Camping Trip!

Guess what! Guess what! We went camping!!! Woo-hoooooooooooo! Here’s some highlight’s to our short 2 day camping trip to Denny Pond:

My Mom decided it was time to give me a whirl in the kayak as a Tripawd now. She brought the trusty ole’ bath matt to put on the bottom of the kayak floor so I wouldn’t slip getting in and out. When she asked me if I “wanted to go for a ride”, I started jumping in before she was even ready to help me! Heck yeah, Mom! Let’s go!!!!!! Well, needless to say, due to my excitement, my Mom shed a few tears going around the pond with me. She was “touched” by me once again! How come I make her cry? I know they are ‘happy tears’ now but geez, Mom…don’t be such a gush! 🙂

Maggie’s first kayak ride as a Tripawd

Here’s a short clip of me being a ‘good girl’ and just quietly watching the Momma duck and her babies float by in front of us:

Sunday morning, I went squirrel hunting as they were chattering up a storm next to our tent site! So I stealthily and quietly went stalking for the little buggers and I found ’em…that is until Mom said I had to come back to the tent site 🙁

But Oh Mom, I LOVE stalking squirrels!
Squirrel! I found ’em!!!

Then here’s me Sunday morning after I had breakfast…back to the tent on the air mattress for a nice little morning nap….ahhhh, I LOVE camping!

Morning snooze in tent after breakfast…zzzzzzzz…….

I don’t know why Mom insists I add this photo to MY blog but here it is…me and my annoying little sister, Haley, on the walking trail to Gaillee Pond on Sunday morning. It was early but wicked humid as our tongues can tell you! Mom said I was a TROOPER on the fairly hilly trail…actually, I think my Papa was having a harder time keeping up with my Tripawd gait ’cause he’s nice enough to keep up with me vs making me slow down 🙂 I wasn’t all that tired either – that makes my Mom happy…

Hot Dawgs!

So, there’s my recent adventure…until next time, keep on hoppin’!

Maggie was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma on her left knee. She had amputation done on October 20, 2009. Four days after surgery she had a low grade fever and was off her food for two weeks! Trying times.. I am grateful and so pleased with how she is progressing now.

  2. Good morning Charon and Gayle!
    Me, um, I don’t like the water so much…I am just a ‘wader’…no swimming for me, so no I didn’t want to jump in 😉

  3. What a fun adventure! I love to hunt squirrels too! you were such a good girl sitting in the kayak! I don’t think my mom would trust me to do that without me jumping in the water.

  4. I’m getting ready for my first camping trip since my ampawtation…mom is REALLY nervous as being a husky I like to run and run. I think she’s planning on leashing me up for a while. That’s not fair as she’s never felt the need to do that before, but I am not a very good listener. I always put in my “selective” hearing aids when we are camping….

  5. Maggie Moo!! You are so amazing! I haven’t been on your blog in awhile but I sure do miss reading about you and all of your inspiring workouts. You go girl! So proud of you and so happy to know that you are doing so well. Yea to camping!
