My weekend at camp

I have a new place to stay when my people are gone!

This Friday night, my people were up in Indianapolis overnight, so I stayed with my new buddie Rosie, who is a Lhasa Apso mix. Rosie's mom works with my mom and she invited me to come stay with them.

My mom had to go around Rosie's house and find all the things I would inevitably be able to find and eat before she would leave me. It was like a treasure hunt!

Another big old lab named Zeus stayed there too. The three of us are all "senior" dogs and we got along quite well. Rosie has a nice fenced-in backyard, and when we came in from outside, we always got a treat!

Rosie's mom even let me sleep in her bed. I was very comfy on the pillows. If my people let me sleep in bed, it's usually down at their feet. This was much better!


Rosie and I got along so well, that we decided to create our very own new sport: synchronized napping! Note the precision! The elegance and grace!

So I had a great weekend. My mom did too - she ran a 15K on Saturday! She had to walk mile 7, but she was proud of how she did. And she got to see her favorite presidential candidate in person - check out her blog if you're interested. She was very excited. But really my weekend was better. Treats, pillows, friends - my new camp!

Great. A pawfect weekend Lenny! And I've noticed just how long your legs are in your sychronised swimming, I mean sleeping, I'm green with envy....much easier for counter surfing.
Wiry wags new pal.

You sure looked comfy doin' all that snugglin' with Rosie? Maybe she's more than just a friend??? Many hearts will be broken, Lenny...mine included.

Tell ur mom she rocks...the day Mumsie would run a 15K...or ever run at all would be if a um tsunami was after her or something....

Barkin' at ya Len!!!

What a great place to be able to go to if your mom has to leave you.

Jake of Florida said...

Hi Lenny,

We go to camp too -- but it's a little different -- more like boarding at our favorite vet's -- but with lots of nice peope to take care of us.

Sounds like you had a great time.

Mom's from Philadelphia originally, so she's been watching the campaign in Pennsylvania with great interest. Glad your Mom is so active!! It's been a weird ride. Dogs might do better -- a bit of bitey face and it would be done!!

Kirby said...

Lenny,

Your new camp looks totally pawsome! I bet you Rosie and Zeus had the best time! Looks like you'll have a wonderful place to stay when Mom and/or Dad are out of time. Wooo Hooh!

Your pal,
Kirby
