Almost time to leave

It has been awhile since I could get to the computer to post anything but finally I made it. Life had been pretty good for me until this week. THEN...my humans took off and left me all day long cooped up here in this RV while they went off to Boston. It really wasn't too bad as I had food, water, my really comfy bed or the sofa or any of the chairs so I just made the rounds and slept on all of them. Plus the next day "Daddy" felt so guilty he took me for the longest walk ever. He let me sniff anything and everything I wanted to. BUT then on Friday, they took me to the groomer...YUK. I look really good when she gets done but boy do I hate it. I got bathed, trimmed and then all fluffed out. One benefit of suffering this indignity is that everyone thinks I am "sooooo cute" that I get more treats and more petting. Maybe the trade off is worth the bath...hmmmmm....NO WAY!!!

I keep hearing from the humans that we will be leaving here soon and heading back to Texas. I'm not sure I like this idea because I have to leave Lorraine and the treats next door. Maybe when I get to Texas I can get someone else to spoil me like she does. That is definitely something I will have to work on. I better start developing a strategy for that...hmmm. Lots to think about. I just bet that I get left home alone on the way so that "Mom" and "Dad" can go sightseeing but hey, I get the whole place to myself and who knows what I'll do. Let them think about that for a while!!!

PAAAAARRRRTTTTYYYYY!!

I guess after last night I have been elevated to the status of work camper. "Momma" and "Daddy" took me to a work camper party last night. All of the other workers treated me pretty good and fed me some ribs and gave me the bones. I think they were feeling a bit sorry for me since I was limping the other day. My left hind knee sort of popped out of place and everyone was real happy to see me walking around again without a limp. I even showed off my Devil Dog imitation. "Momma" showed Randy and Sue and the others how I protect my bones. I just do it so she will think I have a trick to perform. They were all surprised at the sound I can make while trying to bite some one's shoe. I have to tell you that human shoes taste pretty nasty, but everyone thinks it is amazing so I give them a little demonstration. After that, I smelled something and starting hunting it down. Remember, I told you how I can hunt. Benny was totally amazed that any kind of dog other than his beagles could hunt. He just doesn't know how sharp this little noses is. All in all it was pretty fun. I got petted, fed, held and generally pampered and anytime you can get that it is all good!!!

Back at Meadowbrook

Well, we are back at Meadowbrook and everyone is back especially Lorraine and Jonesy. We have visited with them and YUMMY - she has treats. I have gotten a little irritated because she has been giving MY treats to just any dog that comes by to visit. Doesn't she know that this is wrong. They are my treats. She bought them for ME. I haven't been able to stop her so I guess I will just have to endure it.

The past two nights the humans and I haven't got outside to visit because it has been too cold. That is right too cold. By about 6 PM, it is well into the 50s and I was even shivering last night for the few minutes we were out. Today is bright, sunny and much warmer so maybe I will get out more today. The human's car has been in the shop for the past two days so they have been home with me. "Momma" has spent some time sitting on the couch reading so I have very slyly maneuvered myself into her lap and laid there. That has been very comfortable, but today they have been outside rearranging the bays of the motorhome so I have had to be content with lying in the grass in the sun.....AHHHHH

Moosehead Lake

Here is a picture of me hunting at Moosehead.....

Well FINALLY!!!!! I have not been able to write anything for so long I thought my paws would forget how to use the computer.

We did take that trip I mentioned in my last post and I have to admit that the humans did pick a very nice spot. We left last Sunday and drove for about 3 hours which for me was just a fairly decent nap. I slept in "Momma's" lap except when she would hold me up and try to get me to be interested in the scenery. I don't know why she would think I would be interested but she ALWAYS does that and I ALWAYS just turn my head away. You would think she would learn.

We got to Moosehead Family Campground and it was sort of nice. Not nearly so many people as here and I got to run around every night by the campfire and "hunt". I have never mentioned my hunting before, but this is where I stick my nose to the ground and run around looking very serious. The humans think it is so cute - YUK!! I just do it because I like to find new smells and it gets my ears scratched.

I did get to ride around with them some in the car while we were up there, but then the last two days they left me alone all day. I did get to run around a little more these nights because I think they felt guilty. AND well they should have - leaving ME alone. I just don't understand how they can do that!!!

We got home on Thursday and have had internet problems and they had to work so I am finally getting to tell my tale. The night we got back was the only night that Lorraine and Jonesy were here as they have gone off on a trip. I wish they had taken me as she is the only one with treats. I hope they get back soon but the humans haven't told me anything about that so I will just have to keep watch.
