Another Camping Trip

We are busy getting ready for our next trip. We head out tomorrow for Springfield, MO. We are staying in a private campground. We normally stay in state parks, but KOA is having a stay a night get one free this weekend. The campground has an off leash play area for dogs. Mama said we will have to see if it is okay for us. We don't want to be in there with ankle bitters. The campground is close to Bass Pro Shop, so after Scout and I get tired from visiting a civil war battlefield, Mama and Daddy will go shopping. It should be a fun weekend, but a short one. We normally go for four days, but this weekend is only three days. After this trip, we will be home for two weekends and then we go away for Memorial weekend and then the next week we head to Kansas to meet my "real" Daddy and other greyhounds. This camping stuff is tiring!

Coupon for FREE KFC Grilled Chicken

If you have been wanting to try the new KFC grilled chicken, you can try it for free with this coupon. You must print it out today, May 6th. This was on the Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday.

Mama had a friend send it to her and then Grandma also sent it to her. She decided to pass it on to all of you. I love chicken, so I hope Mama saves me some.

The greyhound who loves chicken!

New Stuffing For Beds

Yesterday, Mama put new stuffing in our beds. She would like to buy us new beds, but said in these tough economic times we need to make do with what we have. Mama is normally pretty frugal, but when it comes to us, she likes to spoil us.

Scout cried when Mama took her bed and started putting stuffing it in. I didn't see the big deal until Mama took my bed. It's like an invasion of our privacy or something.

Scout didn't like her bed at first because it was so fluffed up. I thought it was great and jumped right on it. Last night, Scout seemed very happy with her fluffy bed. What do you think?



Mama said she needs to wash our beds, but she didn't want to freak us out too much in one day.

Oh, the vet said that Mama can give us both another dose of our heart worm preventive. She said there is no danger in overdosing.

Daddy's Home!

Daddy came home earlier than we expected last night. Scoutie walked into the bedroom and there he was. She came in the living room with him smiling as big as she could. I guess she thought she found him or something. Today, she wanted Daddy to walk her instead of Mama.

Daddy fixed our refrigerator. He's the man! He had to put a new part on it.

We are playing a game with Mama. She gave us our heart worm medicine on yesterday. She thought she saw both of us chew it up, but one of us spit it out on the carpet. She found the pill today. She thinks that it was Scout who didn't take it, but she can't be sure. Scout is usually really good about taking pills. I normally am more difficult, but she she is pretty sure that she saw me chew it up, but she also thought Scout chewed up hers. She said she will call the vet on Monday and find out if she can give us both another pill or what he recommends. She said she will make sure this does not happen again. I'm not sure what she plans to do, but I'll keep you posted.

Daddy's Coming Home Tonight

Daddy comes home tonight, but it will be late. Scoutie and I are just hanging around waiting for him. As you can see, she has taken over MY couch. We usually share it in the evening and Mama has to find some place else to sit.

Not much has happened except for the refrigerator dying. It's funny to watch Mama open it up only to realize that there is nothing in it. Daddy said he hopes the parts place is open tomorrow, otherwise we are not sure when he will be able to fix it. We are camping again next weekend.

We haven't been down the road so we do not know if the raccoon is still there. He may have drowned with all the rain we have been having. We saw a bunny hop across our driveway yesterday. We also saw a turtle cross the driveway and then this morning, there was a mole that ran across it. The driveway seems to be the place to be, doesn't it?

It's supposed to be a rainy weekend. Actually, it's supposed to rain all next week. The weather man said we are STUCK.
