I did eventually get to walk
and play in the water. I had a great time and love all the neat places
Mommy and Daddy take me. I especially love any place where there's
water. Don't know where I'm going next, but I'm sure it will be
equally as much fun.

If Joie had been at a trial, I'm
sure she would have qualified. Look at that girl go!!!!!

During the first two weeks of June 2006,
Joie traveled with her Mom and Dad from North Carolina to Winter Haven, FL
and back home via the North Carolina mountains. Below are some
pictures that Joie thought best depicted her journey, along with
commentary of her first BIG trip!!

This is me touring Jekyll
Island (GA) with my Dad - I loved it!
Don't you just love my close-up??!!!

I loved running on the nice, flat beach and
chasing all the birds.
Boy, is this a great place or what???!!!

This is Lake Howard Nature
Park located in Winter Haven, FL. It's where we exercised every
morning - very early. Florida is too hot and you can't swim in the
water because they have alligators!! They eat dogs!!!!! Needless
to say, this was my least favorite stop on our trip. |

One of the highlights of my
trip was making new friends! Here are some I met in Highlands, NC...
|
|
|
Here I am with my Mom doing
some Christmas shopping in Highlands. She collects Santas, so I was
helping her find some!!! She always appreciates my help because I have
such a good nose for sniffing out just the right one!!!! |

This is one of several great
waterfalls in the very well-known Nantahala National Forest in the western
North Carolina mountains. Nantahala means "Land of the Noonday Sun",
so named as the sun only reaches the floor of the deep gorges and valleys
when directly overhead at midday. I walked underneath it; it was
spectacular!!!!!. |

|
|
Here we are at Mingo Falls
in Cherokee, NC. We had to walk up 167 steps to get here. Mommy
and Daddy were slow, but I ran up and down lots of times!!!!!
|
|
|
|
We saw many beautiful
overlooks and flowering bushes. I liked the Blue Ridge Parkway (in
NC).
I really enjoyed my trip and I hope Mommy
and Daddy will take me again sometime. There's so much to see and so
many birds to chase!! I also hope you enjoyed my trip journal.

At five months old now, Joie has finished
Puppy Kindergarten and passed her final exam with flying colors. She was the
only puppy to sit, down, stay, and walk correctly on the leash without
treats!!! Way to go, Joie!!!!!
