                Campground at Sebastian Inlet

We made our way back to hot Florida and my brown couch at Aunt Debby’s house. Ah! Another place that feels like home. I love being here. I get to see Debby and her family, and also Mamaw and Papaw, who live nearby.

I have a funny story about Mamaw. Another wonderful aunt of mine, Sandy, and her husband Nathan gave me a sweet toy for Christmas last year. It was some kind of animal, and it squeaked. I loved that toy!! Well da mommy and da daddy like to play a game where they ask me “Where’s Mommy?” and I look at Mommy. Then “Where’s Daddy?” and I look at Daddy. Then when we’re with Mamaw and Papaw, they do that with them. So I had left my new toy across the room, and da daddy asked me “Where’s Grandma?” and instead of looking at Mamaw, I went to get my toy. After that, the toy was called “Grandma.” Everybody thought that was pretty funny. I didn’t really see why it was funny, but it was nice to see them laughing and having fun.

 

Chigger with "Grandma"

From Debby’s house we went to a campground at a place nearby called Sebastian Inlet State Park. I had a great time there, and da mommy and da daddy got to go to the beach and swim. Again, “no dogs allowed” on the beach (Arggghhh!), but the campground area was a great place to walk. There were other dogs that I got to say hi to, and a little swimming area where I could cool off. The water tasted yucky. I tried to drink it every time, but it never got any better. Mommy and I walked a lot while we camped there. After I got in the yucky water she splashed me with good water from a spicket by the playground. And one day we took a long drive together, and that was fun too.


My swimming area at the Sebastian Inlet campground. Not a great beach, but okay for cooling off.

AT LAUGHING HEART HOSTEL, HOT SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA

AT LAUGHING HEART HOSTEL, HOT SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA (2019) AT LAUGHING HEART HOSTEL, HOT SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA March through July 2019 My time at the hostel in Hot Springs was HEAVENLY! I loved the cozy cabin that we lived in.  I loved the freedom I had because the hostel and cabin are on huge grassy property, and I could stay outside almost all the time. It was very safe there. I loved that da daddy and da mommy were always home. I loved going for hikes with da mommy.  I loved being around lots of nice people who were hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I loved sneaking into the hostel and sniffing around and sometimes finding dog treats or toys that some hiking dog left behind. I guess da daddy and da mommy didn’t love me sneaking in there, because a few times they were pretty freaked out because they couldn’t find me. But I was safe and sound in a corner in a cozy room, playing with a new toy or chewing on a tasty treat.   The thing I loved most about my life at...

JUNIPER SPRINGS, OCALA NATIONAL FOREST, FLORIDA

  JUNIPER SPRINGS, OCALA NATIONAL FOREST, FLORIDA (still 2019) We left Hot Springs and headed to HOT Florida to camp with some of our family. Da daddy did a good job of keeping our little camper cool for us. And the campground was nice, with trails that I walked on with da mommy, and lots of shade so it wasn’t too hot even in the daytime. But I had to stay in the trailer a lot because for some reason I couldn’t go to swim in the springs with da mommy and da daddy. I don’t understand rules sometimes.   And there was a little white dog in our camp named Henry. He came with our North Carolina family. He was okay but I think he was a little afraid of me and we played some, but not a lot. My favorite part of this camping trip was that I got a whole hot dog that someone had cooked over the fire. It was tasty!   After Juniper Springs we went to Plant City for a few days to see some more family. Here's a picture of my good buddy Abbie with her human, Sam:  While we were ...

BACK TO SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE

  BACK TO SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE Yay!!!! After dropping Sandy off so she could fly home, we drove a long way, back to Smith Mountain Lake! Ah! Feels like home. Da daddy painted some more, and da mommy worked on the little box that she taps with her fingers. This is such a relaxing place. We all love it here.   We moved on to another fun place, Heather’s house. Heather is Daddy’s daughter. She lives in another part of Virginia. Heather and her family have four great kids and a little dog that barks … like a little dog. I didn’t play with that dog much because she was very small and maybe a little afraid of me. She mostly stayed on the couch hiding behind big pillows.   But I did get to play with the two little boys. They had fun throwing the tennis ball for me. And they have a huge yard – really, it’s a small farm. So I could run around. They have goats that, of course, I had to try to chase (on the other side of the fence). They also have a bunch of chickens that I D...
