The next stop on our summer adventure took us to Four Paws Kingdom in Rutherfordom, NC.  This is the only campground in the country that exclusively caters to adult guests and their canine companions.  Click here to see the campground’s website.  We had great fun hiking to the different dogs parks each day and the fur faces loved swimming in the pond and creek, too.  One day, Claire and Bobbi took an introduction to agility class.  Bobbi loved it and Claire participated when she wasn’t scanning the area for birds and rabbits.  The only one that was reprimanded for a poor performance was Bobbi when she wasn’t monitoring Claire properly on her side of the A-frame beam walk.  Claire jumped off from the top which she thought was a piece of cake.  We had a terrific time and hope to visit again when the temperature is much cooler.

Checking out the pond	Mom and Dad prefer to sit in the gazebo!
Claire is chilling in the pool!	Rocky wonders if this doggie pool is big enough for him? Where is the pond?
Time to look for birds.	Claire will not move till she has that bird!
Will Rocky find one first?	Bored with birds and on to rabbits!
Teamwork works best when hunting rabbits.	The agility field…Bobbi and Claire are in there somewhere!
Rocky and Claire visited this place before leaving Four Paws Kingdom!	Have you ever referred to a bathroom as cute? Well…this one was!
A day trip leads us to Chimney Rock in the town of Lake Lure, NC.	We climbed up into the rock overhang.

Our two week camping adventure began at Unicoi State Park outside of Helen, Georgia.  We spent a week hiking the trails and exploring Anna Ruby Falls.  Despite the heat, we all had a great time.  Click on the thumbnails to see larger pictures.

Rocky and Annie had a blast playing in the snow today. We weren’t sure that Annie would want to go outside; however, when she realized Rocky was going out, she knew that she had better do the same. Why you ask? Annie had to protect the fresh bird wing she’d buried in the yard yesterday! She doesn’t like to share her treasures with Rocky.
