Summer!

Wow! It's been a long time since I wrote.
Earlier this month, Momma took us camping. It was all the way in North Carlina at this place called 4 Paws Kingdom. We had to ride all day with our seat belts on. When we got almost there, it started raining so hard Momma had to pull over, but by the time we got there, it was only raining just a tiny bit. It was really cool place: woods and fields and streams to sniff around, a cabin with a fenced front porch to sleep in, and - would ya believe: no kids allowed! My kinda place for sure!
Raoudi liked wading in the pond and the stream. Momma wanted me to, too, but I said H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks NOOOOoo. What, you think I'd get wet on purpose? Anyway, I got to run around a bunch of parks without a leash, and smell a bunch of new smells and bark at sounds I never heard before. Momma said it was crickets and frogs.
Since it was the middle of the week, we almost had the place to ourselves. The staff all called us well-behaved. I was bummed we only got to stay three days, but Momma promises we'll go back.
Then we went to see Reece and his pawrents and his brother and sister. They treated us like they were really glad to have us there, and let us on the furniture and had agility stuff in the back yard, and we had three humans to pet us instead of just one.
We did three days of agility. Momma said I did a good, good job, but I wasn't very fast sometimes, so Momma got a chiropractor to look at me. She said my chest was whopsided to the right and my tail to the left and my mid-back was locked up. After that I ran faster, but Momma messed me up not signaling some turns and crossing in the wrong place and pulling me off stuff. I'd have had my MAD if Momma had told me there was a turn coming and not to go in that tunnel my nose was pointed right at {{SIGH}}. Reece is getting really good: he got his Starter Jumpers title and his first Snooker leg - Momma says he's another Snooker Scnauzer like me and Raou.
Reece's Mom and ad took us out on their boat, but we had to wear life jackets, and Momma expected me to swim. Good greif, woman, do you really want to drown me? Reece swam and even went to sleep on a raft, the little dare devil.
Momma's been workin a lot since we got back. I went to the vet and got my back X-rayed like the chiropractor suggested, but it was just fine. They cleaned my toothers and stole some of them
:(
It's so had here I haven't wanted to do much outside. Mom says no more agility until September, and it's too hot to practice in the yard more than a few minutes, even when it's hardly even light outside yet.
That darn Diamond and Dubby who kept taking my fox both got adopted, so now I can play "Gimme that" with Mom in peace at least.
Mom, when can we go back to the No Kids Allowed place?
