AHH I got Internet! Yeah...so don't forget to look up in the slide and see all the pics so far.
I met with Ena on Sunday and you will see a picture of her holding Boo and then a group picture of all of us. It really was a great day.
The next day was certainly a long one. I drove from Gilroy California too Pasadena area where the FLF (Fun Loving Family)lives. It was a long drive let me tell you and through some pretty flat land.
I arrived at Shirley's house and at first we were not sure how all the dogs would react but it went great!!! If you haven't met the famous Beatrix..you are definitely missing out..she is just too funny! Talk about giving you googley eyes, that girl has them. I posted a pic of her in the slide.
Wheezer did the usual Napoleon syndrome thing and started telling Baby he was bigger. Of course Baby got scared, which probably pleased tuff boy. LOL Boo has decided Shirley's daughter (Rosie) is her new friend and that "all" the toys are hers.
Yes, they are pretty spoiled to be sure. Shirleys husband fed my kids scrambly eggs for dinner! Hello..now they are his for life! haha..I said enjoy it while you can because mom doesn't do scrambly eggs or anyting for that matter at night. Spoiled is what they are.
I can not wait for Thursday as it is going to be a great pawty, so many dogs! haha.
Today we went to Knotts Berry farm. I now can say I have been there..No I did not ride any of the rides..that is just crazy..yes, you have to be young and crazy to ride those things. They did get me on the log ride and that was enough for me. Shirley Ann was the brave one and went on quite a few.
I also met Buster!!! Yes the other half of the famous Dewey clan and his mom Shawna..
See pics above. He is a cutey and his mom Shawna is great! OH I do love meeting all my Dogster pals.
Tomorrow I am hoping to go hiking with others and meet Shawna and Dewey at the park.
Until then have a good night!

Awesome Day
Hello all! What a day! Got to Isabel Park a little later than I thought. I forgot the dogs needed potty breaks. Haha This park is huge! And its all dogs!! I met with a Dogster pal of mine,Ena, her BF John and two of her furkids, mamma and bubba(this is their nickname because their names are long, so I a$m going with the short versions). We walked and walked,it is the biggest dog park I have ever seen. Boo was being her usual goofy self and Gus was in 7th heaven with his Frisbee. Raven stopped every person to see if they had food..Arolling eyes* Wheezer was trying to be the big dog on campus as usual. It really was a great day! Thank you Ena!! Nice meeting you and your clan. Oh yes Boo rolled in everything so hence she is a little piggy again. *sigh*. I would post pics but I am up in the middle of no where without WiFi..Thank goodness for my BB hahahaha We then went and picked up Boo and Gus's collars from Lisa. She has www.collarmania.com I was going to get them shipped but since I was here in San Fran she let me just come over and get them. Nice of her huh? Now Boo is stlyin in her new bling bling. Gus's is for special occasions. Love Lisa's work. I am staying at Henry Coe park campground and let me tell you..if your looking for God's country,this it. I thought it was down by this lake but OH NO 11 miles up this twisting, turning, sharp curves 5 miles an hour mountain.Along the way I saw a fox sitting in the middle of the road, no chance of hitting him because your going so slow. He was beautiful. Then a male California Quail ran out in the middle of the road. Awesome. Saw deer too and still I kept driving. I almost turned around, started to remind me of Friday the 13th or something. I kept going and finally I got to it. I can see the whole valley from here! It is just that gorgeous. However..I am the only one here!! Yep just me, the kids, wind (yes lots of wind)and the view. For some reason I am not concerned about being up here alone.It is ..well can't explain but I feel pretty close to peacefulness. Got a nice fire going, the moon came up blood red orange and full. Tried to get a picture but I can never take night pics. I suck at it. Had a couple of smores and yes so did the porkies sans the chocolate. I just look at Raven because she keeps barking and her face is filthy. Good Pug!! Looks like she stuck her face in the ashes. Little turd. I head for FLF house tomorrow. For now I will sit and enjoy my fire,the full moon and the wind. Good night!

Finally made it to Ashland Oregon.
It took more than the five hours I thought it would. Got here about 8:30pm. The dogs are crazy...ever camp with four dogs. Try to set a tent up, blow up an air mattress, roll out sleeping bag and walk the dogs...yeah..whew what a job!
I decided on this campground because the owners have two pugs. I wanted to meet them but got here to late as they were closed and gone for the night..:(
Here is the campground site:
http://www.glenyanrvpark.com/index.html
It is nice, they have a creek in the background. I am not enjoying my fire though because I can't get wireless by the fire. I am here with my laptop on the hood of my truck..LOL. AHHHh addiction to the world wide web is a bad thing..hehe.
My dogs are in the truck because Raven and Wheezer were do their little ahhh ahhh screaming dance. Gus kept wandering off and Boo just wanted in the truck.
I have decided to let the slideshow be the pictures so if you look up you will see todays pics...
OK its fire and smores time!!!! Until tomorrow!!!!
San Francisco here we come!!!!

Always make sure your furkids are comfy
Just a few more days and we are on the road!
I took the passenger bucket seat out today, as I think it will more comfortable for the kids, especially Gus. Poor guy gets stomped on when he is in the back half. Which is a little space. This way he will have more room.
I kind of like the room and since I am a petsitter/dog walker, one thing that has always bothered me is how would I get a big dog in my truck if it got injured? I am thinking about maybe just keeping it that way. A nice sized crate could fit in there if I had an emergency. Besides no one really likes riding in my truck, so having a missing seat isn't a big deal... I will have to think on this.
Anyway, I first put down plastic bags, to keep the short hairs from burying themselves in the carpet, then I put down a throw rug I had, then put down a few dog beds and then covered that up with a dog blanket..now that should be comfy.
I am curious if Boo, Raven and Wheezer will freak since they will not be able to see out the windows. They are too short..haha. Oh and another plus is the air conditioner now will be able to circulate cool air a lot better,since the bucket seat was preventing it from reaching that back half.
I tested it out tonight (not that I was planning on it or anything)with Mr. Magoo. He has some sort of nasty rash on his underbelly and armpits (are they called this?) ..legpits..whatever. He seemed to enjoy the fact there was more room, but then he decided the arm rest was a better place to hang out on..go figure.
Magoo is fine, he just has some kind of allergy to something..God only knows what, because that boy gets into everything.Worse than his sister. I just wanted to make sure nothing was contagious. Which it wasn't.
Then I blew up my air mattress to make sure all was fine. When you have dogs and air mattress, sometimes the mattress loses. This one seems to have no air leaks. Thank goodness as my old back could not take the hard ground. Everything is packed, except the kids and my food. It just seems like I have a lot of stuff, but then I like to be ready for anything.
I always carry hose clamps in my glove box and I was teased about this years ago by a friend who then read an article that had a list of emergency things to have on hand and guess what??? Hose clamps was one of them...ha...ha...I have flares, tow rope, battery cables, first aid kit for humans, first aid kit for dogs, shovel, flashlight, one of those shiny metal looking blankets, two water containers, tools, hammer, a nasty looking and very sharp knife (for the boogieman) LOL, a flint and stone (like in the caveman days..you never know), TP (can't have enough)and books on tape oh yes and coffee! That is just a little of what I am bringing...but a few of the most important.
Here are some pictures of the truck as it is now. Magoo posed for this one too :)

Roping Raven...
OK so today I had to get out of the heat so I started making these ropes for the dogs. I have never tied them up in their lives but all the campgrounds state I have to tie them up...poor kids.. So instead of those nasty chains, I bought some rope and made my own. First of all they make PINK ..yeah..really so I had to buy pink and white for the girls..and maybe the boys because I can't seem to find any boy colored rope. Any way here I am getting the ropes tied up, (I went online to see which kind of knot would be the best and how to tie it so my kids could not get it undone) I got done and wanted to take pics and what does Miss Snoopy Raven herself do but jump up in the middle of things..so here is a video and photos of camping and rope tying 101 Ravens way.
