Camping

We all love to go camping in the RV

And, of course, getting to hang out with our cousins at The Herd Annex.

We had a terrific weekend RVing at Big Ridge State Park even though weather was not always cooperative.  After some good rains overnight Saturday, we took advantage of a break in the weather to take a good Sunday morning walk.  Then, the Herd hung out on the picket line while the humans were getting things ready in the RV.

With everything loaded, The Herd took one last bathroom break and loaded up for the ride home.  Imagine the humans’ surprise when they went to bring Cheoah in and saw this (feel free to click on the picture to enlarge to get the full effect):

ready for fun

I have done everything I can to make the ride home fun.

Kiska sigh and then idea

Sigh.

long weekend

Hey, hu-dad, I have an idea. Let’s load up the RV and take off for a long weekend!

Cheesewhiz RV Face

Then we get the official Cheesewhiz RV Face!

Kiska has a terrific idea for the weekend, so we are loading up the RV and taking off to Big Ridge State Park near Knoxville, Tennessee. Besides, someone has a birthday tomorrow and we will be celebrating that. We promise pictures from our adventures!

Yesterday, was the first weekend day in a couple of weeks that was dry enough to go hiking, so we hit the trails. Do you think Cheoah was happy with that? Don’t forget that Cheoah is the Cherokee word for Otter. That might explain a few things.

might get wet

Good thing it isn’t raining, or I might get wet.

different

Because rain water is totally different than river water.

Otter

Besides, you humans were the ones who named me “Otter.”

dog logic

Dog Logic. Keep up.

Rainy days create lots of fun. Like when hu-dad, in his ever stylish sleepy pants, sat down in the floor to give Cheoah a little attention. The “hu-dad in the floor alarm” was sounded and Cheoah was no longer alone. The ending result was a puppy pile.

Really, this is love.

Once again, we have a cold, rainy weekend. The high all day was 43F, the fog was thick, and we had a drizzly rain. So what is the best way to spend such a day?

Napping on top of the hu-dad in front of the fireplace.

P.S. – No we can not explain the furry blanket that hu-dad is under, but it is comfortable.

Cheoah, are you a little nervous that Frankie might be stalking you?

Mentoring

Look at how sweet it is that Cheoah is mentoring Typhoon on hole digging.

Digging and teaching

Just patiently digging and teaching. Digging and teaching. Deeper and deeper.

Potential trouble.

Though that is going to cause a problem when hu-dad has to mow the dog lot with the tractor.

you can stop now

Ok, Cheoah, that is enough mentoring. You can stop now.

Life of the hu-dad.

The life of the hu-dad. Always being ignored.

Muddy yard

One of the great pleasures of spring is finding a really muddy spot in the yard.

Muddy fur

And, of course, mud means you can get it all in your furs.

Insopection

Frankie is doing a complete inspection of his muddy sister, Cheoah.

Hungry

Inspection over, notice that Frankie moves back to his crate just in case dinner might be served early. The boy is an eternal optimist.

pleased

Cheoah sure looks pleased with her games of the day

parti-eyes

And this happy close-up is a great chance to see that Cheoah has two parti-eyes. The left eye is half and half, and the right eye has just a dot of blue.
