2nd Day at Camp Hughes

Well, today was a pretty good day at camp! My camp director, Bonnie, told me I had to eat my breakfast because we had a big day ahead of us. We went on a long hike this morning, and saw bicycles and joggers and all kinds of neato smells. Mocha and Amos went too, and Uncle John came too. Wink doesn't hike. I'm starting to like her more. Mocha and I play a lot, but I think Amos is a lot of fun to wrestle with too. After some rest time, we did some crafts and sang songs. I hope we get to have a campfire tonight. I don't really know where mom and dad and grammie are, but this has been a very fun camp. We don't sleep in tents though, since I brought my crate along. Besides it's kinda hot out, and so it's nice to have air-conditioning. I miss my mommie and daddie a little bit, but this camp has been so much fun that I don't miss them very much. I have written these blogs so mommie doesn't worry about me. I'm having so much fun I hope I get to stay a lot longer! I'm sending a couple of pictures tonight. I think I wore Mocha out finally. And then I had to have a nap too.

I'm at CAMP HUGHES!

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I wrote last, and a lot has happened. But right now, I'm at CAMP! My camp counselor is Bonnie, and she is Mocha's mom. Me and Mocha visit together as therapy dogs at Lovelace Rehab every other week.

So mom and dad are taking a little vacation this weekend, and *I* got to go to CAMP! It's my first time here, so I'm not quite sure what to expect. Our first activity was WRESTLING. Me and Mocha wrestled a while, and then Amos got to wrestle too. Both of them are Labradoodles, or Poobahdors, or some such breed. Anyway, they are both bigger than me. Wink is a little French Bulldog, and she is kind of snooty sometimes, and doesn't wrestle a whole lot.

After wrestling, Bonnie took our pictures so you could see how nice we are together. That's Mocha, the brown dog, and Amos the black dog, and me in the middle.

Tonight after supper, we went for a HIKE! Our other counselor, John, helped out and we went a whole mile. I had a lot of fun. Now I wonder if we get to do crafts tomorrow? or go swimming? or sing songs? This should be fun. I wonder if we sleep outside? Mom brought my crate and my suitcase. I picked out three of my favorite toys so if I ever get bored, we can play with those.

Well, it's about time for bed, so we'll sing taps.........

My first Photo Shute

Not long ago, mom took me to see a long-time friend of hers. Her name is also Debbie. She has turned out to be a mighty-fine photographer, and she took some really nice photos of ME. She said she needed "practice" but I think she is already fan-tastic. I'm Ricky Potter there! That's cuz I'm still studying for my Therapy Dog test. I hope I can pass it. I've been working reel hard to get ready for it. You can see more of Debbie's photos here!
