My first trip with Dad!

Last week I got to go on a trip with my dad and my sister. I got put in this huge box. It was so scary! I kept on hearing Daddy and the rest of the family say "Crate". Don't ask me, Humans sometimes don't know what they are saying! Anyways, My 'Crate' was stuffed in the trunk and we were off.

I never stopped crying the whole way there, good times! What did they expect me to do? The world was moving so fast! I never was aloud to get out to smell the other dogs butts!

It was our first stop and I was aloud out of the "Crate" for the first time in 3 minutes! I was in such pain! Oh my! Well, it seemed so farmilure to me! The grass was the same. I could still smell my house! It turned out that we had only reached to neighborhood park! Wow, I had some releif there. Back on the road for a while, though!

Our second stop and I hadn't stopped crying. It had been a whole 2 hours and I was ready to go behind a bush. We stopped at some food store and my sister let me out and walked me around the grassy land around it. Dad went in and when he came out about 1o minutes later he had a bag of dog food, human food, bones, and toys. He gave me a huge bone, it was too big so I hated it, He gave me a small one, it was too small so I hated it, and He gave me a middle one, it was appariently to perfect, so I hated it! Wow at that moment I am sure they all wanted to kill me...So they just threw all the bones in my crate, along with a small chew toy (that lasted a second), and some dog food. Off we were again. Off I was crying again.

We had reached a third stop. We really didn't meen to stop but we were stuck in the road. They left me in my crate this time but at least I was in one spot. I was once again, crying, whining my head off! Daddy and my sister were clearing the road of the wobly rocks. It wasn't long before we were off again.

We were there! Cherry Creek! I was so happy that when I was let out, I never stoped crying! Yay! There was this huge lake and there we rocks to climb on, and we had our very own campsite! It was so much fun! At last, I was there, where I belonged! I was running free! We began packing up, we just had got there! I was so angry. Turns out we were just going hiking!

We were taking a hike in the woods when I knew something. I started barking. Growling. I even started crying! That's new! Out of the blue I began to run for it. Dad and my Sister we chasing me when they stopped. Ohh how happy of me they were! I was chasing some elk! The elk sure didn't seem to care, the word about me crying the whole way here must have spread, they just sat there. When I ran for them they just inched away at there own speed. Finally, I scared them off! Who knew I was that brave!

The following day I met another pup. We played with eachother and I didn't run! I sniffed it many times, It never growled at me! Another happy day in the life of Sammi.

My babyish act began to kick in when we reached a firehouse lookout! The fireman let us up but I could only make it one level up. Everybody else was on the way high up top. How embarissing! They all saw me when they looked down threw the many layers of stairs. There I was, crying on the bottom layer. And the worst part. When they got to the bottom again and started walking away, I couldn't get down. Wow, that was a red face day.

The next day, I went swimming in the lake. Daddy and my sister went hunting for small fish to catch and bring home with us. I swam, and I swam, and I swam some more! Oh boy it was fun! But to get the energy you have to build it up, so as usual I fell asleep on the shore in no time. But it sure was worth it!

I was proud again! I chased 1 white tailed dear and I got to see it hop away, I chased 1 rabbit away, and I killed 1 bird (which made my sister cry). Daddy was proud of me so I got extra bones that day!

It was time to go home and I was ready. I even crated myself, even know that wasn't one of my tricks! Daddy and Sissy were so proud of me for doing that. Hey guess what, the whole way back I never stopped crying, and threw all the stops I never stopped crying, too! Wow I am surprised I am here right now! I am home now with my family, Rosie, Mom, Dad, Sissy and everyone else. I loved my trip but I would rather be home, where I belong. It's no secret that I don't fit in as a forest dog.
