Why Go Camping?

Our humans are often asked why they would load six Siberian Huskies into an RV to go camping for the weekend.  Would it be the fresh air?  The relaxing hikes?  Sitting around the campfire?  Or would it be . . .

The Peace and Quiet of Camping?

    Looks like someone got into the Benadryl. ;)

    Tell the truth – are you sure you didn’t just want to pitch a tent?

    I say all of the above. It’s so nice to just get out and get away from it all. Even though I’ve never been camping, the serenity of the woods is something that I long for if I haven’t been there in a while.

    What a peaceful time! Lovely picture and beautiful HERD.

    By the way, please bear with me that I’m a computer retarded person here. I want to follow you on the blog but somehow couldn’t find the right way to do it. I don’t have facebook and am not bothered to make one so I can’t join your fan club.

    We have only 2 or 3 dogs at a time in our family, and we get asked the same question… Many people leave their dogs home when they go camping. What a travesty! There wouldn’t be any peace and quiet :)

    Hmm. Is that part of that whole “A tired Sibe is a good Sibe” thing?

    That is actually quite a beawoootiful picture. Momma likes it! She says she wants to lay her head in their fluff and take a shnooze herself.

    Nothing like a long hike and camping to mellow out the dogs!

    you don’t fool us. there’s no way you’d have six craziberians if you didn’t like the noise. no. you go camping so you can give your neighbors (the bears, the skiers, the squirrels) a break! ;)

    Wild Dingo may be on to something there, but if we lived near an area as beautiful as yours, we would love to go camping too. There really is something to be said about the “quiet” of nature.
