Vacation Photos

We're back!!!! What fun we had. But a lot happened to all my doggie friends while I was gone....Tank got attacked! Bijou had a playdate with a boy dog! Phantom had surgery!!!! Oh my !!!!

It has been determined I am definitely a beach dog. That is where I belong....I don't belong in the suburbs - I belong on the beach!!!!!

Now here are a few more photos

We left on Thursday and went to Marietta GA - which is where my daddy's family is from. both sides of his family were original Georgia settlers. They were involved in the original settling of Cobb County - Every year they have something called "Camp Meeting" This was the 173rd year for the camp meeting....if you want to know more about it you can go to their website - MARIETTA CAMP MEETING - We stayed in the "tent" - which is really more of a cabin. They are pretty rustic - although they have been upgraded to have electricity, running water and a bathroom. There is however, no wi-fi connection or airconditioning. Fortunately it was in the 60's at night [most unusual] so we were comfortable at night.





CampMeeting


I was the ONLY doggie there!!!! I even went to the church service - that is until I saw a squirrel and tried to break loose - so mommy and I went to the "tent" and sat out the service. Daddy's nephew is getting married in the arbor on August 15 - it will probably be hot as H.E. double LL - I am going to stay with Susanne that week-end. And I'm glad for that because it becomes a little tiresome having to be on the leash constantly!

Oh yeah - I forgot - check out this black squirrel -

    Checkers, it is good to have you back! I missed you but am glad you had such a great time. What did you think when you saw that armadillo? Did you chase it? And, a black squirrel? Did you chase that?

    Checkers it is so good to have you back. You saw some cool animals. I don't like the alligator part though. I hope you are catching up on your sleep.

    Thanks for sharin' the vacation photos. Black squirrels are BIG in Alberta, Canada - btw. They're all over the place at the park near Eau Claire Market.

    Well, you really saw a lot of interesting wild life.
    Including your wild gal, Livy!

    Take care ...

    Checkers,

    Great pictures of wild life and wild child! haha! I've never seen a black squirrel before! Does that squirrel have a white face? Maybe his name is Checkers the Squirrel? My mom says the only armidillos she's seen in real life are squished on the side of the road. Nice to see an inflated one :P
