The summer fun continues! We were lucky enough to have a friend that has a friend that has a hook-up on a great camping spot where our dogs could run off leash. It's set up on a little peninsula and it was perfect for training them to stay near camp. They even had access to a nice little man-made lake.

Another little Aussie stopped by to visit M and her friend, M. It's a mini Aussie with a little corgie mixed in it.

Bear isn't one to jump into the lake, but he loves to go wading.

Ezzie loves loves loves the water. Wading is for wussies! She could spend all day just running, swimming, playing and hanging out with her people.

The water in the lake was less than desirable. Downright nasty from the perspective of a little girl. It didn't stop these little girls from having the time of their lives. This picture looks deceptively like two children on a beach. Not so!! It's two children on a pile of sand that's been dumped next to a natural shoreline - weeds and all. It was actually pretty awesome because it worked great for making sand castles. I love a vacation where both kids and dogs are occupied!

Our friend's dog, Juno is just a little over a year old and boy o' boy does she have some puppy energy. She's very friendly, but doesn't get the chance to interact with other dogs very often. This weekend was great for her! She learned a lot about running wild with the big dogs, and some very important lessons about little dogs too. It's great fun watching five pounds of killer dog chase this pony around.

Esmeralda has a hard time expressing herself. Do you think she was enjoying herself? :)

Happy Camper |
When everything was all said and done, we packed up and said our good-byes. The pups had a great time, but they weren't taking any chances on getting left behind.

Don't leave me! |
Isn't it fun to just be happy !! Our camping friend has a little girl just a year older and they really clicked. They had so much fun exploring. We heard a lot of giggling!
