More company!

Another paddle, more turtles sunning themselves on logs that I was not allowed to check out more personally, and a few more hours of lap time as mom and dad waiting for dad’s dad…G & L to arrive.

And then visiting and wandering from lap to lap – I can get used to this except for the chill that swept into the air last night.

We had a fire and my jaleblankie and my mom’s lap but it was so cold! I did not want to wait until the two leggers were ready for bed, so I walked over to our bedroom door and sniffed the shiny line that magically allows me access to my Laurablankie.

And I went to bed.

Monday was a typical Monday.

We just missed our company’s escape- heard the rustling, but it was sooooo early! Neither me nor mom had the energy to crawl out if the warm blankies. And dad, well, he’s my sleep-in buddy so he’s not conscious before 8 am!
But we emitted a tiny”bye” as they got into their van and drive off.

I really missed them today.

I also needed to sleep after such a party hard weekend.

So Monday was a classic day of barely get the minimum done to say we did something between all of the napping / reading by two-leggers.

We went for a short green box float in the morning and a couple of jaunts around the campgrounds.

Today, new company arrives!
I’ll tell ya all about it later!

Trying to remind mom to stop fidgeting and let me sleep…

Dad had some snuggle time too, then I sat on him.

Company = cuddling

A day wandering from lap to lap was exactly what I needed after the “Great Gravy Walk”.
And the fabulous K&B obliged!
We laughed, we played, they took photos, and we all napped in various positions and combinations of warm bodies.

Last photo was a selfi taken by B down at the beach- I never know what these two leggers are thinking!!!

B made an apparently nommy rice dish which they all mocked me and would not feed me, but at least they did play with me earlier!

K built a nice warm fire too, and then we all settled into the kitchen where I realized the cuddling was done when they wrapped me in in my JALE blankie.

So I dozed.

Saturday –the Great Gravy Walk!

When mom and dad kept talking about the “ice cream walk”, I just didn’t get it.
I do now, but for me it will always be the Great Gravy Walk.

We began with our visiting two-leggers, K&G, tagging along. And the route took us along the same path we had taken a couple if days earlier.

And then we continued, and we walked, and walked! There were many other two leggers and the strange circle leggers zipping by as I tried to pull everyone into a reasonable pace.

Please note: my two leggers are not able to keep up with me ( this is a slice of foreshadowing)
Our walking kept going, we even stopped at a bridge where a grey heron was spotted:

And then we came finally to the edge of the “magical field”. Tiny little juicing balls hang from bushes right at my head. And they are so very very good to both my two leggers and me!
While my dad was sharing some of his hand full of “blueberries”, I saw something exciting and tried to go see it.
And then…. FREEDOM!!

I could see so far ahead, a clear path edged with the little yummy plants!
And the JOY I felt as the wind lifted my ears when I could finally run at my own speed was exciting!

I think I may have heard my name on the air behind me and when I turned to look, I was so happy to see dad trying to keep up! And so we both RAN!

What fun!

When I reached the end of the path, there were a few circle leggers and other two leggers preparing to go into the plants, and I decided to wait for dad.

He then caught up and linked us again and brought me into the fields of glorious juicy little balls and showed me how awesome they are:


You can also see the video via my twitter feed: OMG Blueberries!!

Then we continued to the best part!!
Everyone else went into this busy building and came out with plates oozing with chunky bits and dripping with “gravy”.
I waited so patiently to see if anyone would like to share with me.

Yes, mom had brought my own kibble and water and I are that- even after having eaten so many blueberries!!

And then, a gentle finger came into my view covered with the dripping gravy and you better believe I cleaned that finger!

It was heavenly! And not enough. I wa very disappointed I was not presented with more.

Then we walked home.
And then I slept and dreamt of blueberries, freedom, and topped it all off with gravy.

Friday #2- brrr-ruff

Company arrived yesterday!!
Well, new neighbours at least! But I’ll get to that!

The mornings are definitely chilly here and the afternoons are gloriously warm and sunshiny- at least Friday was simply wonderful!

We decided to try this green floating thing again- it’s getting to be a habit for mom and dad, but that may change for the weekend!
And we came across the most delicious smelling floating food, err, ducks ( mergansers to be specific). Again, mom has to get those photos off her other camera so I’ll update this later with some shots!
At any rate, as much as I wanted to go get me one, mom would not let me :-< Later on though, the next level of fun began after K&B got here!! I LOVE the back of the minivan- I just walked right up and settled in while mom and K chatted! 20130810-073527.jpg

There was much carousing after supper as well, but mom won’t let me post those photos … I was cozy in my JALE and quite happy to be in a safe place while they played this year’s first game of Munchkin!

And today is another day! Cold morning so I am staying in my bed as long as I can!

Sleeping in later every day- thanks noisy neighbours!

Yesterday was great! Mom and dad started moving around quickly and taking things in and out of bags so I got really excited! When the connector cord when on, I nearly bonked both if them in the head!

We started out on another adventure that took us to a new place- oh the SMELZ!!!

Then mom and dad starting hitting each other. I was up front and occasionally I was also getting tapped on my back/ hind region. Then we abruptly turned around send headed home. Mom and dad were really irritated and kept repeating, “it’s August! What’s with these Mosquitos!?!”

Then back at home, we all got into our yellow wraps and went to the big green floaty thing. That was fun too.

Mom took some pics but not with her phone- so she’ll upload them later- just know that I look AWESOME!

After that we came home for cuddle time and I spent time in dads hammock.

More walks were enjoyed and I found the best sticks up here!!

20130809-072854.jpg

And the firey ball in the sky was very orange last night

20130809-073144.jpg
Even dad took some great pics down by the water!

Oh and then the noisy neighbours kept dropping things until super late! Going to bark at their tent now:->

Rain and thunder… But no biggie

Those of you who follow me on twitter ( @sprocketminpin) or my mom on Facebook, already saw yesterday’s close up:

20130808-072721.jpg
And this was my artwork

20130808-072730.jpg
And it made me very tired

20130808-072738.jpg

All of this took place at the end of a roller coaster day.
First, mom tried letting me go back to bed after our morning walk, and it was lovely.
So when I heard the rain sound, I was already in the best possible place, and I still am not sure why we had to go driving about. But apparently dad broke his sandals and well, I did get to sniff around a fun little town. The most popular place at 11 am, Wednesday morning, is called the LCBO.
There was an alternating button in the rain and sun, but every day seems to be like that here.
We did go for a but of a walk too where I could climb a mountain:

20130808-073406.jpg
And then new neighbours with two little two-leggers who are very squeaky arrived:

And then there was the digging…
Another full day chez T2Camping! Hey wait, they need to update the site name!

Another sunshiny day!

Yesterday was a lazy day.
When we awoke after an overnight shower or two, we thought it might be a rainy day ( turns out that’s today- but it’s just getting started so I will talk about today tomorrow! ).
It was a bit overcast, but really I found lots of sunspots to lie down in!
And I got to spend the day harness free ( it really absorbed a lot of water from the day before ( swimming/canoe time), and my collar is almost like a mini choke chain, so mom figured I should be manageable around camp.

20130807-070453.jpg

So we played around the campground and I met an adorable boxer named Tosser who has a pretty brindle pattern on his fur. 7 months old and he tolerates my crazy barking play!

There is also a striking Black and Tan Manchester Terrier here but he’s not friendly. Our moms chatted and then laughed as we began to defend our space to each other! Two-leggers!

I think I can still sleep in a bit more, so back to my blankie for me! I can hear the rain and some thunder so I think I will be in JALE a bit today- road trip maybe!!

Day 4 – ended with a bath

So another day, some sunshine, some dogs met and some serious napping.
In the middle of it all, we went for a drive ( back into JALE for me) and then walked along this trail of wood.
It had done fun moments of rocks overlooking some trees…

20130806-062528.jpg

20130806-062545.jpg
You can see from out family portrait how much goofy fun we were having!

Then later…

20130806-062639.jpg
Apparently this “hand me down” life jacket from Boing did not need any adjusting at all. And we headed off into the crazy floating bowl.
Dad has some pics here I think:

There will be pics of me splashing about in the cool water, having fun etc. but we did not get photos of me getting a bath. Too many hands needed for the procedure! Mom brought the @pawsonearth über envirofriendly bar of soap I won a few months ago and … No more wet dog smell!
Curled up in my warm blanket in JALE while mom and dad played cards. Thank goodness for my Laurablanket for sleeping !
Zzzz
