So, this is hard. At 8pm tonight Bill casts off with team @eaglesevensailing for what is planned to be a five year “seabatical” sailing around the world. How many of those five years Bill will see is an open question. But he is an avid sailor with a playful spirit. While I am in awe of anyone who can pull a really big dream from the ether, claim it, and give it life; that dream took a piece of my heart with it tonight. I will miss my friends @billthedogsmom and @birchmarine - go to www.eaglesevensailing.com to follow #billthedog and his parents on their journey. #morrisyachtsm36 #eaglesevensailing (at Boston Harbor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeU0OD7MpPW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“....hi uncle Dave.....hold on...’WHAT MOM!? .... NOPE......NO.!!! OKAY MOM. BYE BYE. HAVE A NICE WALK. YUP....LOVE YOU TOO.... YA, BACK IN ONE MINUTE. I REMEMBER......’ Sorry ‘bout that Uncle Dave. For the love of God...What part of my head on the pillow looks like I want to go for a walk? Huh Uncle Dave?” Bill, I thought you loved walks. “I have limits Uncle Dave. I’m telling you, they’d better go back to work soon. Another week of this and I’ll be at Angell Memorial gettin’ a god damn hip replacement.” Wow, Bill....”And one more thing ... the whole bullshit about “back in one minute?” Well, they don’t know Uncle Dave that you taught me how to tell time.” Aw jeez Bill “I’m just secretly documenting all the times they lied about that and I’ll spring it on em the next time I do something stupid.” I get that Bill. “Anyway Uncle Dave why’d you call me?” Umm I didn’t. You called me Bill. #billthedog #poodlesofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #quarantine https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7ha5RpUcb/?igshid=ug9gg4tya4s0

“Good Morning Uncle Dave....it’s me Bill, Bill the Dog!” Oh sweet Jesus Bill, I’m afraid to ask what’s going on there. “I am kind of in the middle of something here Uncle Dave, you won’t mind if we keep our chat brief will you?” No problem Bill.... “GPS is on the fritz Uncle Dave. Dad’s lost. I’m trying to guide us out of this god forsaken wilderness.” Where are you Bill? “Hold on there Uncle Dave......DAD! Listen up!....DAD! MUMMA!! ... Hey!!!! Now is not really a good time for that! Just sayin,.....okay now Dad....in about 50 paws, take a sharp left....no no Dad.... AFTER the tumble weed...” Wow Bill. I don’t know what to say. “No kidding Uncle Dave....you think a week in the car with these two has been easy? Do ya Uncle Dave ...? If I hear the name Robert Mueller one more time Uncle Dave....my ears will just pop off.” Where are you exactly Bill? “You want that in latitude and longitude Uncle Dave?” Not really Bill. “Well, Dad says we’re in Wyoming. Mom says we’re in one of those square states in the middle....sorry Uncle Dave....I gotta pay attention here.” Okay Bill. Be careful. I’m curious though ..... how are you staying on the roof? “Don’t be an idiot Uncle Dave. Velcro. Obviously.” #billthedog #poodlesofinstagram #dogsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BvJdX-4Fifi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kypis45l9z8l

“Hi Uncle Dave, it’s me Bill. Are you getting excited about coming over tomorrow? Just a couple of things to review before you get here. First, a reminder I’m not a Labrador Retriever, I’m a poodle. Poodles don’t have “jobs”. I don’t get up at 5am, or 6, or seven - 8:00am is the earliest I want to hear about going for a walk. Second, the salami in the refrigerator is for us to SHARE. You know what that means right? Last visit I seem to recall there being no salami for Bill, that’s not right.”. #billthedog #poodlesofinstagram

“Don’t look at me Uncle Dave. I warned you. Before we left ...I said ‘three bags today Uncle Dave. Three bags. Not two.’ Didn’t I Uncle Dave?!” I guess I didn’t hear you Bill, sorry. “There’s a shocker....maybe you could work on your listening skills a bit Uncle Dave.” #billthedog #poodlesofinstagram (at Brookline, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bms6DnOgg1y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fcs0gjnt9727
