Adventures With Cats, Cows and Squirrels!

I’ve been loving barking and chasing the cats, though I haven’t seen them for a while. Ben and Ruth were pretty unhappy with me but I’m discovering my space in this camp adventure. They put up one of those frustrating human baby door gates to help me learn…but it’s so much fun scaring those cats. They just won’t have any part of us extroverted dogs who have humans as our best friends…





I love going out with Ben on long hikes though Gyp likes to always walk ahead of us about 25 yards (this is what Ben tells me? 25 what?) with a stick in her mouth. I just can’t figure out why she does this? Well! I’ve got a story for you! 

We were walking along and I ran out and barked at a woman who was walking past us going the other direction and nipped at her legs to make her trot politely with our pack. She barked at Ben very loudly. Ben told her, I think, that I was born to herd…….COWS!

Let me tell you! Getting that woman to "Move Along" was like a "walk in the woods" compared to the dog days my brothers and sisters work in. My heritage runs deep, and I do what I gotta do...



I wondered during our walks, about the strange creaking trees around us, and kept a sharp eye out for intruders. I was one of the first to see and greet a noisy squirrel who didn't want to play with us and ran up a tree. Gyp and I tried to convince it to come down but she just barked at us…so much barking, so little talking.
