Overtaxed ... Grrrrr !!

Many thanks to HUNTER 9. 5.2000 - 9. 15.2007 for "dogifying" Stella's thoughts

Saratoga Springs - In Our Travels...to be cont'd

A ride along the Hudson River on Metro North is a lovely way to get to Saratoga Springs.




Yes, they allow well behaved dogs!
(this is not Stella or her cup of tea - she hated the clanking noises, we drove)

















we visited the beautiful




Seven Sisters Bed & Breakfast











as well as the lovely Saratoga Sleigh -




I took the liberty

of posing on their porches





but,

since neither allows dogs...


we highly recommend

the incredible and amazing








Union Gables Inn.
($25 pet fee)

The historic Furness House

was built in 1901

at 55 Union Avenue by R. Newton Brezee.

It's a beautiful example of the Queen Anne style of architecture.






Racing season hadn't started yet...

but we visited the race course anyway.
Lots of great smells there.


I kept hearing "see! biscuit! " so many times I thought for sure I was going to get one!













Instead all I got was this lousy job,





posing by this statue of a huge, fake horse.








I loved our visit to Saratoga Springs!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Rog!

Not too far off the topic of "Old Dogs"...



















Wishing a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Roger,


Stella & Sasha's human uncle
(and Mom's human brother - yes, that's a shot at you Uncle Al !)
who must be centuries old by now in dog years!





Roger Edward Feingold: birthdate April 7, 1942

April

You will do foolish things,






but do them with enthusiasm.
