Journey north
Sunday, we drove up to Downers Grove so I could go to special dog camp and mrscake could see her relatives. The camp was OK, and I played with some other dogs there. Then the human's relatives said that it would be OK for me to come in so I could meet the family. Everyone was very nice, though some people seemed to like dogs more than others. I was pretty tired by that point, so I ended up taking a nap on the nice cool floor.

Tonight was the retriever group and I got to fetch some bumpers. But it was harder because I was supposed to sit still this time until they told me to go get it. We also got in a little trouble because I didn't come right away when the human called me. I was just taking a long cut, really. Anyhow, chasing after me a little is probably great cardio for mrscake and I'm a good helper dog.

After we got home, there was a very loud noise that went on and on, and I finally started howling back. It died down, but then it happened again. It's related to this thing called a "tornado warning," which is apparently an excuse not to take me on a walk.
