October Trip to Four Paws Kingdom

Four Paws Kingdom is located in Rutherfordton, NC.  We have visited with our fur faces a few times in the summer months but never in the fall.  Over a long weekend in October, we made the trip and had a wonderful time.  Despite being ill, Claire leapt in the pond and joined Rocky for a swim.  It was a wonderful moment for us all.

No Place Like Home

Last weekend when the grownups went out of town, Rocky and Claire spent a weekend of fun at No Place Like Home.  This country resort kennel for dogs is located in Senoia.  The photos taken by the owner definitely showcases the very special time Rocky and Claire had in the country.  Swimming, running, rolling in the grass, making friends, and more swimming made for a memorable weekend.  If we can convince the owners to build some human rental cabins on the property, we’ll be the first in line to sign up for a weekend away!

Cousins Visit

Yesterday, we were in Senoia and dropped in to see our cousin Latte. She is a beautiful, long haired chihuahua. While Latte prefers her life as the only dog in her family, she puts up with her friendly cousins during an unexpected visit.  Thank you to Aunt Christy for taking the wonderful photographs.  Check out her awesome work at Digital Memories by Christy.

Jekyll Island Summer 2013

The family took our first trip camping trip to the seashore this summer.  Our destination was Jekyll Island, Georgia.  Every morning we visited Driftwood Beach as it is not only beautiful but dog friendly.  One day, we saw a recently married couple having their picture taken on this bench and decided to try our own photo magic with the dogs.  This is the best we were able to get with uncooperative critters.  Rocky and Claire loved chasing crabs on the beach and splashing in the water.

Cloudland Canyon State Park

Over the February break, all four of us headed to Cloudland Canyon State Park.  It was quite chilly during our stay.  Probably due to the cold, we were only one of three sets of campers in the park.  We enjoyed lots of hikes around the canyon.  Absolutely beautiful!  Rocky and Clarie enjoyed the outdoors.

Little Ocmulgee State Park October 2012

We spent a long weekend camping at Little Ocmulgee State Park.  The weather was beautiful!  Rocky and Claire ended a long hike with a stop by the lake.  The first camper picture was actually taken at Tugaloo State Park back in April.  It shows the ramp we constructed from a discarded playground slide.  The ramp is necessary for the dogs to safely enter and exit the camper.
