Savannah's Puppy Diary

I have no idea what Camp means but it Doesn't Matter because Momma says I am Not Going There and That's That. We got in the Car the other day and I thought we were all Going To The Dog Park but Daddy drove Right Past It and even though I Turned All Around In My Seat to Look Out The Back Window at the Park Daddy kept Driving and Driving. Momma said I Wonder If Savannah Knows We Just Passed The Park and I tried to tell Momma that Of Course I Knew We Passed The Park Did She Really Think I Was That Much Of A Puppy Not To Notice. I'm Ten Months Old now and I've Learned a Thing Or Two since they brought me Home.

When Daddy finally Stopped Driving Momma said we were at a Doggie Camp and I needed to Behave Like A Big Girl and Be Friendly to the People and the Dogs at the Camp. Daddy walked me into a Building and before I could Smell Where I Was there was a Girl right on the Floor in front of me and she kept saying Hello Savannah Hello So Nice To Meet You. The Girl sounded like Momma's friend Corey so I Walked Right Up to her and let her Pet Me but then I saw that she Wasn't Corey After All so I went back to Momma.

Daddy told the Girl that we Just Came For A Tour to see what the Camp was like in case they had to Leave Savannah for an Over-Night.  I have no idea what A Tour was and I didn't know what an Over-Night was but I did know what a Leave Savannah was and I Didn't Like The Sound Of That. So the Girl walked us All Around The Camp and we saw Little Dogs in Little Crates and Big Dogs in Big Kennels and when we walked by Every Dog Started Barking and Momma and Daddy said they Didn't Like That At All and the Girl said They're Only Barking Because We're Walking In Here and I Didn't Believe That For A Minute and I don't think Daddy did Either because I saw him Shaking His Head at Momma and I think I know what That means.

Another Girl was giving a Bath to a Big Dog and I didn't like that Big Tub they had him in and why couldn't they just let the Big Dog jump into a Pool like I do at the Park. Momma asked the Girl if Every Dog Gets A Bath and the Girl said only if They Get Too Dirty Outside In The Yard. So then we went Outside so Momma and Daddy could see The Yard and Momma said Where's The Grass There's Only Dirt and I tried to tell Momma No Wonder The Dogs Need A Bath If All They Get To Play On Is Nasty Old Dirt Instead of Soft Grass. Momma wasn't Too Happy with the looks of that Yard and Daddy was still Shaking His Head.

The Girl kept saying You'll Have Such A Good Time Here Savannah And You Won't Even Want To Go Home. Well I tried to Tell That Girl that Momma doesn't let me Play In The Dirt and Our House isn't filled with Dogs In Crates and Kennels and I don't have to Get into a Tub for a Bath because I never Get Dirty and We Live In A Quiet House except when I Bark In The Middle Of The Night and did that Girl really think I'd be able to Sleep In A Kennel with All Those Dogs Barking Barking Barking.

Daddy said Thank You to the Girl for giving us The Tour and Momma said she would Call To Make A Reservation if they Ever Had To Leave Savannah For An Over-Night and the Girl gave Momma some Papers To Fill Out and Everyone said Good-Bye Savannah We Hope To See You Real Soon. Daddy put me in the Back Seat of the Car and Momma got in the Front Seat and Before we Got To The Gate Momma took those Papers and Ripped Them Right Down The Middle and said Over My Dead Body.

Daddy said Let's Take Savannah To The Park and I tried to tell them We Should Have Just Gone To The Park In The First Place.  Then Momma and Daddy kept talking about The Camp and how it was All Dirt In The Yard and The Kennels were Too Close Together and even though the Girls were Very Friendly some of those Big Dogs sounded Too Vicious to be in the Same Building as Savannah and with All That Dirt in the Yard Savannah would need a Bath Every Day and I didn't like The Sound of That. And Momma said that there Must Be Zillions of Fleas and Ticks in the Dirt in that Yard and I don't know what a Flea or a Tick is but they don't Sound Good.

Momma kept saying Over My Dead Body after each Bad Thing Daddy said about the Camp so at least that was One Good Thing about going there. Now I Know For Sure what Momma is talking about when she says Over My Dead Body and I also Know For Sure that I'll Never See That Camp again.
