I had no intentions of doing a fourth Saturday coffee outing but Deb’s dog Chappy (my granddog) joined us and made it extra special. He was so happy to be going out with us that he actually relaxed in the car.
We headed out to western New Jersey to Blairstown which is set in the rolling hills of Sussex County. The sky was dotted with puffy white clouds everywhere.
As always though… coffee is first. Deb & I have been to the coffee shop before. This was Chappy’s first time there though and he really enjoyed sitting outside being admired by passerby’s.
Of course Chappy doesn’t drink coffee but usually we can entice him with bites of whatever we’re eating but he didn’t seem to be interested in my bagel.
Although this shot makes it look otherwise, he still refused. (This was a lucky shot, I didn’t realize until later I’d gotten his tongue at just the right moment).
Chappy’s ready now to move on to the next phase of our outing… a walk around town.
So off we went…
Through the grounds of the Blair Academy…
Wandering around town taking in the sights… (and sniffs)
I thoughtfully browsed in a store for a bit so Chappy could relax with his mom. Dogs always look comfy no matter where they are.
If you’re looking for hope, here it is… Hope, New Jersey.. we drove thru it on our way home :)
