How is that comfortable?

McDowell State Park

Well below is the horrible suffering of the dogs on these camping trips. Viewer descretion is advised.

Watching the sunrise, ruffing it (ha)... anyone want Chow bookends?

Rest Area Birds and hunting dogs

Still too freakin' cold.

I don't think I'll be camping anytime soon. It's or I'm just too cold. This weekend though maybe I'll take the dogs around here.

Jake's shoes

Jake has always been fat. He was a fat puppy and he's a fat puppy now. I bought diet dog food but it didn't change a thing. The vet admondished me about his weight and then gave him a treat. Which he spit back out and it landed on her foot. She said "oh you're fresh." So old Jake doesn't like to go the vets.
To get to the point Jake broke one of his toes wrestling with his sister when he was about two. Now he is a little bit tender footed. So to help him in our travels... I found a DIY website for big dog shoes. eBay only sells fancy shoes for show dogs or they are too small. So after an hour of dog torture, duct tape, old socks and shoe laces.... I never used them they are just too goofy.

Camping in winter

Well it's been just to darned cold lately. But we'll toughen up and maybe go next weekend.

Our adventure

The first picture is of my eight year old puppy trying to figure what all that quacking (ducks) is about and showing a little independence from the campsite. Wet dogs... they didn't actually swim but they got in the water with their very proud father for the first time. Also for fat dogs walking in the water is exhausting. Last picture is of the master carpenter with a hammer... who missed the tent stake.
