Gromit loves being outdoors and he certainly loved being outside for an entire weekend. He explored the campsite as Dave and I set up our tent, canopy and other gear and found great joy in rolling in the dirt. He sure knows how to drive me crazy! I quickly gave up on trying to keep him clean as I continued to watch him roll around after I would brush him off. He spent a good part of our first evening "patroling" the campsite by walking around the canopy over and over looking into the darkness. Who knows what he was looking for or at, but it was kind of nice knowing he was looking out for us.
On Saturday morning we had a visitor to our campsite. Gromit couldn't get enough of just staring at the elk and the elk stared right back at Gromit. He didn't bark at her, he just stared. I wonder if he'll ever bark!
We also went on a three hour hike and Gromit held up pretty well. He did get tired near the end of the hike and he was moving pretty slow... until he saw a chipmunk. He got a second wind after seeing that furry thing scurry in front of him and into some rocks. The rest of the way down the mountain he was on the lookout for more chipmunks. Silly dog!
The second night Gromit seemed to be more at ease at the campsite and spent a lot of time napping in the dirt and recovering from his hike. He also found a new comfy place to sit while we were eating dinner - our camp chairs! I guess we'll need to bring one for him from now on ;-)
Before we went home we went on a scenic drive and Dave snapped this great picture of Gromit looking out of the window. What a cutie! We can't wait to take him camping again this weekend!
