Rocky's trip to Austin

This past weekend Rocky escaped the rain in Houston whilst vacationing in Austin.  He enjoyed the scenic drive along 290 from the comfort of his backseat bed.

As Austin is an incredibly pet-freindly city Rocky had no trouble checking into the Hilton downtown.  He found he could leave his personal bed in the car having been offered his own queen-sized bed.  He was all smiles as he jumped up for an evening of R&R.  Later he was found watching Adult Swim on cartoon network and gazing at the view out the 14th floor window. 


The next morning he enjoyed a personal tour of the UT campus from one of its distinguished graduates. Here he can be seen admiring the Jackson School. 

Upon completion of his tour he enjoyed a leash ceremony in which his 6-year-old threadbare Longhorn leash was appropriately laid to rest on hallowed ground and replaced with a new version.  Below DLG can be seen holding the new leash in preparation for the ceremonial re-leashing.

Rocky was pleasantly surprised to be invited into store after store in downtown Austin and enjoyed sniffing around in baby and menswear shops.  He couldn't have been more pleased to be so welcomed everywhere he went.  Before heading off to the piano appointment (where he was also welcomed inside) he paid homage to Willie Nelson. 

All-in-all he had a fabulous trip and considers Austin to be one of the friendliest places he's yet visited!
