It's been strange at my house

I haven't written for a while because it's been very strange at my house.

One day my Dad went out and came home wearing a funny thing on his arm.  He slept a lot on his chair and then he slept on the couch at night.  I didn't know what to do...should I sleep with my Dad or go upstairs and sleep with my Mom in the bedroom?  Some nights I just went up and down.  That made me very tired.

On Sunday night my brother came out - that made things easy...I slept with him.

Tonight I am sleeping in the camper with my Dad.  This is all very odd.

Otherwise everything is the same...

Gander Mountain

If you or your parents need anything in the area of outdoor stuff I recommend Gander Mountain.  It is not at all like the other store that I shall not name that made me stay in a crate.  They welcomed me to the store and I must say they had some wonderful things to sniff.

These are some pictures of me shopping...

I don't know why I'm sideways.  I wasn't sideways in the store.

A bad place

My parents and I went to a bad campground in Enon OH. 

I understand that it was the 4th of July and it is a very important holiday but people kept shooting off horrible sounding fireworks that sounded like gun shots.  I was so scared I did not go out of the camper and when my parents tried to take me out I hid in the bedroom.  I did not come out until the next morning.  My parents petted me a lot but I was still upset.....

I also heard that the bathrooms were not too clean either.

Fireworks and some new friends

It's been busy around here.  Last night there were fireworks.  I hate fireworks and hid in my house.  I would not come out.  My mom sat outside and took pictures of them. 

 

They are kind of pretty but much too noisy.

But - getting back to those new friends I made....their names are Lana and Allen and they live near where we were camping.  They met my Mom on the internet.  They knew I was Belle as soon as they saw me.  They petted me alot - especially Allen.  They love me and I love my new friends.

Napping

I do nap a lot.  Today I had a lovely nap with my father.

Dog show

Today my father woke me up early and gave me a very thorough brushing.

I soon discovered that I was being entered in a dog show at the rally we are attending.  How exciting!  I was being entered in the beautiful dog category and my dear friend Trouper was being entered for the best costume.

My father and I paraded in front of the judges.  I was lovely...

Unfortunately the judges did not select me as a winner.  Oh, well!  Mistakes can be made by anyone.  I am not at all distressed.

However, my dear friend Trouper did win a prize for having the best costume.  I am very happy that he won because he is so small.  This is a picture of  Trouper in his costume with his mom.

Sam

My friend Sam has been sick.  We were afraid he was very sick.  But he isn't!!!  He's going to get better!  His mom has taken wonderful care of him.  I'm very happy!  Be well Sam!
