Caboose on Vacation

My parents have four of these little dogs and Caboose tried every day to get each one to play, but it never worked out for him. He did make huge strides with this one though. Her name is Snickers and she's afraid of big dogs.

On the evening that we arrived, she squealed like a little kid when she was first introduced to Caboose. She ran around the deck literally screaming. I had never heard a noise like that coming out of a dog. Our neighbor looked over, my Mom came running outside... it sounded like she was getting eaten alive by Caboose.

The ironic thing is that he was probably more scared of her. He backed away and cowered down when he heard the crazy noises coming from this little mop. It took her about 3 hours to settle down from the shock of this big guy invading her house. By morning, she figured out that he wasn't going anywhere and she actually started to enjoy his company. Seriously, of the four dogs, she's the one you'll find nearest Caboose at any given time. She doesn't LIKE him, but she does tolerate him.

Dad snapped this cute shot of them hanging on the dog bed while we were away in Mexico.



With the sweltering heat this summer on the east coast, Caboose ended up spending a lot of time in the air conditioning of the indoors chilling out.
