Camp Four Paws
Clayton, CA (45 minutes away from Pleasanton)
She passed! We're going to leave Ginger there while we are in Hawaii. When she met Peaches, the camps dominant dog and main "interviewer", she "responded" in text book dog language! [Except for the unusually long staredown upon first meeting] She didn't pull on her leash, she didn't bark, growl or anything. She executed a perfect butt sniff (!) and then proceeded to play bow and ended up on her back in a very submissive role. Whew! :)
She's going to love it there. Bella Lai goes there when her parents go on extended vacations. They play outside for most of the day, which is a plus!
Puppy Playland,
San Ramon, CA (15 minutes away from Pleasanton)
She passed! Her interview was basically to release her to the hounds! There had to have been over 20 dogs. She was let into the room and she basically backed herself into a corner when all of the dogs crowded around her to check her (and us) out. My poor doggie! She looked so confused and scared when I looked back at her. But once she broke away from the pack and started running around and playing, she was fine. She also managed to meet her perfect play match! Aaawwww! She's so cute!

1 #1's...
I woke up hideously late (6:53 AM) today and only had time to let Ginger "go" in the backyard. Hopefully DH was able to take her out on a walk for 30 mins at least... [Note to self: must go to bed earlier and/or stop snoozing]
Camping was great! We all had a great time. NO MOSQUITOS! That was probably the main thing. The company of course was wonderful, too! And the food...! YUM! I just couldn't stop eating. DH and I made breakfast on that Saturday morning. We were up and ready to go by 6:30 but were told not to start for another hour b/c people really didn't wake up that early. Hmmm... they should all have dogs and/or kids! haha! We made Joe's Special, sausage, coffee cake, fresh fruit (cantelope, strawberries & blueberries). It turned out well. I think next time (hopefully there will be a next time!) I will make some sort of scramble and then a plain scramble egg dish. Oh well. Live and learn, eh? Jeff S. doesn't like mushrooms and didn't really think about likes/dislikes, etc. Oh well. :(
Ginger REALLY enjoyed herself as well! And she can swim! (and hump other dogs while swimming; DH thinks that she's just "after the ball..." yeah, right.) Sleeping in the tent was fun. Novel. LOVED having Ginger sleep with us. :)
Am looking forward to going camping again!

The usual updates...
2 #1's; 0 #2's
We're going camping next weekend. Yipee!!!!! Very much looking forward to it. The food part, especially. We will be prepping the ever boring breakfast, though... oh well. At least we can "relax" for dinner! On the menu: an egg scramble (possibly Joe's Special) and some sausage. I did, however, have a thought about making longanisa for the sausage... YUM! Garlic fried rice and eggs... ohhhhhh!
