I did agility again last weekend but I didn’t run very fast. It was sunny outside when I ran and I didn’t really want to run when it was too warm. I did good though and the Mum gave me lots of tuna brownies and liver treats too, which I really like.

I still with that we could go to camp more often because it was fun. This picture is of me, Levi and Jet when we were on our way down to the beach to run around and play. The beach was fun and I want to go back. The Mum says I should learn to swim, though, and I really don’t want to! Just because Levi got pushed off the pier and into the water because I accidentally bumped him… she says I should learn to swim too so if something like that happens to me, I can swim out. I just say, no pushing in the water for me!

Instead I think maybe I’ll buy the Mum some hp laserjet ink cartridges so she can print out all the cool pictures she took of us at camp!

This weekend I’m doing agility with the Mum again. And it’s okay kinda fun, but I liked going to camp better. I want to go back every month, or every week, or just live there, but the Mum says we can’t. We can’t afford it with money (whatever that is) and then it also gets cold and snowy in the winter and the Mum doesn’t like that very much either.

So we are back from camp and we get to go to the park and do agilities and stuff, but it’s not nearly as fun as camp was. Mum says we can go back next year, and play on the pier again, and run around on the beach and in the camp and have fun. But for now we have to live in our house and sleep on the comfy beds and make the best of walks and the park. Which is okay because I still love the Mum and the Dad and the rest of the dogs here and we have fun and eat good food and yum treats.

Maybe we could get a steel drum and do some drum circles in the back yard and call the calm and peace of the forests of Lake Tahoe to visit us here, too.

Today at camp me and Jet got the Mum up super early in the morning again so we could go run around a lot and play. I did all my good play moves for Jet and we ran and zoomed around on our way down to the beach. Can we live here? It would be the best!

Then the Mum and me tried this thing called carting. Or sometimes it’s called drafting. There’s lots of working dogs that do it, and sometimes collies like me, too. The Mum always wanted me to try it but didn’t have a harness or cart at home. So we got to today, and it was kinda fun! And the Mum said that I was the best of any of the dogs, even Levi and Jet! So the Mum says maybe she’ll have to buy me a cart and we can do some carting at home, that’d be kinda fun but I’ll have to get used to pulling the thing around! Maybe I can do some Room Director Jobs and boss people around and make some money to buy a cart!

Here are some other pictures from camp today.

The Mum is the coolest Mum in the world know why? She took us to camp! It’s everything she promised and more. Me and Jet got her up really early this morning so we could go out and play on the beach. We are in Lake Tahoe in Nevada, and a 4H camp with lots of other dogs. It’s so way super fun!

There lots of Goldens and Border Collies and even another collie! Her names is Georgia and she’s a rough tri and really pretty and fun to play with! Me and Jet and Levi are here. This morning we went on a fun hike around the camp, then went to play on the beach and get our pictures taken. Me and Levi know how to escape the xpen porch the Mum put up, but she’s made it trickier now for us to get out!

Here are some more pictures:

I am having so very much fun. I got so tired at the beach that I got a little nervous and stopped eating the Mum’s tuna brownies. But that’s okay because we can have lots of rest time too. Maybe some equestrian boots would be good for Mum at the beach so her feet don’t get wet, but maybe sandals will be better!

So the Mum is telling me that in a couple of months we get to go to a place called Camp Winnaribbun. It’s in a place called Lake Tahoe and there’s lots of dogs there, and trees, and a lake to swim in even though I don’t swim. Swimming is for weird dogs like Jet, but Jet gets to come to camp too. The Mum says that me, Jet and Levi all get to go to camp. Most times people are only supposed to bring two dogs, but she paid a little extra and is bringing three of us. Mum says she can’t bear to leave Levi home, since he’s been before and had a really good time too.

Below I put some pictures that Mum has from the last couple of times she went to camp. The first one is of my friends Zoe and Twist on the beach of Lake Tahoe. Doesn’t it look pretty and fun! The Mum says there are no jobs there, no driving jobs either, it’s just all relaxing and playing with other dogs. I’m really excited to be going! The Mum is too, and really is looking forward to sitting around and doing a lot of relaxing.

The Mum says she and Levi might sit around a lot, while me and Jet run around a lot. And that’d be really fun too! I like to run, and the beach will be great even if I don’t swim. I’ll just play with the other dogs! It sounds like doggie heaven to me!
