Hiking in Shenandoah

Last week Mom and Dad took their human granddaughter, Savannah on a hike in Shenandoah National Park. They hiked 1.4 miles to Dark Hollow Falls and back. The picture above is "Momma Bear." My humans met her on the way back up. She had a little cub with her. Mom did not get a good picture of "baby cub." Mom says, "humans must respect wild animals especially those with babies." Keeping a good distance is very important. I am thankful Dad bought Mom a great camera a few years ago. She can usually get good pictures without getting too close. My furry brothers and I would NOT want Dad to leave Mom in the woods with the wild animals.

What adventures have you been on lately?

The Scenic Route

Last Monday, Nanuq took dad to Ceaderfield Health Care facility. When they arrived, Dad wasn't sure which door he was to enter. Dad and Nanuq toured most of the facility before they came to the room they were to visit patients in. Dad talked to the patients in the room about Nanuq being old, having arthritis, and understanding how they felt. The patients loved him. 

During their walk Nanuq visited with "many" people. These people were not able to attend Nanuq's meeting. Dad thought he messed up by parking where he did. He did not mess up. He took the scenic route and in doing so brought joy to many other people.

When GOD has you on the scenic route, do you recognize and enjoy the journey?

Traveling Chickens?

Mom and Dad visited "Sunny Dale" farm this weekend to watch their human daughter, Lauren ride her young horse Keyo for the first time. While they were there, Mom noticed the chickens and their home. They have quite the set up. My fur brothers and I wonder if they get to go on trips in their camper? Mom and Dad don't think they are traveling chickens, but they could be!

Their Back!

Mom and Dad

Their back! I can't believe how long my parents left us in charge of our human siblings. What were they thinking. It is a lot of work taking care of humans and watching after the home place. Couldn't they just hire someone and take us with them?

We are working on forgiveness. They came home with lots of love and hugs. Trouble and Nanuq nearly sat on top of mom for hours, while I acted like I had not noticed they were gone. I am not about to let them know how much their absence upset me. Hopefully, my human brother will not reveal my crankiness and mischievousness to them. I wouldn't even sleep in my normal spot while my parents were away. I slept at the back door praying every night would be the night they would come home. When I couldn't sleep I got into a little trouble. One night I got a plate out and broke it. I thought if I was bad enough they might hurry home, but it didn't work. I sure hope they behave themselves and stay home for a while.
