Thank you everyone for all your wonderful best wishes.
Drea, we stayed at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort........... I like to play the slots sometimes and since I have a player's club card, the rates are pretty good ($69) per night, it's right on the beach so you have a wonderful view of the huge waves crashing in on the shore.......... and the best part........They allow pets.
We always take our two dogs and let them run on the beach. Sophie, our black lab, is now mature enough we can turn her loose, but my poor little beagle, Ahni........ has to stay on her leash. Once a beagle starts on a scent chase.........she wouldn't stop, no matter how many times I call her.
This is Ahni last December 1st, when I first got her. She was my baby, and still is.
Sophie is one year older but she was never jealous........she took care of her right from the start. I always take one of their blankets so they don't lay directly on the bedding... and they sleep together, not like this anymore because Ahni is full grown now... but they're still good friends. Scott brought Sophie home in December of 2005 for us. We'd had a black lab that we all adored but at age 16 we had to make the decision to let him go. Frank never has gotten over that. So, Scott got Sophie for him and she filled his heart and arms, as Ahni did mine. I was still working when Frank got Sophie so they spent all day together every day. She loves me, but she's my husbands dog, and she's very clear about that.
They keep me busy and give love totally & unconditionally.......... and for the past year, I really needed my little baby girl, Ahni, to snuggle up and sleep with me in the chair and to always be there for me, she's never let me down.
I'm glad to be back, I love all of you.
Drea, the rates might not apply just to the player's club....... look up Chinook Winds Casino Resort and check on them.
We use to always stay at the Inn at Spanish Head, but they don't allow pets so we don't stay there anymore.......... but we do eat dinner there........ good food.
love,
jane
