Pebbles first trip out

Our latest rescue pup is Pebbles, 6 month old part Chihuahua and part Jack Russel will be taking her first trip with me tomorrow to 3 rivers SP for 4 days. She is very very energetic and we should have a great time. She has picked Dad as her companion ad naturally we are going to take some of her favorite toys for me to toss and for her retrieve also plenty of treats (gotta have the treats.
Our other three chihuahuas will stay home with Mom, it seems they are only happy when Mom at home with Mom and only like to camp when she is along but they are all three getting a little "log in the tooth". Especially Sammy who is old, white streaked coat, (like me) and stone deaf. Last trip I took Gypsy (8 yrs)and she was fine until Mom came to the CG, then she wanted to go home with Mom, she even refused a treat until she was in the truck and headed home
Delilah (unknown age) also wants Mom.
  • We used to camp with 5 lb Poquita and I would just let you know that big dogs are curious (like "What is that? Cat? Squirrel?" and will come running up, sometimes off-leash. Of course they mean to harm but it was sometimes scary. We kept her in a harness with leash attached so we could "airborne express" her iback up to our arms if need be. She made it to 15 years without a scratch. :) Miss that little chigger.
  • Just the beginning for a life time of memories with your fur baby. Always take pictures and make a scrap book, its always nice to be able to look back and remember.
  • LOL! I was just thinking, in response to another post - that "ALL dogs love to camp". I guess I was wrong :-) Here's hoping Pebbles becomes an avid camper!!
