Went camping this weekend at a campground on the lake, had not been there for a few years. Once there I began to walk around looking at the different sites when I noticed a very old dog. He just lay t...

We got back this afternoon from Hunting Island. Unlike Ryan's weather we had a very nice weekend. The temperature was 73* with a wind blowing right off the ocean, kind of chilly with the wind blowing. I tried to post some pictures but I am having trouble with Photo bucket down sizing the photos, so will post them later.
Old Fella could not go for a walk on the beach. The best he could do was about 50 yards and then he would fall down from exhaustion. He is not able to help us climb into the camper, Sue and I have to lift him up into the camper, that is a back bracking job.
We tried putting Fella on the floor leaving the small section {jump seat} down for Suzie and that worked vert well. Fella was more comfortable with the padded floor and had more room to move around in. Suzie got sick going to the island but did okay on the trip home. She enjoyed her walks on the beach and when she was let off the leash she didn't run off but stayed close and was very obedient.
Sue and I something unusual at the campground. Six young mothers from Columbia, SC joined up for a weekend camping leaving the dad's baby sitting. This was their first weekend camping but said it won't be their last. They had a blast and enjoyed the beach and being able to get away. Those husbands must be some great guys to let their wives have the weekend off like that.
We have two weeks to get ready for Branson. I am praying that Fella will make a great recovery by then. I think he went a little backward this weekend. Apparently he is having a problem with the Deramaxx making his stomach upset so he will have to come off that. I put him back on the Metacam tonight until I can talk with Dr. Ford tomorrow.
Okay that is all for now, have a good evening and I will talk with you later.
