Gumbo Takes His First Boat Trip. Also a New Poodle Cousin Arrives.
Last week Judi and Creole headed for Florida for a visit and left us guys behind. We did guy stuff all week and headed for our camp on Lake Fork on Friday afternoon. We got up Saturday morning and went fishing. Granted we didn’t stay long because it was SOOO HOT, but it was Gumbo’s first time in the boat and he seemed to love it. He wanted to climb up on the front deck while the boat was moving fast, but I didn’t let him because he is still a little clumsy. Because our trip was cut short, I didn’t get any pictures or video. We only stayed out about an hour. We waited too late in the morning to go out.
A few weeks ago my sister who lives in Louisiana was at the house for a night. She had her granddaughter with her. Creole and Gumbo were their usual amazingly well-behaved and charming selves, so my sister left here saying she was getting a poodle. They have a black lab as well.
Well, as Gumbo and I were at the camp, my sister went to pick up a 10 week old brown and white Parti Poodle and brought him home. His name is Bingo, which is what my 2 yr old great niece called Gumbo when they played at the house a few weeks ago. We kept telling her GUMBO, not BINGO, but the children’s song overpowered our ability to change her, so they really had no choice than to name their new pup Bingo!
I’ll get on her to post some pictures.

blog that has all my Brother’s on it! I am the only little
Princess that was born with all those boys! My name is

Welcome Maggie!
We’re glad to have our sis here with us. Email my dad a photo and he’ll put it on the site or you can mail it to me at gumbo@creoleandgumbo.com and I will see to it that he posts it. This site has functionality to allow you to post articles and photos, but we have a few bugs to work out and dad has been busy lately.
I am sure the other boys will be happy to hear from you. Where do you live? Are you in the metroplex?

Gosh Gumbo, you get to have all the fun! Boatride already? The most Mommy and Daddy will do is take me in the car — and each time it’s always to a new place — Riverside Kennel to see Ms. Suzette for PlayDay, the Pupper Park in NRH, Petco, Paw Spa, Sonic. But I’ve never got to go in a boat. Your Dad is the coolest. Hey, it’s so cool that you and your parents have set up this cool site. Cannot wait to see Ms. Maggie Moo.
On another front, how is your sister Creole handling all this fanfare and reunion you’re having? Bless her heart. She’s a real beauty, be good to Creole. Hey, and she’s cool — she’s our sister too!
Later Bro Gumbo [paw slap],
Killee

Creole is fine with all of the fanfare. She gets to travel cross country with Mom, so she gets to do cool stuff.
For now, she is still bigger and faster than I am so she thinks she is the boss. I keep telling her to enjoy this because I will soon pass her in size.
She is not the jealous type, so it’s all good.
