LAST BLOG BEFORE I GET HOME TODAY!! THIS IS SANTEE, SOUTH CAROLINA! WATER PLAY TIME FOR ME!!! HURRAY!!!

This is a gorgeous beach, right where we were camped.  It was FILLED with shells of all kinds.

I finally got to go swimming again!!!  There were lots of sticks for me to chase-and I had SUCH a good time!!!

Sniffing all the good smells!!  I am only allowed to sniff on my Flexi lead,-that we use for play.  There were literally thousands of shells to check out.

 

Taking a rest on a big log with my dad, at the beach.  There was lots of driftwood around too.  Made the beach so interesting to explore.

Here I am, back in the water!!

This is the skeleton  and head of a VERY big fish!!!I thought it smelled wonderful!!!  My mom--not so much!!

Just posing for a picture, by some very cool trees on the beach!

Look carefully!!  There is a HUGE spider in the middle of a HUGE web!!!  My mom wouldn't go any closer to take a picture.  I thought it was  pretty cool!!  So did my dad,  Not so my mom!  She's not a fan of creepy critters!!!

So-o-o that's about it for now. folks!!  We arrive home in 2 1/2 hours,-and my mom said we have LOTS of work to do.  I don't think she means me--I'm going visiting to our neighbors.  I'm sure they have missed me a whole lot!!!

OK!!! NOW YOU'RE TALKING MY LANGUAGE!!!

Well-this isn't the order my mom posted these pics,-maybe because we are traveling, and bouncing all over in the  truck!!  Here I am at a wonderful pet playground, at our campsite in Gettysburg.  This is kind of like a stationary teeter totter.  I really liked running over it!

I'm not so crazy about this regular teeter totter!  It wouldn't stay still!

Nope!  I'm all done with the teeter-totter!  Not even for treats!

This is an overview of the Pet Playground.  There are lots of hanging baskets all around, with Impatiens and Begonias.

This is a pretty cool doghouse log cabin!!

This is like an A frame roof to climb on.  Hmm not sure I want to do this---It's a pretty red and yellow color, tho.

OK!  I'll give it a try!

Nah--!!  I'll just run around to the side, and get my treat that way!!  Why go to all the problem of CLIMBING when I can just walk around it!!

My dad-being a good doggie citizen, picking up after some other dog.  'It wasn't me!!!!'

This is our campground in Gettysburg-

This is our very cool campsite!!!  We had a really good time here-AFTER we got done with the Museum!!!

I'm only up here waiting to get groomed!!!

OK,- YAWN!!! -So I am not a history buff!!!

OK, so today wasn't my favorite day!!  BIG YAWN!   My mom and dad drug me to the Gettysburg National Military Park.  Here I am with Good Ole Abe!! 

 I'm looking at a bunch of stuff from the war.  Well, I am SUPPOSE to be looking at it!! Civil War guns and uniforms. 

This is one BIG A** (I am suppose to mind my manners!!) HORSE!!

Pretty darn big canon!!

 

Yet another flag!!!

Gee, Dad-same  canon!! -can we move it along??! 

YUP!!  I am still here!!!

I'm done!!!  Let's go home!!!

 Party in the RV!!  11 people, 3 pups, and me!!!

Whew!!!  We left New York today for Gettysburg, Pa.  Time for some R&R!!!!

I've been so busy,-it's a hard life for a pup!!!  After leaving Berwick, Maine-we arrived in West Willington, CT.  We saw our family, met some new friends,-and some of my mom's guide pups.  Then-I went to a party, where there were LOTS of guide dogs and fosters!  It was SO much fun!!  But something bad happened to me,-I got attacked by a boxer/pitbull.  I screamed and screamed for the dog to let me loose.  My dad finally pried me out of the dogs mouth, and I took off and ran!!  My Auntie Karen took off running after me, and scooped me up.  I was hurt and shaking,-and my mom was terrified.  After I calmed down, I enjoyed the rest of the party.  The next day, however,-I was hurting a lot,-my neck was soaking wet, and I had a very big lump.  Off to the ER vet we went.  I had a bad puncture wound into the tissue.  The vet fixed me all up,-and  now I just have a little lump.  It hurt a WHOLE lot at the vet, tho.  He thought giving me a cookie would make me forgive him.  I think it was more like a 2 cookie visit!!   So-I had to go to the Freedom Open House with a shaved spot on my beautiful black fur!!  The Open Kennel was a blast,-I made tons of friends.  There were several of my friends from CT. that came to New York to pick up a pup from the 'V' litter,  everyone was so excited!!  It was great fun!!!  I loved seeing my first home, and Eric and Sharon.  I was good-and I didn't jump on them!!  Freedom is a wonderful organization, and I am so proud to be their puppy!!  Later on, all of our friends gathered in our RV, and we had a blast!!

Now, -I am in Gettysburg, relaxing from all my travels!!  I think my training is coming along well.  My mom finally convinced me that jumping on the sofa and bed isn't a good thing,-I don't bark,-and I LOVE kids!!  It's really great fun being me!!!

Vacation is almost over!!

My new friends!

These are my new friends, that I made in our campground.  They are triplets!!  I think that's pretty cool, -kind of like a litter of kids!   They think I am very handsome!!
