Over the weekend I packed my bags and headed for the mountains, the Pocono Mountains to be exact, for a weekend of camping and fun with my pal Shilah the Husky.
Shilah and I both made our way to the mountains ready for some adventures, and a bit of relaxing too.
Our rustic retreat included a super fun footbridge (the only way across the river) that Shilah and I thought was a blast!
Our parents perhaps could of wished they could park the car a little closer to our campsite. But like I say, a little exercise never hurt anyone!
Our digs for the weekend included a fun little cabin (although I opted to set-up and sleep in my tent) in the woods.
I of course wasted no time checking out all necessary “holes” to make sure no critters were intruding on our campsite.
The accommodations were quite rustic, including this outdoor shower, but when you’re a dog – none of that really matters does it!
A few steps from camp was a stream, complete with my very own waterfall!
Dad had fun casting out the fishing rod – which was a first for me. I’ve also since discovered that I get about as worked up about fishing as my adventurous pal, Crusoe the Dachshund. Although my main goal is trying to save that little bobber (or tiny floating ball as I saw it) from “drowning”. Mom says I need to work on the idea that fishing is supposed to be a relaxing sport, not a “bark as loud as you can and frantically try to save things out of the water” sport.
Aside from fishing, Shilah and I had fun relaxing around the campsite – taking in as much outdoor time as we could!
After a full day of fun, Shilah and I were ready for some campfire food! Unfortunately all we got was kibble…..but the smells were enough to make a dog drool.
As the night rolled on Shilah and I grew tired of patrolling the campsite in our Glowdoggies, and it seemed it was time to call it a night.
I snuggled into my sleeping bag dreaming of all the critters I would hunt for the next day…
And I awoke rested and ready for my next big adventure!
Stay tuned tomorrow as I share my adventures hiking Glen Onoko Falls!
