NOLA exposed Morey to several new experiences. Being the amazing dog he is, he took everything in stride, although in several of the situations he did display some caution and hesitancy. One of the things that caused him a bit of concern was the floor length windows at the hotel.
This was the view from our room on the 24th floor. Our other co-worker had a room on the 45th floor that overlooked the water. When Morey first went into her room he stopped a few feet away from the window and stretched out his head and neck to cautiously look out the window. He was careful to keep his back legs as far back as possible- just in case! We visited that room several times throughout our stay and each time he exercised the same caution. I have to admit I didn't like standing that close either!
While we were out and about we experienced some horse-drawn carriages. I know Morey has seen them before, but I was curious to see his reaction. At one corner the carriage was stopped and the horse was drinking from a trough in the sidewalk. Morey once again stretched out, trying to get a closer sniff, but ready to beat a hasty escape if needed. He couldn't seem to figure out what the horses were. It was funny to see him investigate and then seemingly decided that as long as it wasn't a threat to him he could ignore it. He was much more interested in the droppings they left behind then in the horses themselves!
Thankfully I don't have any hurricane experience to share (I just thought it made the title sound better! : )
