a day in the life of Annie...

first camping trip of the year

well, we went camping this weekend, but it wasn't as fun as normal... it was all cold and wet either raining or snowing on us the whole time. well except for a couple of hours on the second day i suppose where we went for a quick hike while the weather held.

so it wasn't all bad, i did get to use my new backpack and run around a little, but there was no fire the whole time to be warm by, and we were trapped in my "cousins" teeny tiny camper the whole time. there was five of us and 4 hu-mans all sitting in there trying to stay warm and dry. bummer.

we also found out the hard way that Daunte isn't very street smart. believe it or not, he actually tried to chase a truck!!! he got away from mom while she was going to tie us all up and a truck drove by and he ran right out in front of it barking like he could take on a truck! mom was soooo SCARED and MAD that he did that. she says that she's gonna have to do something about that, but she's not entirly sure how since he's NEVER tried to before now.... geez, that Daunte.

I'm officially a canine good citizen!!

So mom has been going on and on about this test that i was supposed to take. well i finally did, and passed with flying colors!! even though all i did was stuff i do all the time anyway!! the only thing i wasn't so sure about was when mom had to leave me with the evaluator. She was nice, i was just concerned about being left!!

so now she keeps talking about how she's gonna be able to take me to work more often and a bunch of other fun stuff, so i'm thinking that that sounds like fun!

YAY SPRING!!

Well, now that it's getting nice, mom has broken out my backpack and we're getting ready to go hiking!! YAY!!!

I've hiked with a backpack before, so i just have to get used to carrying weight again. Daunte has never carried on before though, and he's having a harder time with it! It was really funny actually, the first time he had it on, he kept trying to rub it off!! he tried rubbing it off on mom, on me, and on anything on our walk, hedges, trees, fire hidrants, hehehe, silly Daunte.

He's getting better though. He'll be ready by June when we take our first camping/hiking trip. :)
