Northeast Adventures

Posted on by December 10, 2025

In September, we took an exciting trip up to New England. This was the busiest trip we’ve ever been on, with stops in Virginia, West Virginia, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Pennsylvania. Charlie and Bobbi said we were terrific pups the entire trip!  We loved all the new smells.  A favorite stop was at our Aunt Debbie and Uncle Rick’s place in Vermont.  We were able to be off leash for our entire stay. We LOVED exploring and hunting critter friends. Bobbi and Charlie must have been having fun, too, because they didn’t even think to take any photos of us. Weird! Anyway, we hope you enjoy these photos.

Traveling Adventures

Posted on by July 24, 2025

Lola fits right in as a traveling, camping, swimming, and critter watching member of the family.  Since April, we have been to Thunder Canyon Campground and Florida to see family, both two times. She has picked up on the cues Trooper receives, and hovers around the camper close to travel time. No one stands a chance of being left behind! 

 

2025 News!

Posted on by February 12, 2025

Happy New Year everyone!  2024 came to an end with Trooper facing another surgery.  In November, he ended up tearing his other CCL and required surgery in December.  Thankfully, with therapy, he is back to walking (and running) on all four legs again.  As we all know, playtime is more fun with a friend. The time had finally arrived to find Trooper a new sister. We would like to introduce our newest family member, Lola.  She is a beautiful 4 year, 10 month old brittany.  Lola is a loving and active girl, ready to sniff out any critter in yard.  She enjoys car rides and has heard from Trooper that we’ll be doing something called camping. Lola is not quite sure what that is yet, but is sure to find out soon. Stay tuned to more adventures in the year to come!

Sweater Weather has Arrived!

Posted on by October 19, 2024

Cool morning temperatures have arrived in Georgia.  Trooper loves his three sweaters.  He is hoping for a new one this Christmas!  A couple of these photos were taken by Trooper’s physical therapist last winter.  He had therapy sessions following a CCL surgery of his knee.  Trooper healed wonderfully and is back to his ball chasing self. 

 

 

July in Alabama

Posted on by July 24, 2024

Hot and humid July weather didn’t keep Trooper and Bobbi from tagging along on Charlie’s work trip.  We spent about ten days at Thunder Canyon to visit with friends and work on some upgrades to the Wifi. Then, we spent two weeks in Scottsboro so Charlie could work on a customer project.  Trooper and Bobbi kept each other company hanging out at the campground, taking walks, and most importantly playing ball! 

Month of Adventure

Posted on by July 24, 2024

In April, we went on the longest trip we’ve ever taken.  We visited Thunder Canyon Campground in Ider, Alabama.  The highlight of this stay was seeing the beautiful little chapel built in 98 days!  We were blessed to have been in attendance at the very first service on Easter morning.  Other highlights of the trip included seeing the total eclipse outside Little Rock, Arkansas, visiting the Grand Canyon and family in Arizona, exploring Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and touring the battlegrounds in Vicksburg, Mississippi.  Last stop was to see old friends at the dog park in Alabaster, Alabama.

 

 

Dusty

Posted on by December 17, 2023

Our family had the pleasure of having a house guest for just over three months. Eight year old Dusty was our foster through the American Brittany Rescue.  He is a retired plantation hunting dog. We had the joy of taking a couple camping trips while Dusty stayed with us and he did great! Trooper loved having a buddy and was sad when it was time to say goodbye.  While all of us grew attached to Dusty, his forever family awaited him near Charleston, South Carolina. We are thankful Dusty’s new family sends us occasional updates.  We wish him a wonderful retirement with his new family.

Summer Getaway (Part Two)

Posted on by July 19, 2023

After the work week in Scottsboro, we spent a few days at Thunder Canyon Campground in Ider, AL.  We lucked out and were able to get the coveted bamboo forest campsite.  In the cooler mornings, we enjoyed helping with a few projects around the campground and exploring the canyon.  On this visit, about a half hour drive away, we discovered a quaint little restaurant called The Hatter Cafe in Mentone, Alabama.  This is an Alice in Wonderland themed restaurant.  We had to visit as Charlie is a fan of Lewis Carroll.  Doggy guests are welcome on the porch.  We had a delicious meal and lovely night out as a family.  According to Trooper, the best part of trip was celebrating his birthday.  On July 17, Trooper turned 9 years old.  Please join us in wishing Trooper a wonderful new year in his life!

 

 

 

 

Summer Getaway (Part One)

Posted on by July 19, 2023

This past week, Charlie’s work took us back to Goosepond Colony in Scottsboro, Alabama.  Trooper and Bobbi enjoyed nature together.  Thank goodness we brought multiple balls.  One ball rolled in a deep hole by the edge of the water and was never to be seen again.  Trooper was a happy camper since we had back up balls!
