Rest of Friday!
Yippee!! We made it to Dog Camp! It was a looooong drive to Lake Wenatchee
State Park where Maian Meadows Dog Camp is held at the Camp Fire Camp of Camp
Zanika. I LOVE going to Dog Camp! This camp, directed by Rebecca and her dog
Finn McCool (and now side kick Conall) is a camp for dogs and their people and
“just for fun”! Dogs come from all over
and Pacific North West to play with their people, other dogs, play games,
fetch, swim, hike eat camp food… just have a great time. www.maianmeadows.com
You should check it out and maybe
join us some time!
Anyway, Mama and I have been attending camp for years with our pals Ginny and Cross Tie, every June and September. It is most fun a dog can have!
So I was very excited to get
here. First thing I had to do was jump
in the lake for a good swim and game of fetch.
After greeting Rebecca and other old friends, off we went for a hike to
the Hidden Lake. I got to run and chase
squirrels and jump in the lake.
Wow! Three different lakes
today! This morning I was in Lake Coeur
d’Alene then this afternoon Lake Wenatchee and Hidden Lake! I am a swimming kind of dog!
After a brief rest while Mama unpacked and got our bunk area set up, we met up with the rest of the campers for dinner.

The humans get to eat in the dining
hall, it sure smells good, but us pups have to stay outside. What’s with that? Anyway, Mama always brings me a treat to go
with my dinner.
We had a nice fire after dinner, some
more visits, I got lots of petting and massages while Mama roasted
marshmallows, then off to bed for some needed rest. Well, Mama needed it, not me…. Well, maybe a
little rest…

Woke up early for a hike with the
group up to Hidden Lake again!
WooHoo! What a fun hike, chase
squirrels, swim in the lake. The log “bridge”
across the creek got destroyed over the winter, so the humans would not cross
through the water to get to the best swim/fetch area. So we played in the not so good area before
heading back for breakfast. Had to stay
outside again. Sheesh.

Then: GAMES!! There are lots of fun games with our humans
and we get prizes and treats! We played
doggy “baseball” and “lick the peanut butter” and “pooper scooper” and “dress
up” and other silly games. It is a lot
of fun!

You go, Hal!
Karoo lays quietly while Mama scoops up "poop" balls!
Then we played lots of fetch in the
lake. I love to fetch sticks in the
lake. The water is cold and Mama makes
me stop when I am shivering so hard I can hardly stand. But then we go hiking to warm me up so I can
play in the lake some more!
Back to bed for Mama needs some rest
again. Silly humans.

| Lokie says "You can still donate to the wonderful animal organizations!" |
Our total walking only came to about
70 miles, not quite our goal, but we have proven that “we may be seniors, but
we are not old yet”… but maybe not quite as young as we were! That’s ok.
We are still going strong and enjoying life and helping two wonderful
organizations with your nice donations.
Super thanks to all of you! And
remember: you can still donate!
That’s all for now!
Your puppy pal, Karoo
PS from Stacy: This is a sight never seen before... Karoo asleep in the car!! It only lasted about 10 minutes, quite amazing...
