Campin Review
Yep, we went campin' again. This time we went to Wallace State Park here in NW Missouri. It didn't take us long to drive there. Mom and Dad say that gas costs too much to camp too far away. But, it was fun. We had a great time.
Mostly we watched other doggeriffic people. There was a Cocker Spaniel and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever in the campground next to us. They didn't say much. We tried to bark at them to get their attention. (Momma yelled at us for that. Uhhh, sorry, Mom.) The CBR had to stay in a crate all weekend and only got to get out a few times a day. We felt sorry for her. I think only once did we see her Daddy take her for a walk on the hiking trails.
Cass was such a good girl! Momma crated her at night and she didn't potty even once in her crate! She went for walks with us, but she had to be carried most of the time. She got worn out easy because of her short little legs. Plus it was way hot.
The Beagley girls kept an eye on the other campsites. You can see them in the picture Momma took while they were on lookout. We are all on tethers when we're lounging around the campsite. Its a rule there. They got so worn out being on lookout that they had to take a nap in the gravel around the fire ring. Is gravel comfortable to beagles? I don't get it. I like the cool grass.
Another rule that we think is yukky is that they are only going to allow 2 pets per campsite after this year. What kind of rule is that! Lady doesn't care, cuz she doesn't go camping any more (heat's too hot for her since she's old). But the rest of us are wondering, who is going to have to stay home!
Momma's all upset about that. She says that last year her and Daddy voted for the tax renewal for the state parks program. Now that they got that renewed, they are charging $2 more per night, and they're going to kick some of the dogs out!
We realize that some hoomans don't like dogs. (We don't understand it, but we realize it as a truth). Our Momma always cleans up after us and makes sure we aren't bothering other campers. If there are doggies with bad hoomans that don't do that, maybe they should ask them to leave instead of kicking us rule-abiding, tax-paying canines out.
Pardon me while I step down off my soap-crate.
All in all, it was a fab weekend. We played ball (even Cass did), took hikes, slept a lot, and ate food off the BBQ. Yumm, Yumm!
Till next blog,

That sounds like lots of fun. I'm sorry about the change in rule. They are so evil to restrict the dogs' limit. Maybe your momma can smuggle one of you there? =P

What? Now you all won't be allowed to camp? This is totally not fair! You guys look so comfy in your camper! What a great time you had!
Love ya lots,

Hi Guys,
A Beagerly awaited report on the camping trip! It was worth the wait. It sounds like you had a fantastic trip and that everyone was well behaved. We would love to go camping we think but daddy is not so keen on camping. Mum and us are still working on him as mum has a tent and sleeping bags etc. We understand your disappointment in the stupid rule change. We watched something on TV here of a similar case in the UK where a lady had a golden retriever and its two children. A new rule was passed where people could only own two dogs so the lady had to find a home for one of her dogs. Luckily she found a friend close by who would take the dog and they can all still walk together. Have you ever heard of anything so absurd!! What is the world coming to?

that sucks about not letting more then two doggies camp. We have never been camping but it looks like fun.
It's the irresponsible humans that ruin it for all of us! Mom says it's a bunch of crap!
