Camping

We have just been on a real camping adventure.

This was our second time camping (Mum and Dad have been plenty of times without us) but the first trip doesn’t really count because it rained so much that we left after only 12 hours. Anyway, enough of that, this trip was heaps better, although it did rain a lot too!

We have our own tent – it’s supposed to be a “2-man” tent - "2-dog" more like. There's just room for our portable crate to fit inside with a mat and bowl.

Our “1-dog” crate

 







 



Cosy inside both









Riverwood Downs positively welcomes dogs – there is even a café with a menu for us. It was like a sleepover at the dog park.

With our fellow camp-dog Cody, we watched over the humans and greeted other dogs visiting our camp. We also did a bit of peeing on their tents and car tyres in return.

Hmmm, Cody’s crate is empty – I wonder if anyone would notice…



Ah, perfect for a nap.

The first night was so windy that Mummy kept waking Daddy up, worrying that our tent would be blown away. Eventually our portable crate was brought into the family tent (yay!) but they zipped up the door and we were both crammed inside it. Now, that’s really a “1 – dog” crate but we can both fit inside with a bit of a squash. In any case, we were so scared by the howling wind outside that we didn’t even whine.

Next day the rain arrived. Oh no, not again! Luckily Mummy had packed our raincoats or we would have been even wetter.




 

I’m not coming out until the rain stops





Thank goodness we got some nice warm sunshine after all that.

 



Hooray. Time to get wet again!



We were absolutely pooped after that big weekend and slept all the way home.





We can't wait to go camping again

Wordless Wednesday (well, nearly)



Ahhh… beach



Towel Time

It was muddy at the park today so we had to have a bath. It was long overdue and apparently there has been a slight whiff of dog in the car.

At least we’re small enough to get washed in the bath tub and Mummy always uses warm water. I know we’re lucky cos some dogs get hosed down in the yard – eek!

I don’t like the water bit, but I love towel time, especially when it turns into tug-of-war.

I’m clean and fluffy again, but not for long.

Back soon

Surprise!

The Gardener (AKA Mum) has had a struggle with weeds this year. Grass and other unwanted plants have been popping up everywhere because of all the rain, so this little flower was a lovely surprise.



What’s a flower doing here?



Something smells good!

Surprise pansy

We'll be keeping a lookout for other surprises.

Bye for now
