Valley Forge: and only just recovering

I've been trying to get enough energy to update my blog since Sunday but that five mile loop I did at Valley Forge with the bipeds on Saturday really knocked the wind out of me. 

Here are some of the highlights:

• I got to go in the car - I love the car!  I would stay in the car all day, every day if they let me.
• Valley Forge is my most favorite park in the world - there is lots to see, smell and chase.
• The weather was absolutely glorious - I hope that doesn't come across as too gushy but it's been awhile since we had beautiful sunny days that aren't too hot and no humidity.
• We saw a "herd" of Jack Russell Terriers walking with their bipeds - there were lots of the little guys!  My bipeds wouldn't let me stop to say hi, we'll catch up next time guys...
• There were LOTS of other doggies out for the day and everyone had their tails wagging!

Well, better go back to sleep - I need to save my energy for my evening trot around the neighborhood.

Minnie: and the pet snake

One thing you probably don't know about me, is I'm almost totally deaf - the old age is creeping in... I say almost deaf because I can hear high pitched screeches which is exactly what woke me from my afternoon kip today.

Here I was dozing in my comfy bed, basking in the afternoon sun, dreaming of the wild turkeys I saw over the weekend when Minnie should appear making a low pitched growling noise (I'm imagining that part because I didn't really hear it, but that's what Minnie does when she catches wildlife).  The next thing I know, the girl biped is screaming at the top of her voice as Min presents her with her latest catch - a live snake...  I don't think I've seen the girl move so fast, I didn't even get a chance to have a sniff but at least I have the photos to prove it.

By the way, I'm sure that the girl is going to tell everyone it was a enormous deadly python but as you can see, it was just a little one.

Off to calm everyone down and do a perimeter search.

Maryland: and a road trip for three

I have to be the luckiest doggie in the world.  I got to go on a road trip with the bipeds and we even stayed over!  The boy biped started a new job today, so we packed up the car on Friday and headed to a dog friendly inn on the eastern shore of Maryland.  

We went for a long walk along the shoreline before dinner. Despite all the talk about bad weather, it was a lovely warm sunny day.  I was really keen on having a swim but they said no :-(  I was also pretty excited about playing with the resident Poodle but the bipeds said my social skills aren't that good with other dogs - party poopers.

Here is the view from our room, isn't it beautiful:

I always try to make the most of a photo op - here I'm sitting on the "dog bed":

As we left the inn, look what we saw wandering around a field - gobble, gobble, gobble:
Gotta go, I need to catch up with my beauty sleep - road trips are tiring...

Something for the girl biped...

My Favorite Walk - what I see...

New Camera

The girl biped has a new camera and she's been trying it out on us...

Minnie's a real attention seeker....
Me, I'm more of the quiet confident type....

Later
