Friday afternoon mom came home and loaded up the car and I got in. I was in the back seat with Hunter and mom and Skylar were in the front. They said we were going camping, which sounded like fun. We were in the car forever before I got out. It smelled great.
We were camping with a bunch of Girl Scouts (whatever those are), they all smell like Skylar and then there was a bunch of little boys there that smelled like Hunter but I don't think they call them Girl Scouts. Mom let me run around without a leash and smell everything. There were two other dogs there, too. Max, the tiny dog, he was a Shitzu and the cutest puppy I ever smelled, she ran me ragged. I can't remember her name but she was a 4 month old Golden Retriever. We all ran and hiked and sniffed. I climbed the side of a mountain with mom and the kids. It was awesome but I got tired so I went for a swim in Rock Creek, it had water in it and rocks so I am not sure what made it different from any other creek.
We got home on Sunday and I spent the rest of the day asleep.
I recommend camping for all doggies. I can't wait to do it again this weekend.

Swimming in the ditch at DNRC
Yesterday was a blast! Mom and I got in her car and drove off. She stopped at this cool place with a trail to run on and water. She made me wear the dumb jacket (but it turns out to be a good thing later). We got out of the car and I could smell tons of other dogs and could hear some, too. I got into the water and it was cold but since it was hot out it felt good. I could touch the bottom so it wasn't scary at all.
We walked next tot he water for a while and I fell in a couple of times. It was weird because if my feet didn't touch I could swim and the jacket kept pulling on me. One time I fell in and the water wasn't moving so I swam around but then I couldn't get out so I got scared. Mom grabbed the back of the jacket and helped me get out. I am not sure I want to do that again, but I still like the water.
Swimming is lots of fun and doesn't hurt my bum leg like running. I did do a bunch of that while we were out. My bum leg and my hip hurt a little today but otherwise I think it is getting better.
I have a new trick too! If I jump up and hit the handles on the door in my house I can get them open. That means nothing but the stairs is off limits to me. I will figure out how to open that gate eventually.

Bark for Life Walk 8/8/10 Photos
We had a wonderful time walking on Sunday. I got to go for a swim but mom wouldn't let me go out very far. She bought me a life jacket today and said I can do some real swimming this weekend. I was glad to get in the water because it was sooooo hot.
Here's some photos of us before and after the walk. (I even have one of dad.)

Dad, Nana and Dodger Dodger was excited to start but she's an old lady and got tired quick  I was exhausted, so mom put the seat down so I could relax  They made this for me. |

Bark for Life Walk 8/8/10
Mom and I will be walking to raise money for cancer. Let me know if you want to donate and I will send you my paypal info.
Mom and I have already raised $60, that's $30 each. If you want to join us the walk is at the Kim Williams Trail in Missoula, MT from 1-4pm on Sunday. Photos will follow!!!
Dear friends furry and not so much,
I am writing to tell you about a very cool event that my family just signed me up for called Bark For Life. It is a dog walk where for just $25; you and your person can join the fight against cancer — together!
This terrible disease takes our friends, both four-legged and two-legged, away from us far too soon. So, my human and I have decided to fight back.
On August 8, 2010, you will find us at McCormick Park and the Kim Williams Nature Trail walking with other dog lovers and the dogs who love them. I hope we will see you and your owner there too!
To register or for more information, please contact Sonya at 370-2459 or Emily at 532-8705.
While the American Cancer Society does not fund research to cancer that affects us four-legged folks, all the research they do will benefit us as well as our people!
I hope you will consider joining us for this fun event! See you on August 8th! Woof!
Sincerely,
J.R.
