Hugo and Reynolds here!
As you know, dad works on a big fancy ship here in Sasebo. Sis and I know that part, but what we didn't know was how often dad would be leaving us to go cruise around Southeast Asia!! Dad has been gone 34 of the last 63 days...and it's a constantly changing schedule. He's gone a week, back a weekend, gone another week, back for a week and then gone for a few more days...it’s a crazy schedule and it changes all the time!!! This makes mom a little frustrated for trip planning, but overall they make it work.
Heck, sis and I are happy the trips have been postponed- that means more time at home to cuddle us!
Yeah! What Hugo said! We never know which parent is going to be home at night to potty us...it’s awful! The only plus to dad being gone is that Hugo and I get to snuggle with mom every night in the bed. When dad's home, he locks us out of the bedroom now....apparently, I take up too much of his half of the bed! I just remind him (through my pitiful puppy dog face) that it's *technically* his fault. I have grown accustomed to spreading out on his side of the bed when he's gone!
Sis is right- I have tried to sneak in and sleep on my dog bed when dad's home, but he says it’s not fair so I get kicked out as well! Remind me again why I wanted a little sister?!
Anyway, between all the comings and goings, mom is sure to take extra pictures of us to send to dad as a reminder of our love! Check them out below:
I know, we are the cutest aren't we?!!
During one of the week's returns, mom went and met dad at the ship and she got these great pics of dad on the flight deck all by himself! Can you spot him!?
No wonder he has to be gone so often- that ship is HUGE and they need dad to keep all those sailors smiling bright!
Sis and I can both agree that our favorite times are when dad is back home with us. Whether its curled up on the couch watching an NC State football game, or mom and dad ditching us at home for a date night at Huis Ten Bosch, we are just the happiest when he is home!
Mom and dad remind us that they did sign up for this crazy life, but boy will we ALL be happy when we are together FOR REAL and not dealing with the crazy "ship life!"
Wags & Kisses,
Hugo and Reynolds
PS: Dad says we have to remind our fan club (ok, our "readers") that he isn't an evil dad for locking us out of our favorite sleeping spots. Whatever. We will leave that up to our "readers" to decide!
