Hi Bunny!  Hi Buttons! (Pee Ess - Annie and Pierrot, yous did not gets a shout out from me coz I was on I-78 going through Pencilvania and yous would not have heard me coz that be too far away.  We did not gets on the turnpike until Carlisle But I was thinking of yous!)

Still raining.

And we gots stuck in construction like 87 times.  Fur real.

Finally, St. Louis!

At gramma's house...

It took the kitteh a little time to warm up to me...

... and gibs me a sniff.  Me, I is holding my brefs, BOL.  Do not mess with the kittehs wielding daggers of death and destructions when you has invaded their turf.  I needs my kitteh furrends to put in a good werd fur me.

To Grandma's House We Go Part 1

I is off on my road trip to St. Louis!

Mountains in Pencilvania!

Skeery spooky tunnels in Pencilvania.

In the tunnel of doom.

See that green blob on the Global Pawsitioning thingie?  That be Shawnee State Park in PA!

The road ofur the PA Turnpike to MY park!  We was thinking about hiking there but the park be smack on the turnpike and we does not like hiking in traffic noise.  I needs to gets me a different park.

On towards Pittiesburg.

Anudder tunnel of doom.

Here we is at our hike south of Pittiesburg.  Furry remote and no turnpike noises.

There be a memorial at the park but I did not know what fur.

I hads mom Google it later at gramma's house and it be 3 childruns who died in a sleigh accident.

We climbed up the mountain and found snow!

More snow!  We heard is snowed the night before.

There is supposed to be seeniks here but it be all ofurgrown.

But with no leaves on the trees I seened some seeniks.

Then we went down to Roaring Run and hads to cross ofur.  But it be ROARING and DEEP and COLD and mom was all like oh no we cannots cross here.

She finds us a better way.

But then we hads to cross again.

And again.

And again.  Yes furends, we hads to cross 32 times!  Mom did not count but she Googled it and in an article it did say 28-32 creek crossings.

Mom had long given up trying to keeps her feets dry and just waded on through.

Finally done crossing creeks.

Back at the hikemobile and mom bees so happy nobuddy else bees there because she hads to do the hiker striptease to change out of her wet clothes.

Me, I just hunkered down with some chickun jerkey.  Yum.

We headed on to Columbus Oh-Hi-Oh...

... where that Tom Bodett leaves a light on fur me.

Not only do that Tom Bodett say dogs be welcome at his place always, but he gibs me a potty patch right outside my door.

It might not be the nicest place but it werks for me and that Tom Bodett does not charge extra green papers for me staying here.

Test Hike

I knows, I has been away fur furefur again.  I gots that Old Dog Vestibular thingie again and is not bouncing back so well from it this time.  Mebbe because we had TONS of dogs here at the B&B last week fur spring break, OMD, OMD, OMD, good times was had by all.  Anyways, rememmer that trip I was supposing to take last fall and had to cancel when I gotted that Old Dog Vestibular thingie?  Well, it be rescheduled for the end of THIS WEEK!  WOO HOO.  But furst, mom had to know if'n I could even still hike coz  hads been out of commission fur a whole month again. 

So to put this old girl to the test, I taked the boy and the girl (it be a different girl than afore, BOL) and the girl's pibble, Sebastian, on a hike.  I cried almost all the way there in the hikemobile becoz I was soooooo excited and mom did not drive fast enuff to get there faster.

What was so furry pawsome about this hike was I had my own chickun jerky to share with Sebastian and Sebastian had chickun jerky to share with me so we both got DOUBLE chickun jerky!

Sebastian has nefur hiked like this afore so I had to show him what it be all about.  He did like the chickun jerky breaks lots.

I hads to show Sebastian how to get his paws wet.  He was all like EWWW and I tolds him to be a mandog and gets ofur hisself.

Leading the way ofur a bridge with falling waters.

Time fur anudder chickun jerky break.

Here I is 14 years old and all wonky and wobbly with vestibular syndrome and young punk Sebastian at 6 years old passes out on break.

Here I is on break, all dignified and stuffs, werking on my tan.

Here we all is on that Appalachian Trail.

Showing Sebastian some seeniks.

Well, it was fun times fur sure on this hike!  Mom was furry impressed with how well I did the furst 5.5 miles.  The last 1.5 miles I was furry tired and more wobblier and limpy but after sleeping all night, I is fine today so not only is our trip is ON but the hiking pawt of it be ON, too!  And.....
