Gosh, I bet some of my readers were beginning to think I had disappeared. Jay has been busy doing things he says will help keep the RV warm easier this winter. It was cozy last night when it got cold outside. I've been just plain lazy and stayed burrowed under my blanket the past few days. I don't like being cold. I have a light jacket, but I'm getting a warmer, custom one cuz of my bum shoulder.


I was telling you about Las Vegas, a place I think is more for humans than dogs.
Now, Pahrump, Nv was fun. We were there 3 days in the spring and I got to go to the park everyday. One day they had lots of old cars. I'll have to take Jay's word about all the nice colors they were painted since dogs see only limited colors. They called it a car show and I liked it because Jay was having a good time. My favorite thing a was booth that was giving out free doggie snacks and helped other dogs find good humans to adopt. The dogs shared their water bowl I wished them good luck...they could see I was happy with the humans I had adopted.
We played in the desert and met some new people with dogs I could play with.
Jay & Margie only stayed in the casino long enough to use what they call "free play" that's given with some kind of club card by most casinos. I think we all had a good time in Pahrump-pa-pum-pum (sorry, Jay couldn't resist typing that, LOL)
They loaded up a whole bunch of groceries while I watched to make sure some new goodies were put into "my" cabinet.
The next morning we were off down the road again.

Our next stop was Amargosa Valley the same night. It was warm there and we stayed a week enjoying the comfortable spring weather. We did a lot of exploring. There were animals there too. They had a huge bull that I was told is one of the largest in the country. He's very old now. J & M liked the collection of antiques inside and around the grounds of the RV park. I liked the big grassy yard where I could play.

We went to Beatty, Nv next and it was a strange place. I never saw one before, but they have wild burros walking around town. Can you imagine that?? The relatives of the ones left in the desert now are descendants of burros used buy humans here about 100 years ago. Many of them will come right up to a person who offers them snacks. They like carrots just like I do, but they will eat them all up if I don't speak in time. One morning 2 burros came to our door looking for a treat. Margie gave them little rice cakes and I got one too. Burros aren't so bad as long as you make sure they don't eat all the goodies.
Beaty has a big park where Margie put down a blanket and we all relaxed in the sun after they went to a museum.
J & M had heard of an RV park with hot mineral baths, so we went there. I don't like baths and whatever minerals are didn't change things for me. They kept saying "bath" and "water", so for 5 miles I worried I would have to endure the
dreaded B-A-T-H. Wow, was I ever relieved when I heard no doggies were allowed in this bath. Whew....now, I could concentrate on meeting the dogs that lived there. They both had long shaggy hair and were fun guys. We ran around and they showed me their 2 buffaloes, some ducks, chickens, and a goat. Of course, I barked since these things were new to me. Jay warned me, but little barks kept slipping out with him shaking his finger as I tried to stop. That was funny because Jay was trying his best not to laugh. Margie was cracking up over by a tree. It was everything I could do to keep from barking louder. The hot springs place turned out to be good for us all. J & M relaxed a couple days and I had a great place to play with new friends. At that time of the year there were only a few RVs there and everyone was friendly. I liked the meals they all shared under the big tree. Doggies get lots of good munchies at those.

We also met up with a guy Jay had known in Arizona years ago. He was a nice guy, but his big dog was real old and didn't like little doggies much. Margie fed some more burros and this time I didn't get close enough to bark at them. I was tired from walking that day and fell asleep soon as we got home.

Next day we went to a place called a ghost town while we were in Beatty, but I didn't see any ghosts.
I'll tell you about that little adventure next time.
