Our final vacation day...

Yesterday was another great vacation day.  The forecast called for rain - but when we got my human up nice and early, the sun was shining.  We went on OUR trail again. The only bad thing about our walk is that my human insists on taking our photos. Seriously, can't we just WALK  - without the pup-arazzi routine?  I try very hard to look grumpy, but every now and then I give up and just smile.  Might as well - she generally doesn't give up.

Yesterday we went to a town called Baddeck. 

And do you know who once had a huge summer home in Baddeck? None other than Alexander Graham Bell.  And there is a museum all about Bell.  Velcro dog and I couldn't go in, but I understand it was very interesting.  I have talked about Bell before - and I think I even mentioned how he tried to teach his dog to talk.  Bell was very interested in teaching speech to hearing impaired individuals - in fact his wife Mabel was deaf.  So he also tried to teach his dog to talk.  First he taught him to continually growl.  Then he would manipulate his dog's mouth to have him produce certain sounds.  Reportedly, his dog could say "How are you grandmama?"  My human teaches people to speak - but she has no illusions about sticking her hands in my mouth and manipulating it while I growl.  And they said Bell was a smart guy?  

We did end up having a rainy day so after our jaunt to Baddeck we relaxed in our cabin. It's not like Velcro dog and I would want to hike in the rain...

Today we head home. And we leave the beautiful Cape Breton behind.   But I have a feeling...we'll be back!

Have a happy Monday!
