We just got back from another few days camping in San Simeon and this time my mom took pictures !!!!!

 

For a present my pawrents got me some new stairs to make it easier for me to get in and out of the camper.

I got to run hot laps around the campground again and I had lots and lots of little kids come over to pet my belly and feel my soft ears....

 

I was so worn out saturday night - but boy did I have fun!

Five months! Looks like you celebrated in wonderful style, Riley! A camping trip, belly rubs, and -- what IS that thing you're eating???

There's no such thing as spoiling. You deserve every bit of pampering. 

Our Riley says so. 

Hope you have many, many more happy, smiley days.

WOW!  Riley you have got a swell mom and dad!  Happy 5 month ampuversary! 

I'm not a camping person myself but between you and Cooper always going camping, I'm getting the camping fever! 

 

That's a great looking mess of fish!  I bet it was good!

Ooooh! I love camping. I wish my people would take me camping again some time soon. The food is always so good when you're camping. Plus, tents are like dog caves with blankies!!! Awesome. If only I could take my comfy bed with me when I go camping..... Cuz when you get to be my age, sleeping on the ground is NOT an option.

Looks like your special day was pawesome!!! You deserve it!!!

Happy 5 months!

Thanks everypawdy for the happy wishes……

 

The red things are Rock Cod – my dad got 3 of 'em – I got to eat fish for dinner – but they wouldn't let me roll on them which is what I really wanted to do….My dad goes out in the middle of the ocean in a kayak and catches fish – crazy huh…..

 

As for the steps, they are the "Pet Loader Steps" they worked great going up and down – but the sign says Dogs Only – No People but my pawrents used them just fine – so you can use them for people too.

 

Next on the Calendar is another camping trip to another place that has lake fish not ocean fish – so that ought to be fun too -

I'll keep you posted…….

 Ohh so you want proof…. I see how it is , most of the nice people and dogs here dont require more than a spoken statement to know their friend is on the up and up, but proof you want, proof you shall have Monkeypinhead…err I mean MonkeyPIRATE… I shall be at the cabin again this Friday so we shall have your proof.. everypawdy knows you are just jealous cause you dont have a cabin or get to go camping…

Here's me parachuting this weekend!
