Humphrey's On The Move

Throughout this summer, Humphrey (our familie's Yorkie) has been sited traveling in style. He traveled out of the country to Canada and to the busy city of Buffalo New York. Humphrey enjoyed gathering inspiration for HiHo's fourth quarter while hitting the streets of the city. This first shot was taken here at home. HUMPHREY'S FRONT PACK WAS A GIFT FROM A THOUGHTFUL CUSTOMER

Humphrey and I usually travel to the shop in the HiHo truck or walk. Now that the weather has cooled a bit I got out my bike. This shot was taken in our parking lot. You can see he really enjoys this mode of transportation.


HUMPHREY LOVES THE WIND IN HIS FACE

My bike was a gift from my husband, purchased on one of our shopping tours of antique shops and thrift stores. The baskets let me cart things back and forth to the shop. I wouldn't recommend going long distances on this type of bike, but it's perfect for the mile home.


WE HIT THE PAVEMENT RUNNING, TONS OF FUN SHOPS ON ELMWOOD AVE, IN BUFFALO

While visiting extended family in Buffalo, we couldn't resist a tour of the shops on Elmwood Aveune. Many of the shops are small family owned businesses. Creative displays and helpful sales associates made the day very enjoyable. Humphrey seemed up for the adventure.

HE IS REALLY A COUNTRY DOG AT HEART

We encouraged a visit with the fire hydrant, but Humphrey didn't seem to know what we had in mind. All in all he proved to be a good traveling companion. He is happiest at the shop, holding court on the counter.
