I'd have to say Spencer had the best time in Maine and Boston. He got to do so much, it was almost too much for a little puppy to take! There was the trip in the R.V., which he really wasn't sure about in the begininng. He didn't know if he should sit, lay down, stand or what in the world to do. He eventually became used to it and was very calm and a good dog.
We finally made it to Boston and Spencer was excited to get up and actually do something! We decided it'd be fun to take a tour of Boston and see what there was to see, and we decided to do this on the hottest day of the year. Although, a good experience came for Spencer when he rode the bus for the first time. Again, this took him a while to get comfortable, but he overall did a great job. Another great experience came for Spencer at the aquarium, and that experience, was a seal. We eventually had to leave the seal alone because he didn't really know what the seal was and wanted to bark at it. Spencer seemed to like it there though and had a good time.
The next day in Boston was college day for us! Spencer came along again and we first went to the MIT mueseum. Spencer saw all the robots and technology and was really curious on why everything was moving. He also saw a group of kids and wanted to meet them all. My dad tried to convince everyone he was a robotic dog, I rolled my eyes at him and said he wasn't. We later went back downstairs and finished looking at all the interesting things and Spencer, again, was a great dog. The next stop was my favorite, Berklee College of Music! Spencer was already kinda worn out by this point so after a while my dad took him to a place to rest and they were done for the day.
We later went to Maine and Spencer got to do alot more fun things! On our third day there we took Spencer on a four mile hike which he loved! About half up the mountain we were climbing, my dad found something new to Spencer, a snake. As you can imagine, this scared my dad and I a bit, but no, not Spencer. Spencer really wanted to play with this snake. We're really glad he didn't though, turns out this snake was a brown rattlesnake or something of those sorts. Spencer did a great job getting up the big rocks and we eventually made it to the top! The rest of the Maine trip for Spencer was a lot of rest and walking around to see what there was.
About a week after the Maine trip, Spencer had one of the best times of his life. While my parents and I voyaged to the Outer Banks, Spencer stayed at another CCI volunteer's farm, which was five days of nonstop running and playing with his friends Kianna and Carson. We were told Spencer was a very good dog, but I can't help but think he was a bit mischievous.
Spencer also went up to Pennsylvania this week and learned about ATV's (All Terrain Vehicles) and got to watch my mom and I take an ATV safety class, where he helped out by picking up cones with my dad. Spencer didn't do anything particularly exciting otherwise, but the ATV's where a great experience for him which I felt the need to highlight.
Thank you so much for reading, have a great week!
