My Saturday was a BUST! I was planning to go on a bike ride with Ma and Daddy-dog but it rained all day long and we all know this terrier does not like to get wet. So we did some chores (boring) and them watched a movie.
However, Sunday was great! The sun was shining and I overheard Ma and Daddy-dog talking that they needed to set up the tent to make sure it was in good condition so we could go on a Dog-Friendly Florida camping adventure. You know I made sure to get in on the action (I am such a buttinsky sometimes)!

| OK...floor saver is set. |
 |
| I found the front corner! |
 |
| Making initial inspection. |
 |
| Setting the corners |
 |
| This will be MY spot! |
Everything was perfect. I was all set to go on my camping adventure when Ma and Daddy-dog said something disappointing:
 |
| What do you mean I have to wait until NEXT weekend? |
I cannot wait to find out where my Dog-Friendly Florida camping trip will be to next weekend. But, going camping means that I will have to miss out on another Dog-Friendly Florida adventure:
Pookie's Rescue Fest in Maitland, Florida
Pookie's will be hosting their 5th annual fundraiser and adoption day to benefit local non-profit animal rescue groups on January 26, 2013 at Lake Lily Park and the Maitland Civic Center (from Pookie's Rescue Fest website). And guess who will be there...Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network. Unfortunately, I am going to miss out on meeting some of my Cairn Terrier cousins but you don't have to.
You will be able to spot CPCRN's booth because the "yellow brick road" will lead you right to them. They will have a LIFE-size Dorothy (from the 'Wizard of Oz' - duh!); you can have your photo taken with Dorothy and a REAL-life Toto since there will be 6 Cairn Terriers there - all of whom, by the way, are alumni of Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network.
There's going to be lots of other stuff at the booth too, including some gift baskets that will be raffled off. So...If you are up near Maitland, FL on the 26th between 10 am and 4 pm, you can go to Pookie's Rescue Fest and visit the Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network tent/booth (as well as tents/booths of other rescues and shelters - let me not be rude!)
I, on the other paw, will be hanging out in the "big travel crate" (the tent) somewhere in the Florida wilderness practicing my best wolf impression. Aroooooooo! But I will be thinking of CPCRN and I will have my paws crossed for Honora - here's to hoping she finds a forever home!
Today I have joined the first ever Florida Bloggers Blog Hop - thank you Christie at Life with Beagle for creating and hosting this hop! Hello fellow Florida Bloggers!
I'm looking forward to another great week!
That tent looks like SO MUCH FUN! I bet you will love camping.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
I LOVE tents! They are like a giant crate that the whole pack can sleep in!
DeleteBeautiful pictures of you and that tent. I wanted to say that we haven't forgotten about posting your wonderful award that you gave us, it's just that HH has been hogging the blog with the 30 paintings in 30 days postings. We'll appreciate the award and will post about it as soon as HH completes the paintings. And, thanks for the head's up about the florida bloggers.. gonna check that out.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
hugs, Max, Bugsy and Knuckles
Hi Max, Bugsy and Knuckles!! I completely understand and HH is doing a fantastic job on her 30 for 30 paintings! Glad to know you haven't forgotten your award...you deserve it!
DeleteYeah, I gotta pop over there and get my link in!
Sigh...I has nevers been campin' cuz my mum has some aversion to bugs and hers WILL NOT go campin'. Her do be a kill joy. Sooooooo, if you evers needs somebuddy to join you just goves me holler.
ReplyDeletePuddles
Never been camping? Oh dear, Puddles...I think you are missing out! My mom doesn't "like" bugs either but we have her trained pretty well now. BOL If I ever need a camping buddy I will surely give you a holler!
DeleteYour camping trip sounds like fun. We could probably never take Rita camping - she'd bark at every little sound in the night and annoy all the other campers. THere would be no "happy campers" with her around I fear!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your adventure. We will live vicariously through you!
Yes, well I am a barker too. I think Ma and Daddy-dog have their fingers crossed that I behave. I am usually good but it has been a while since I've been camping. I guess we will find out soon enough!
Deletesorry, I am just enjoying looking at your GREEN GRASS lol. It is BITTER and gray here :)
ReplyDeleteBOL! I can send you some green grass, some sunshine...you just let me know! I don't mind sharing!
DeleteHiya Oz...Momz took her other dogs camping but never me...Iz thinks I'm missing out on some big dawgie fun here :( The Rescue event in Maitland sounds like a great day, but Momz is working on Saturday...another bummer...BUT she's already promised to take me to the Davis Dog Beach in Tampa on Sunday and my girl Sparky is coming so it should be fun
ReplyDeleteHi Gizmo!! I thinks you ARE missing out pal! What the dog?!? Why wouldn't she take you camping?? Hmmm, I'm gonna have to talk to her about that when we see each other next month.
DeleteThe rescue event DOES sound like a great day, but we were already scheduled for our camping adventure so...
You let me know how the new dog beach is, will ya?!?
I'll be flying over Florida in a day or so. I'll stop by if you want to go for a cruise in my spaceship.
ReplyDeleteYours,
A ride in your spaceship?! Oh yes, please Alien! I would love that!
DeleteSorry to hear that your Saturday adventure got rained out, Oz. But you sure did a great job helping with that tent! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, pal! I love the tent! I cannot wait for my camping adventure!
DeleteToo much rain...sorry yu' day ruined. You have to tell us all about your adventure...Be careful now!
ReplyDeletePurrs, Miss kitty
Oh Miss Kitty, I will be very careful. I will also come back with a full report on my adventure!
DeleteGood job helping your puppy parents with that tent Oz! I like your spot, looks comfy and warm!! Wowwee, a doggie friendly camping trip? Sounds super fun! Make sure to take lots of photos! :-) Sorry it rained (I hate the rain too) on Saturday but I hope that it stays away for a long time!!
ReplyDeleteHi Goose. The spot was comfy and warm though I think, where we are going for our adventure, it may be "cool" or even "cold". I will have to MAKE a warm spot and then not give it up to Ma or Daddy-dog. BOL
DeleteYou are so lucky to get to go on a camping trip! That sounds like so much fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, paws crossed...I hope we have a great time. You could come, you know. The more the merrier, they say.
DeleteWhat an awesome adventure!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope so, Rem! I hope so!
DeleteAhh man! A dog FRIENDLY camping adventure! That sounds M-azing! Sorry you guys couldn't goon your bike trip and had to do the dreaded chores! What a downer!
ReplyDeleteI wish we could've gone on our bike ride too. I love hangin' ten outta my basket! Hopefully, we will get to go another day. I cannot wait for the camping trip! So excited!
DeleteThe tent look pawsome Oz....i likes a nice bit of campin myself....as Claptun say, wotch out for da gators....
ReplyDeleteI shall watch out for gators, Marley. I promise. And I'll take lots of photos of our adventures.
DeleteOz...You are too cute!!!! My favorite pics from this post are "the intial inspection" and "this will be MY spot." Have a great time on your camping trip. Woof woof always...
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I love my spot because I can see out the window!
DeleteYou were all set up and then they said No? How disappointing buddy, now we'll have to wait until next week to see where you go - Have fun,
ReplyDeleteYour pal Snoopy :)
Yep! Can you believe it?!? But I'm very excited about this weekend! Can't wait!
DeleteYou know I completely forgot about the rescue fest! I have to make plans to stop by this weekend!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are a brave dog, Oz. You could never get me to go camping. I like environmentally-controlled places. :)
Thanks for stopping by the Florida Blogger Blog Hop. We'll see you next week.
Christie from lifewithbeagle.com
Hi Christie!! Oh! I'm so glad my post reminded you about the rescue fest! If you stop by CPCRN, tell them Oz sent you. BOL
DeleteHere's hoping the weather cooperates for your camping trip! I can't wait to see what you're off to sniff.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy!!! Oh, we have paws crossed for good weather i.e. no rain. We already know that it will be chilly so that means...we are not sticking around South Florida. I can't wait to find out where we are going!
DeleteWhat a dream weekend! We love to hike too, but haven't done the camping (which I'm sure Penny would love). Thanks for lal the fun photos!
