Camping for the Dogs

Our dog, Zoey, is the best camping companion. She's not a big fan of driving in cars, so that part isn't so fun, but once we get there, she's a doll. She comes immediately when you call her, she doesn't wander off too far. She doesn't bark. She's friendly to everyone, but she's not particularly loyal. She'll sit or lay by anyone who'll have her. I think she'd go home with just about anyone. Luckily, she came home with us this time.In short, she's just a fabulous dog. Sadly, our Schnauzer, Zip, rarely gets invited on camping trips because he barks at everything. Other than that, he's great too. Oh, and he has been known to nip at people he doesn't know. Other than that he's terrific. Really.

Zoey was such a trooper on the beach. She'd find a sliver of shade and sleep the day away with no complaining. Sometimes the shade was in short supply, so Ellea fashioned this shelter for her by draping her beach towel between a chair and a small shovel. Zoey must've appreciated the gesture, because she stayed put for a couple hours! What a great dog! She might look a little funny, but we sure like her!
