Road Trip: I was promised harps and fairies!!

Puppy declaration coming up: fall is my favorite season! Leaves that crunch and scatter when you pounce on them... cooler weather that gives me extra romping energy. Yep, doesn't get better than fall.

Well, except for winter... I mean, what is better than chasing your buddies into a giant snow pile? Nothing! Except, of course, rolling around in a bed of fresh flowers in the spring... And we can't forget the magic of swimming in summer... 

Anyway, you get my point. Fall is AWESOME! Almost as awesome as being promised a weekend getaway with harps AND fairies! Unbelievable? Too good to be true? 

Boy oh boy, I was so excited - just salivating on the prospect of gnawing on a harp and chasing after a fairy. 

Instead, my parents packed up the car and drove to West Virginia to a place called HARPERS FERRY that had - you guessed it - no harps and no fairies!?

Keeping a watchful eye for harps, fairies or anything else of interest.... squirrels, deer, neighbors...

That said, my disappointment didn't last long as we did my favorite activity in the entire world (I mean, other than the BIG THREE S's - snacking, snoozing, and swimming)... We went hiking!!

I was so psyched. I take hiking super seriously. I mean, a puppy has to - I'm constantly amazed that my humans don't fall down as they wobble around on their two legs... Honestly, I feel so bad for them sometimes. So I make sure that I'm leading he expedition. I love to walk in the front of the pack, sniffing everything I can to determine the threat level! Once it's puppy approved, we move on!

Harpers Ferry is a great park for puppies like me. Nice wide trails, well-marked to keep my humans from getting too lost, and many puppy-friendly restaurants that have treats and water available to pups.

Leading the way!

Making new friends!

Made it to the top!

Post hike zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
