Day 2 of Vacation

Today, Mama and Daddy went out and Scout and I stayed in the motor home. It was 90 degrees here today, so we were happy to be in our air conditioned motor home. Mama gave us frosty treats when they left. I think it makes her feel less guilty. We just laid around and napped and watched our TV shows. It's like being at home.

Mama said they went to Jesse James home. It's where he was living when he was killed. There is a bullet hole in the wall where he was shot. Mama said it was interesting to see his home and some of his belongings. They went to Patee Museum which is next door. Mama said it was really interesting. They had cars, trains, trolley cars, toys, plus a town was set up inside and you could walk through all the shops as they would have looked in the 1800's. The site is where the Pony Express left from St. Joseph. After that, they went to Godfather's Pizza. We don't have one near us and Mama has been wanting it for over two years. She said it was a buffet, so she ate as much as she wanted.

Tonight, we went for a walk around the campground. The camp host saw us and gave us treats. We thought that was pretty neat.

Mama got hurt last night. She fell down. Can you believe that? It wasn't my fault, but she was walking me. She ended up scraping both hands and one knee. She thought at first that she broke her wrist, but it's better today. I hope nothing else bad happens on our trip.

Tomorrow, I think we are just hanging out around the campground. We haven't walked any of the trails yet. Wednesday, we head to Abilene.

I'm on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!

We are on our way to St. Joe, MO. We left this morning at 7:53 a.m. Daddy said that anyone who was not on the "bus" at 8 a.m. would be left behind. Scout and I loaded the "bus" at 7:45 a.m. He can't get of us that easily. LOL

A bird crashed into us on I-270. He left some feathers on our side mirror and a little more evidence that he didn't make it on the glass. I won't go into details, but Mama is not happy that she has to look out that window for 6 hours today.

We've stopped at one rest area so far and I think we get to stop at another in another 1.5 hour. Scout and I think rest areas are super fun.

That's it for now. We are rolling down I-70 towards our destination.

Our Frosty Treats - Recipe

Here is the recipe for Jack & Scout's frozen treats. it is very easy. I use a blender.

I purchased small plastic containers that are freezer safe for the treats. The containers are reusable, so they are perfect.

Ingredients

1 large container of Vanilla Yogurt - fat free is fine (2 lb)

2 Tablespoons of peanut butter

If your dogs like fruit such as bananas, throw that in. Scout likes it, but Jack will not eat bananas. I have tried apple sauce, but peanut butter is the favorite here.

Instructions

Place half of the yogurt in blender, add peanut butter and then add remaining yogurt. Blend well. Pour into containers and freeze.

That's it. This makes between 12-14 treats depending on how full I fill the cups. I buy a generic yogurt which is $1.67 currently at Walmart. So, this is a very economical treat for my dogs and they love it.

TGIF!

Mama made us 24 frosty treats last night!!! That's the most she has ever made at one time. PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!!!! We are taking some on our vacation. It's not a camping trip without our frosty treats.

Have to go, Mama says she is supposed to be working. Oops!

Thursday ....already?

It's hard to believe it is already Thursday. We are getting very excited about our vacation. We leave on Sunday. We are going to a greyhound event in Kansas. Mama & Daddy will meet my "real" Daddy at the Greyhound Hall of Fame. He's a greeter there. I know, I've mentioned it before but I think it's really cool that he found a job at his age (almost 10).

Scout is being silly today. She forgot to eat again and is freaking out. Her stomach is making noises and it scares her. I've told her to eat, but she said she is scared. Mama gave her a little cheese and peanut butter and she is better now.

Daddy fixed the washing machine last night. Mama is washing everything in sight. I bet if I get in her way, she will try and wash me too.

The greyhound who remembers to eat.
