Giving Thanks




Hi fellow furry friends!

I just wanted to share my experience at the most fun camp I’ve ever been to! My name is Barkley and I was homeless just a few months ago. The great camp counselors at Camp Bow Wow were nice enough to take me in and foster me so I could play all day with other dogs and get royal treatment rather than being stuck in a shelter! Not too long after I got there, my new parents took me home with my new brother, Slick.

For Thanksgiving, our parents were going out of town, so they took us to Camp Bow Wow for the weekend! I was so excited, I nearly peed myself in my parent’s new car, but luckily I didn’t. I think I almost passed out from excitement when I went into the lobby – hard to remember since I was hyperventilating. Anyway, Slick and I got to play for 4 days straight with so many of our other doggy friends (a lot of them I already knew from my first stay there – hi to Molly, Gertie, Pal and Bandit!) and then Slick and I got to share our own big cabin since they must know we don’t like to be separated at night (although Slick is a bit of a bed hog). We knew our parents were watching us on the Live Camper Cams so I did my best to slobber at the cameras.

So this year, I’m thankful for my new parents and brother, but also for the kindness and energy of the Camp Bow Wow counselors and staff! Not sure where I’d be without them!

Hope my parents want to go away for Christmas too so I can go back – if not for an overnight stay, at least for some day camp fun! I know my parents love it when I come home exhausted.

See you soon!
