Let me tell you about Camping

Hi Everyone,

I have been really bored this winter.  Dad had pneumonia so he couldn’t take me for walks.  After he got better, I went to Aunt Deb and Uncle Howard’s for a “stay cation” while Dad and Mom went on a cruise.

I never got to tell you about my last couple of camping trips.  I can’t help Dad back up the motor home anymore?  When we came back from Indian River after a few days.  I was sitting in my usual seat (passenger), and Bailey was so excited to see me he started barking,  WELL, I just had to bark my hello back!  When I did, Dad was so startled, he didn’t  take his foot off of the gas peddle?  When he heard a noise from the back of the motorhome, he asked Mom – what was that noise?  She told him he hit the garage, but he said NO WAY!!  I guess you know I got blamed for that!!  I really think it was Bailey’s fault?  Mom just said Dad tried to put the motorhome in the garage – and it didn’t fit!

Our longest trip was to Branson, MO.  I liked the ride. because I got to sleep all day!  While we were camping there, I couldn’t play ball because the roads were so steep, Mom said if I missed the ball it would go all they way down the hill and I would never find it?  We did find a small flat spot in the stones we could use.

While Dad was out taking me for a walk, we met some of my cousin’s – kissing cousins!  Abi and Ele , they live in Arizona, part of the year.  But they were born in Michigan, and their Mom and Dad used to live in Traverse City?  When Misty and I went to visit the lot they were camped on, Mom started asking where they lived in Traverse City, and they found out they had mutual friends!  It truly is a small world!

I am really looking forward to warmer weather and the snow melting.  Misty has a new cousin, Mr. Darcy (he is a Tri-color), and I can’t wait to get out in my yard and play with  them.

Love and Kisses,

Ruby
