We got up early yesterday and went for a drive
before it got too hot.
Mom & Dad are on vacation this week and they wanted to look for a new place to go camping
Bailey says come on! I am ready to go!
I like to be the navigator
Are we there yet????
Once we got into the forest
we saw some deer!
there was two of them
but they ran up the hill away from us
A little further we saw a buck,
his horns just growing in velvet
Dad stopped the truck so mom could get a picture
but he got behind some trees and did not come out
It sure seemed like a long drive
and we didn't find any good camping places.
Not even any good places to stop
and get out and explore a little
On the way home we took a potty break
at a rest stop off the interstate
We were soo disgusted at the condition of the pet area
It was dry dead grass and poop was everywhere
you could hardly walk around.
THE worst rest stop pet area we have experienced.
Mom wished she had some of OZ's scoop your poop signs
Then to make matters worse,
later in the evening Mom found a wood tick on herself!!
Freaked Mom out!
Dad thinks she must have picked it up at the yucky rest stop
We only stopped one other place and that was as we were going up into the forest where it was shaded and cool.
Good thing we had our flea and tick stuff for when we
do go camping, mom & dad want us to be protected.
We are gonna lay low today
It is supposed to get to 99 degrees!
We are the PugRanch Kids

We hope your camping trip gets better! We can't wait to go e-Camping. I hope we don't run into any e-Ticks on our trip.
ReplyDeleteWow, going for a ride is always a fun time! I went for one yesterday too. Maybe next trip will turn up some camping spots and a better rest area. Yuck. Gee those deer pix look like you were right here in my territory!
ReplyDeleteGrr and Woof,
Sarge, Pol Comm
Ugh! A tick! I hope your mom is ok. Stay cool friends!
ReplyDeleteWell, at least it was a pretty drive, but YUCK about the tick! That gives me massive heebie jeebies. And isn't it so annoying when people don't pick up after their dogs?! People can be so lazy and irresponsible. Hope you find a shady spot to hang out! 99 is way too hot for us!
ReplyDeleteWell bummer...on that nasty pet rest stop. 100% a shame..it is not better cared for!
ReplyDeleteTicks make mom itch all over.
Bailey I bet you are a good navigator....at least better than the Garmin my peeps used to have. It was just plan crazy.
99 in I DA HO good grief that is hotter than here in Dixie...we expect 96 with high humidity.
Hugs madi your bfff
Bailey we bet you are a better navigator than the Garmin my peeps used to have. It gave nutty directions and Dad argued with it all the time. MOL Ticks are scary...thank goodness your mom found it. What a shame on the pet rest area. The pet peeps were very irresponsible not to clean up.
ReplyDelete99 in I da Ho is dang hot. It is supposed to be 96 here in Dixie with high humidity too
Hugs madi your bfff
Nothing freakier than ticks!! Sorry you didn't find another great camping spot. I have to admit that is kinda funny given you where you live! The whole state is one giant camping spot to me! : )
ReplyDeleteLove, Gampy
OMD the pictures of the deer are super. Sorry that you didn't find any good spots fur camping.... AND even SORRIER that the PEEPS allowed that rest stop to be in SUCH NASTY Condition... YUCK... SHAME ON the ones who did not pick up the poops...
ReplyDeleteWe do not think highly of Ticks either... Those are bad thingys fur sure.
We hope that you don't MELT in that HOT Weather... butt remember... you don't have to SHOVEL Sunshine...
that is tough going for a drive and not even finding anywhere nice to get out....and ticks are just yucky.
ReplyDeleteYUCK! We have seen some really bad pet areas too. If only people would be responsible then maybe we could get something nice! We are hot here too, 100 degrees for today. Me and Stanley are sweating our paws off!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
We can never understand why people want to have facilities and then don't take care of them. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteWe're sure you'll find a perfect camping place sometime.
Oh boo, a tick, bad rest stop and not a good camping stop, NOT A GOOD TRIP!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Pirate Scots
Pees; keep watching you guys will be story in a week or so, you Guys will like what you do! cause you good at it!
Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteDid you get to bark at the deer? I hope so. That's gross about all the poop, just nasty. Next time share your flea and tick meds with mom.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
Well, at least you got to go in the car
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward

Oh No!!!!! What a horrible day! Heat, ticks and messy rest stop. That's enough to upset anyone! What's wrong with some people?? So thoughtless!! Never mind ...... it can only get better and you'll find a great camping spot real soon.
ReplyDeleteTICKS ........ YUK .... DOUBLE YUK!!!!!!!!!
Hi Hazel, Greta and Bailey,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that your trip wasnt the best but it looked like a lot of fun, even the horrible days can be funny when you look back on them, I'm sorry to hear about your Momma getting a tick and that the poop area was indeed totally S**T and coverd in it too! BOL!
Thank you for your kind words to my Bionic Ernie, the lumpies have been removed from his tail and he is doing well, he was told by the VET not to wag his tail (How can he stop???) we will hear in 7-10 days what the lumpie bumpies are, so we still have our fingers crossed!
Love, Licks and hugs from Frank xxxxxx
OH wow that sounds like quite a trip. So sorry there wasn't a more pet friendly rest stop, sounds perfectly yucky. And a tick is scary. I just pulled one off my daughter's head (ahhh) the other day and it has me very upset! Hope the next trip is a bit better!
ReplyDeleteWell maybe instead of taking the interstate you should take the road less traveled. Yep Lee and I try to do that, go where no dog has gone before. I have hope that you will find the right camping spot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
Oh that's bad that there was no place for camping and not even the dog area was a good place. I'm glad no one of your peeps got "decorated" shoes and I hope all is ok with your mom after she removed that evil tick. Now the tick has to walk the whole way back on his feet, that's a fair punishment for attacking your mom!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! the evil tick took the swirling water ride BOL!
DeleteThose deer are amazing. But, sorry to hear your potential day of adventure turned out to be a bit of a bust. Sounds like your mom might need some Advantage to keep the ticks away! :)
ReplyDelete-Love,
Sid.
