I'm standing here outside the door...
This weekend was May Long Weekend, which meant there was no regular work on Monday for my humans! Dad had been away all week so it was just me 'n' Mom, she had to work for three days but then on Thursday she got real busy putting stuff in boxes again. Well I figured we must be going away again like the last time and I wasn't wrong, only this time I got my OWN suitcase!

Oh boy! Just look what I got to take... a whole tub of home made cookies (Mom made them the night before), two new balls, a HUUUUGE beef bone, spare collars and leashes, a new tie (more on
THAT in a minute), my very own bear bell and my regular toys. When we got to camp I was allowed to get all my things out, and we put the cookies in my very own camp cookie jar.
Dad arrived just as we did and they got busy bringing stuff in and sorting stuff out while I checked out all the rooms. Last time we came everything was deep under snow but now I could see there was lots of grass to run about on and lots of trees to...well you know, to do what dogs do with trees. After we got settled Mom put me on my long leash. Since I ran off and refused to come back right away a few weeks ago - I couldn't help it there was this bird that was wanting me to chase him - Mom says I can't be trusted. So until I grow up a bit and learn that I must come EVERY time Mom or Dad call then I have my off leash privileges temporarily suspended. I guess it didn't do me any favors when Mom gave me an extra long leash in training and when she called me I thought I would just see what would happen if I just stood still for a second and then walked off anyhow. Well she wasn't pleased I could tell cos there was no treat and no smiley "good boy"...she just looked at me with 'that' look and then walked off without a word. So there I was all weekend on a leash...hence the 30' tie for the yard. Next they attached this bear bell to my collar and so off we went. I jingled along like Noddy with Big Ears and Tessie Bear following on behind me - can you tell I'm a teenager now? Mom says I'm 'flakey' right now and she hopes I'll grow out of it soon...not sure what flakey is, hope it doesn't mean bits are falling off me - Yikes! Anyway we jingled along and went to the beach...now all the white stuff is gone I could see that there is a huge bowl of water there! Mom says it's called a lake and when it warms up we can swim in it...I tried it anyhow cos I don't like to wait for stuff, like I said I'm a teenager. Brrrrr!

Next day I played football for a bit, Mom and Dad were busy tidying the yard but each time they went past with the trolley of rubbish they stopped to play for a minute. We had more walks and I went in the lake again. There were lots of streams too and the water ran along so fast it gurgled...I liked that and had loads of fun trying to catch dead leaves that were being swept along in the water! In the afternoon Dad dug up a pipe cos he said it wasn't going downhill enough or something, I tried to help but he didn't seem too happy maybe he just wanted the one trench and not two side by side. So I got moved to somewhere where I could have a good old dig and nobody minded!

I really think I am going to like this camp thing! I get to do so much and in the evening I'm just so tired I get to snuggle down on my very own camp bed and in the morning I even get to have a snuggle with Mom (Dad took this pic and I think Mom will be chasing both of us when she see's I showed you all!)
