This post continues my family’s trip this past Friday, without Nala and me. Even if we really didn’t get to go, we were <\/em>there… kinda. \ud83d\ude09

My family was now hours away from Nala and me. My mommy was very upset and couldn’t really enjoy herself until she heard from my doctor again. It took a few hours, but my temperature had started to come down. The doctor told my mommy that a normal doggie temperature is between 100.5\u00b0F and 102.5\u00b0F\/103\u00b0F. He said that a temperature over 104\u00b0F is very serious. When I was first checked in, I had a temperature of 106. He told mommy that he would do a CBC if my temperature didn’t go down, to see if there was anything else going on. My mommy told the doctor that she thinks I made myself sick from the whole boarding situation (well I was <\/em>fine before I found out they were leaving me). Mommy called my doctor often to find out how I was doing. <\/p>\n

It was really hard for mommy to leave me for the first time. In fact, she was surprised at how much she worried about me. She worried so much, that she found a way for Nala and me to go with them on their trip. Here’s what she did…<\/p>\n

For a long time, my mommy has been taking photos and making them into carry-along photos like Flat Stanleys<\/em>. Remember when I said that Nala and I didn’t go with our family on their trip? Well, my mommy made Nala and me into Flat Bailey and Flat Nala, and she carried us along in her backpack! Teehee!<\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nThese are just a few of the Flats that mommy has.
\nThey’re some of her past pets. She even made these into magnets!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nNow Nala and I have been added to the Flat family!
\nHere we are as Flat Bailey and Flat Nala, also known as Flat B&N.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nFlat B&N were very excited to go to Universal!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nFlat B&N in front of Rip, Ride, Rockit. Taylor, her friend, and daddy
\nwent on this! Mommy doesn’t do upside down roller coasters. She went
\non one once, and that was enough for her!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nThis ride goes upside down and has lots of loops!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nFlat B&N had to rest after watching the coaster go upside down a few times!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nMommy, daddy, Taylor and her friend went on the Mummy.
\nThis coaster doesn’t go upside down, but it does go backwards!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nSoon it was time for lunch! Taylor cooled down Flat B&N with a fan.
\n(Similar to how my doctor cooled me down at Boarding Camp.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nHere are Flat B&N in front of a pretend pet store.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nFlat B&N taking time to smell the flowers.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nFlat B&N thought of George’s<\/a> Saturday steps when this picture
\nwas taken. The steps are in Universal Studio’s NYC set.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nThis is Doctor Doom’s Fear Fall — Taylor and her friend went on this.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nWe found more doggie-themed stuff. Here’s Flat B&N in front of Heathcliff’s bone.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nAnd here’s Marmaduke!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nHere’s a view from just inside the one place my family was anxious to see!<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

Remember just recently when I told you how much my family loves everything to do with Harry Potter? Well, this next area in Islands of Adventure has been on my family’s list of wanna-go-there places ever since they announced it’s creation. It’s the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Flat B&N got to go too!<\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nFlat B&N in front of the castle. Inside the castle is the Forbidden Journey
\nride, which my family went on. They said it was amazzzzing!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nThis is a closer view of the castle — they’re almost up to the entrance.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nThey’re almost inside!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nEven the silhouettes of the castle are awesome to look at!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nThis is one of the inside rooms — talking and moving paintings fill the walls.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nThere were so many!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nA few rooms contained holograms of the Harry Potter characters.
\nThis classroom is Defense Against the Dark Arts.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nAt the end of this room, it started snowing!
\nSnow stuff got in everyone’s hair. Teehee!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nThe Fat Lady guards the entrance to Gryffindor Tower at Hogwarts Castle.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nHere are Flat B&N catching a ride on Taylor’s shoulder!<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

My family walked around Harry Potter World, all the time continuing to keep in touch with my doctor. By the afternoon, my temperature had gone down, and they moved me back to my cage. My mommy had scheduled me to have some play time out of my cage, but since I was so sick they decided to skip that — they didn’t want me to get overexcited and overheated. All I wanted was my family to come home. I missed them, and I missed Nala.<\/p>\n

By late afternoon I was doing much better, and mommy received a couple of pictures of Nala and me from Christine.<\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nHere’s me on a walk at Boarding Camp.
\nI was sad here, but at least I was feeling better. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"Boarding
\nNala was doing well — everyone calls her a sweet baby.
\nNo wonder one of her tags says, “Sweetest baby in the world.”<\/em>
