Camp Dogwood!

Today my humans drove me to Camp Dogwood! I had to get up really early, but I got to sleep in the car. When we got to the camp there were so many new smells, I didn't know what to smell first! We had breakfast and my human gave me part of a cinnamon bun. Mmmmmm! My other human said not to, but I got it anyway.

First we went to the beach. Here's a picture of me lying in the water.

Ahhhhh, cool. I got to play with a tennis ball. Here's a picture of me in the water with my tennis ball.

I left it there. I don't really like tennis balls that much because they get all soggy and sandy and they feel gritty on my tongue. Here's a picture of me jumping on the beach.

I can jump really high.

Then we went up to a big field and did some recall training. It didn't make much sense to me and my human kept getting confused with which way to go. Nobody asked me if I recalled anything. But I got lots of treats and the trainer fed me hot dogs. Mmmmmmm! Hot dogs!

Then we walked all the way across camp and I did some tracking. My human walked away and put a flag in the ground with a glove and then hid in the bushes and I had to find the glove she left behind. It was easy to find the glove because she put chicken on it and I can smell chicken from miles away! Mmmmmm! Chicken! My human wasn't very good at hiding either. And she wore an orange shirt. Um, here's a tip, if you want to hide in the woods, don't wear orange.

Then we went to the Lure Coursing field. We walked onto the field and a plastic bag came shooting at me. I don't like that! It tried to get me! I ducked and did a tail tuck. Then they took the plastic bag away and tied a pice of fur on the wire and dragged it around. I didn't see the point and I didn't like all the noises the pulleys made. Can we go please?

We took a break for lunch and I got some steak. MMMMMMM! Steak!! After lunch my humans took me into a big room and I took the Canine Good Citizen test. Hey! Nobody told me there would be a test! Hmph! I passed, but I still think I should have been told.

After I passed my CGC test, my one human went to get a massage. What about me? I like massages too! Did I get a massage? No. I had to go with my other human to a seminar on grooming. At least I got to sleep through most of it. I was really tired. I think my humans were tired too, because after that we went home.

On the way home we stopped at Dunkin Donuts and my human gave me a piece of pumpkin donut. Mmmmmm! I liked Camp Dogwood because there were lots of other dogs and lots of smells and I got lots of treats. And I liked the beach even though there were lots of weeds in it. I give Camp Dogwood 3 Paws, but it would be better if I didn't have to get up so early to go there. And next time I want a massage.
