Biggles Combs His Hair

The new motor home is different

Now the trip to Bird's Hill Park was canceled. The batteries discharged for no reason (actually, a cable came loose) and the motor home wouldn't start. It was disappointing until Halloween when we went to Little Mountain Park in it. You should have seen Beavis and I running! There was a huge field nearby and we met many dogs that were friendly with us. Holes with rodents to sniff ... heaven! It is nice to travel in the motor home but, it takes some getting used to. The whole thing moves so much! We generally lay on the bed when it is in motion and when it stops, it is somewhere really exciting. I doubt they would use it to take us to the vet! Pebbles joined us and the whole evening was a struggle to get her untangled (even when we gave her a longer rope).

When it got dark, I got to wear a florescent light stick which promptly fell off. No worries, I carried it around so everyone knew where I was. Beavis got a hold of it and played tug with it. It was non toxic and Tom grabbed the stick from us and ended up with most of this glowing stuff on his jacket! it was pretty funny because we could now always see him.

So though we didn't go camping overnight anywhere, at least we are getting some use out of the motor home as it is apparently end of season. I really just look forward to spending time with my human companions. I also like the excitement of our mystery bus destinations. It will continually just get better. There is always a bright side, isn't there?

North America, we have a home on wheels!

Yup,
Time to go traveling! It is happening soon! We shall have to see what will happen. I mean, we can't just go bounding in the motor home until it is gone over. Barbie found a great place to park it (at Tom's) and my girlfriend Jazz, is nearby.

Both Beavis and I went over to visit Jackie, PB & J and of course, Tom. There was a surprise as well! Shelly and Auntie Helen were visiting because Michelle and Jarod got married this weekend! We now have a standing invitation to visit Shelly in B.C. next year!

All of us ran in the back yard for hours and had a great time. After Tom came home, he and Barbie ate in the motor home. We managed to open the back gate and ran around the front yard but, not for too long. Barbie and Shelly noticed us at the same time and we were led back to the back yard. We did get a romp in the new motor home and slept well when we went home.

I recently went to the vet and got a relatively clean bill of health. I must have gotten into something allergic again. I had a bit of a rash and another yeast infection in my ear. I get drops for two weeks, but right after treatment, I get chicken treats or duck, maybe some wet food.

This weekend is our first trip to Bird's Hill Park provided that Barbie can quickly sew some covers for the new home. For the first proof of concept only Beavis and I are going because no one knows how he will behave when being out all the time. Yippee! Camping!

Visits, Trips and travel!

Good news everyone! Barbie bought a motor home for us to go traveling in! I heard her mention Bird's Hill Park to Tom on the phone. We get it after the long weekend. It has to be gone over first by the shop and then by Barbie. Tom is talking about going somewhere called Yellowstone! My internal compass is going to spin! Camping! This year was hard to go. We booked twice but couldn't go both times! Next year, the weather isn't going to make a difference.

We had Pebbles and Jazz (whom I secretly call PB & J), over for a sleep last weekend. We barked and played outside and had a great time. Scratchy came over and didn't really get along with the PB & J so she had to leave. It is too bad because for me, the more the merrier! They are coming back this weekend and are being boarded for next week! The pack of miscreants together again. Let's see if I can teach Jazz to run into the pool! Further video of this play date to follow!

Also, with my siblings, I am hardly biting on Vincent anymore. I now have Beavis for that and he and I sing very loudly when we play. Hermione doesn't mind me at all and Duffy and I lay down close together. Beavis was a great addition to this family. The only one who might regret it is Barbie especially when we play in the house. Beavis also tears up toys, I wonder if he will try it when we start traveling? Barbie says that Vincent and Duffy might come with us too! Bring on the long weekend.
