.

There were a few days there where I still had Internet access and kept going to the blog to check out what everyone was commenting about, only to remember I didn’t have the comments on – it was very disappointing to me!

Welcome! Bet everyone was glad to see you come home. đŸ™‚ Did you catch any fish?
Choppy is looking very sleek in this photo– must be all the exercise this past year. đŸ™‚

We caught a lot of fish – and I caught the biggest of the trip, by far (it was the biggest freshwater fish I’ve ever caught – so that was exciting!).
And Choppy is looking good these days. The vet and I discussed her weight because she could stand to lose a few pounds. We came up with a plan to be more consistent with giving her the right amount of dog food, because I know it would be hard for me to decrease her treats. I really think it’s working to shed those few pounds.

Summer diet! đŸ™‚ It’ll help her feel less hot, too. Looking forward to the new svelte look!

Thanks! I am clearly taking it easy, as none of those posts has gone up yet! The plan is later today, if I can steal a few minutes break to get at least the Backyard View or last week’s Dog Walk Challenge post done.

I de-activated them while I was gone, because I wouldn’t be able to answer any of them. I didn’t want anyone to think they were going to get a response when they weren’t!
