About Me

My photo
I'm Arthur, a Golden Retriever. I was rescued from the streets of Taiwan through the efforts of Golden Retriever Rescue and many kind volunteers in Taiwan. I understand Mandarin and English but cannot speak either. I have the innate ability to smell anything 'round' and I consider myself a real foodie as I'm willing to try just about anything edible. I was adopted by my human in 2009, my human ROCKS; together, we are on a special mission in rounding me into a stellar 'urban dog'! This blog is dedicated to my journey in urban development and the humans who make it possible.

Day 6 - Greenwood MO


Scheduled pit-stop...Greenwood, Missouri













  • Vehicle transactions: I unpacked one sweet-ride of a Mercedes only to pack up (again) my new rented and oddly smaller, Jeep Wrangler
  • Halftime at Camp Hayes: Karl & Jeannie, (gracious hosts) open their home to; me, Arthur, in-laws, kids, grandchild, and 100 close friends and family
  • An opportunity to meet more of the Hayes clan,  they're everywhere!
  • Attend the second wedding reception in a month and same bride & groom (?), cool!



    We arrived in Greenwood MO, the home of Karl & Jeannie about 10:30PM.  Arthur hit his passenger threshold about 50 miles back. I was pulled over by a state trooper just outside of Missouri. Following a semi-truck too closely in Kansas is against the law and not having proof of insurance could put you in jail! I pulled the pity card and avoided a traffic violation but I was so shook up from my brush with the law, I missed my exit and git lost. We arrive  late and a little embarrassed. I was happy to see the familiar faces of "family", anybody's!

    Arthur feels right at home...

    A couple of days off the road was just what we needed at this junction of our journey. I knew we were more than halfway to our final destination. Arthur, on the other hand,  thought this was the destination. I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth
