Every time we set off for a family vacation, guess who gets to set off first, and is always the last to return home?
Cliff gets to set off for his staycation before us and only returns home after we’ve returned and settled back at home. Photo taken with Nikon D800.
It’s Cliff of course – that’s our resident Golden Retriever.
Before we set off for our family vacation, we have to pack him off to his boarder – which costs as much as our own hotels.
Cliff smacking his lips at the thought of going on staycation? Photo taken with Nikon D800 and AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens. I love the shallow depth of field of this lens at its constant f/2.8 aperture.
We wonder if he misses home and us, but secretly concedes that he probably enjoys his staycation as much as we do our vacation.
What with the other dogs at the boarder to hump interact with.
And we usually pick him up after we’ve come back from vacation and have unpacked and settled down.
So guess who has the longest vacations in the family?
