Family vacation

When Mom told me we were going on a vacation I thought OH YEAH we'll be in the camper again!! I was so wrong on that thought.  I didn't realize we'd be in the car for 10 hours which turned into 12 hours due to something called construction.  BUT Mom said I did really well traveling.  We stopped a couple of times for potty stops and to eat lunch.  Mom had packed a picnic lunch for all of us so when we got hungry we just pulled over into a scenic overlook. It was really pretty as it looked over a small lake.  I don't remember the name of the lake but if you are ever headed for Price UT I'm sure you'll see it on the interstate.  Here is a picture Mom took of us on the road..

We had just started out on the trip at 5AM. Now who would start a vacation at that time of morning.  NOT me that is for sure so I just settled in for a llllllllllloooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg morning nap.  

While we were on vacation Dad did some shooting at something called a SASS Cowboy Action shoot.  I guess he shoots guns at targets.  Some of the guns are VERY loud and scared me but after I got use to the noise it was fine.  Of course I got to go along to the event and as usual I was the hit of the shoot..People would hold me and make over me so much I LOVED IT!!.  Here are a few pictures of where Dad was shooting.

The buildings all looked like real places

This is he posse Dad was shooting with

  I don't remember if Mom has mentioned how much I love to watch ants and trail them on our sidewalk at home but I think they are so fun to watch and I admit I have sniffed a few and they are so tiny they go up my nose which causes a sneezing fit.  BUT Mom kept telling me not to do that to these ants as they were BIG.  As you can see I dropped a piece of my food and these guys were taking it away!!

We saw and did lots of neat things but I want to leave you with this last picture of me headed home..Yes I am one very tired puppy.  Can't wait to see brother cat and my sister cat!

Softball tournament

On July 11th I got to meet the rest of my family.  We traveled about 2 hours to another town called Hastings to watch my nieces (human of course) play softball in their state tournament.  Now I heard it was a good time but I don't know for sure as the complex would not let dogs inside so I had to stay in the camper and wait for everyone to come back. Once the games were done I was held ALOT everyone thought I was so cute and lovable!!  The middle of that week I realized I've been with Mom and Dad for a month!! My how time does fly.

Mom was able to capture a video of me barking inside my tent.  Well I guess it's really not mine but Snowball's but he lets me play in it.  I love to get in the tent and bark and scratch. I'm barking at the shadows I see on the inside and I'm scratching at the sides too.  Once in a while I'll jump up to try to get the top or I'll pull on the floor and move the tent across the floor..today I just wanted to bark. Enjoy the video..

Happy 4th of July

Mom told me that I might get scared today but I didn't understand why. Then she told me it was the 4th of July and what that meant.  Okay so why would I be afraid of a firecracker or two.  I've heard them going off the last few days and they haven't bothered me.  BUT then I heard the big booms about dark and I was having none of that.  My little legs might be short but I can move fast when needed. 

She thought a picture of me with her center piece would be nice.  It took her a few times to get this picture as I was not going to sit still for another picture to be taken.  I have learned when the little silver box comes out and a thing on the front of it moves out to quit doing what ever "cute" thing I was doing.  That makes her put the little box I think she calls a camera away.  Today I think she was trying to get me to sit however.  I finally gave up and let her take the picture.  Of course brother was telling me run..NOW but she kept catching me.  In the next picture you can see where he's making his escape!!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July and enjoyed the fireworks..ME I went to bed with Dad after they watched a few.  I stayed inside under my blanket for protection while they were outside. I really didn't need the protection I just like my blanket!!
