When We Were Young

This was a post that I started awhile ago and never finished! Couldn't let it go to waste! Warning: cute pug puppy Pictures ahead.

I was reminiscing today about the young ones and remembering how small they were. So, at risk of sounding like I think my dogs are children I will post these olds pictures so you can see HOW FAST THEY GROW . . . it seems like only yesterday . . . hehehe!


Notice the look in Charlie's eyes. "Are you actually taking a picture of THAT!"


Charlie was a cute little guy too! He was already 4 months old when we got him, so he wasn't as small as Chester was (since he was 6 weeks when we got him). You can see how Charlie grew into his eyes....!!!!

Camping!


Two weekends ago John and I both had a weekend off so we decided to go camping. It was a spontaneous decision (as are most of the things we do!) and we packed fast and took off. We got to the park and all of their campsites were booked so we got put on the waiting list...??....ever heard of a waiting list for a campsite? So we lucked out and they had a spot for us. It was really fun we went to Huntsville State Park a little more than and hour north of Houston. It had a big lake and our campsite was really closeby. Above is a picture of the lake by the sunset.


We rented a canoe and that was an adjustment for little Charlie. Being surrounded by water is far from his favorite place to be. His solution: hiding under my seat in the canoe. If you can't see the water, it can't hurt you.

Here we are in our campsite with the pugs! Take note that Chester is sitting on the center console of our camp chairs. He assumes similar positions in the car!

Chester was also convinced that the chairs were set up for his benefit!


Charlie and Chester helping build the fire....

Crazy John by his fire.


Charlie ate some swamp/mud/water hist entire mug was so filthy. This picture barely shows just how dirty he was. He was happy as a clam eating whatever nasty stuff he had found.
