I'M GOING TO SUMMER CAMP!

Lady has the suitcases out again. She's leaving tomorrow for the mountains. I'm going to Aunty Delena's for a week. She gives me eggs, meat, and pancakes.
My birthday party will be on May 20, then Lady goes to Thailand and I go to one of my time-share families for a week. When Lady goes to Indore, I will go once again go to one of my timeshare families. BUTT, when she gets back, we're getting out of this heat, and back to the mountains where we used to live! We'll hire a taxi (all day) to take us, because I can't go by train or bus. We'll stay for 10 days with my little buddies Wyatt and Tate. Lady has a bunch of travel in four different countries all the way through mid August. So, I will stay in my former city, and go to summer camp for two months at Nancy and Vicky's! Vicky is a boy, you may remember. They brought me down to Delhi in 2012 when I moved here. So, they will bring me home in a taxi August 17th and stay for a visit with us. Lady is so praising the Lord for this. She didn't want me to stay in Delhi in the heat, and be shifted back and forth. My main time share families are traveling as well. Aunty Delena and family are going to Africa. Aunty Gail and family are going to the DR. So, I am going back to the mountains. Vicky and Nancy live in a really cool area with lots of room to walk and sniff. And they don't have a lot of furniture for me to jump on and hurt my back! 
I will miss Lady, but she will worry about me less if I am in summer camp in the cool mountains!
Lady will ask Nancy to help me post from summer camp.

Marley the Adventure Dog's Trip Journal

Be sure to read the previous posts first! I am one happy pup to be back home, going naked in my own 'hood, catching up on pee-mail, and enjoying all my new birthday toys. I didn't eat for the first day back, but I am good to go now. I was secretly holding out for chicken, but Lady thinks it was just all the travel.
DAY 13: On Saturday afternoons, all the kids ride the bus to a grassy field by the river to play. I had a great time of exploring and running around. That's one thing I miss here, getting to run in wide open spaces with no tether! 

 The view from the field.

 I just liked hanging out in the grass and running around smelling stuff. Of course, I had to have a bath when I got home. I wasn't allowed on the bed until I was a clean boy. Lady and Nancy had dinner at another teacher's home and brought me chicken, veggies, AND paneer! Yum!
DAY 14: This is the day we went to Dhangkhar Lake and I went swimming. Please see the photos from my first post of my journey, but here are some more.

 Nan and me.

Entry to the monastery. 
DAY 15: Travel day. The principal's friend who is driving us said he'd come at 7:00 am but showed up before 6:00 am! Lady was up and dressed, and just happened to see him when she went to the outhouse. She ran in and woke Nan and me up and said, "get dressed! Our ride is here!"The man was taking his daughter to Delhi for college, so we could hitch a ride. We only had one scary incident. I had just moved into Nan's lap on the left after sitting the whole trip with Lady when a rock hit our window and shattered it, showering Nan, me, and Lady with glass! Praise the Lord none of us were cut. Lady felt it hit her face, but no cuts! We met up with Bill, Pallu, and Rae just 2 km later to take us to their house -another two hours. 

 Yak traffic jam.

We got to Bill and Rae's just before the rains. We just got ready for tomorrow's trip home. Rae made us rice and dal. I DIDN'T have a bath!! 
DAY 16: We left Apple Country at 7:25 and headed home. We had some extras hitching a ride with us to the highway, then we had more room. Bill forgot we had all our stuff up on the roof racks and started to go under the waterfall to wash the van! OOPS! 
We stopped for breakfast about two hours later. Bill accidentally closed my tail in the van door! I cried, Lady screamed and Bill fumbled with the keys to get the door open. Lady scooped me up and hugged me tight. I was fine, but I let her dote on me awhile. She took me in the restaurant and just dared anybody to say anything about it! It doesn't seem to hurt, no broken cartilage, no blood, but I got a treat anyway. Lady told Bill he owed me some chicken! It's okay, I forgave him. Not so sure about Lady though.
It's cherry season in our state so we got some fresh cherries at a roadside stand -one of many. I don't eat cherries, but Lady likes them, and bought some for Nan's mom. My tail started wagging about 45 minutes out from home. I knew where we were!! After eight hours we were almost home!  We dropped Nan off, and finally got home! I ran around in my house checking everything out, and rediscovering my new toys from my birthday the day before we left. Bill and Rae went to the Mall Road, but Lady stayed here to unpack, start washing, and go shopping for food for everybody. 
Well, that's my trip journal for this particular journey. Hope you enjoyed coming along with me. Any other furriend been as high as I have? Lady said I was a good traveler, and she is so glad I was with her!

DAY 7: Sunday, went to church. I was good. The rincipal's dog snapped at me. just because I sniffed his privates. Went on outing to the world's highest monastery (so they claim), and to a Tibetan friend's home for fresh mint tea. I just ate the cookies.

 The view from the top of the monastery

 I didn't go in. I'm from China -I've seen a bazillion temples!

 I did enjoy the view, but I scared Lady when I jumped up on the wall. We were really high!

This is what it looks like from the road below.
DAY 8: Rode the school bus to school with Lady and a load of kids. Basked in the sun, rolled in the dirt, then rode the bus back. Slept all the way. Had a bath.

 We had morning assembly every day.

 Lady taught the teachers, and I kept watch at the door.

Nan taught the little kids. Sometimes I helped her.
DAY 9: Rode the bus to school again. Didn't bite anybody, although I thought about it. Entertained the kids, rolled in the dirt, basked in the sun, rode the bus back. Had a bath.

 Day 10: Slept all the way to school even though the kids sing really loud all the way. Barked at some kids for teasing me. Got slightly scolded, but not as bad as the kids who teased me. Lady was mad! Rolled in the dirt, basked in the sun, supervised, and rode the bus back. Had a bath. 
Day 11: Lady and I rode the first bus in at 8:00 as she had lots to do to get ready for her training today. It was nice and quite with only a few kids. There are 71 kids at the school. Let Nan and the kindergarteners borrow my bone for a game. Followed the principal around, dug in the dirt. Watched kids pee outside, rode the bus home. 

Day 12: Lady and Nancy got gifts from the school. All the work I did and he forgot me. But, later I got some chicken!

 I helped open their gifts. I am an expert you know.

Lady says I am a ganda baccha (dirty baby). That's why she has to give me a sponge bath every day when we get back to the room.
Come back tomorrow for the final installment of my trip journal.
