Hudson's First Camping Trip

A couple weeks ago Gary and I took a short camping trip at Frenchman Lake, just up the road from our house.  The trip was a getaway to celebrate our second wedding anniversary, but with all these new puppies we knew we couldn't go somewhere that the dogs couldn't come with us, so camping was a good option.  We were able to stay on private property at the lake, and borrowed Gary's parents' RV, so it was a very peaceful and relaxing weekend.



Hudson and Paco had a great time wrestling almost nonstop (unless they were tethered to separate trees), and on Sunday we found a section of the lake without anyone around that we were able to take all the dogs down to swim.  Hudson did pretty well, and went right in, but was a little unsure about swimming out to retrieve his bumper or ball.  He did swim out a couple times, but usually didn't end up bringing the bumper back with him.  I don't have any pictures from the water because I was wading in it with them to encourage them to get in. The dogs had such a great time, but were absolutely filthy with a fine layer of dirt by the time we left.  Needless to say, they all got baths as soon as we got home. 




After bath time, all the dogs got to come inside (a novelty for little cow dog Paco) and Hudson enjoyed teaching Paco about his favorite little hideout/secret passageway through our coffee table. Silly puppies!
