LOL. <br />
We left Hot Springs, AK for Atlanta State Park in Texas. The park was empty! For a while it was us and the camp host. Horrible hills to run and they kicked my butt. Running about 6-7 miles.. got to get ready for the 1/2 marathon in November!<br />
Left there and went to Heartland in Huntsville, Tx. Got to visit Cary a lot and it is always fun. Ran from the RV park to Cary's house-8 miles and flat! :) it was great!<br />
Then on to Debbie's house before she left to the horse congress. We always have a good time with her. Dogs got to run and play. Hard being here with out my Bay-girl. Kathy F came out for a great visit. She looks the same. Good running on the roads. got to see Kailee.. she is so beautiful. <br />
On to SA. Always good to see my mom, sister, niece, nephew, brother etc. <br />
Nice places to run and increasing mileage. Ran my 9 miles and had horrible heel pain. Plantar Faciatis ugh! went to a wonderful sports doctor and he said "I will get you to the finish line" Finally the run is upon us. Up early and meet Rick, Dorina and their running crew at their hotel. Walk to the start line and off we go! Got REALLY bad thigh cramps and had to stop and stretch, but finished in the time I wanted. (2:43.11) I hoped to finish before 2:45.<br />
Been to the coast a couple times, ate good food and good running. <br />

<br />
We left there and went to Bailey's Point.. beautiful Corp park with a lake view. We only stayed a week, but it was wonderful and dogs had a great time in the water. Next we headed to a corp park we couldn't get into so we canceled our reservation and headed to Lake Cumberland RV park. It was so nice we stayed a month! The people were so nice and the facilities were really nice. I had a lot of places to run, but OMG the hills! The hills of Ky are beautiful, but not too much fun to run. Making 5 miles on hills.. so not too bad. While here we made a day trip to the Lexington Horse Park. Had a wonderful time with the dogs at the park. Watched the "Parade of Champions" and Rowdy had a seat up near the front. He was very interested in all the horses. Cigar was my favorite and possibly the prettiest horse I have ever seen. <br />

After LCRVpark we headed to Taylorsville, Ky. Nice State Park and we always meet the nicest people there. On the 9th I got to go hunting with Jan Bell and Don Gaskell. The dogs did pretty good, except Libby getting skunked...peeeuuuuwww. My poor Libby-lou. On the 15th was the BWTA/AWTA dog trial. Buddy and Jan ran the brush hunt and everyone seemed to like it. Our dogs did really well and I am very proud of my Snap-man for getting high point Rally! Running was much more fun here- it is a little flatter. Going upwards of 5 miles now. Our good friends Pat and Al from Illinois got to come to the trial and we had a wonderful cook-out after the trial. Good food and good friends, Pat and Al, Lynne McPherson, Jan Bell, Sussane Busse, Buddy and me. From Taylorsville we headed right to the Magnolia trial. What wonderful weather for a trial. I judged the agility part of the trial on Saturday and Buddy got to show all the dogs. He did a fantastic job and the dogs came away with a lot of ribbons, a champion and reserve. My Snap-man did it again and got reserve champion in Trailing and Locating! wahoooo Snap! We got to see our wonderful and dear friends Pat and Al again. This is one of my favorite trials. We all have such a good time. Fantastic place to run (sidewalks everywhere) and got a good run of 7 miles and a couple 5's and 6 milers. I wanted to run everyday because it was so nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From Magnolia to Arkansas. We are currently at Hot Springs Catherines Landing RV park. very nice park and back to the hills for running. Made a couple 6 milers and 4-5 milers.. The hills are brutal. Buddy and I headed to the Hot Springs National park and had a wonderful hike to the top of the mountain. So beautiful.. not great to wear flip flops when hiking. (I didn't know we were going to hike up) I think the dogs were even a little sore the next day. </div>

Very nice park and we have a nice shady site. Dogs seem to like this park, lots of places to walk and they can get in the water. Rowdy still swims like a fish- just like his mom used to. Boy do I miss my Bay Bay girl. sigh. Last year when we were here they had an over abundance of skunks.. this year no skunks, but a ton of bunnies! I wll take rabbits any day of the week. Someone dropped off some kittens..why do people do that? I get so angry- can't you just spay and neuter your pets? There are too many places that do it for free to use the "I can't afford it" excuse. I hope God has a special place for these idiots. Luckily, our RV neighbors just lost their old cat and they took the 2 that were left and got them checked by a vet and shots etc. They were going to take them to the Nashville Humane society, but after talking with them yesterday, they are going to keep them!<br />
This is a nice running park.. paved roads and a nice hike/bike trail along the river. Guess what we saw!? A River Otter! He was so cute. He was on the walkway and I thought he was injured. Buddy held the dogs back while I went to check on him. On my way to him, I kept saying "are you hurt little guy? Are you ok?" I don't know if he didn't hear me (he was busy grooming himself), but I got within 3-4 feet and all of a sudden he saw me! He looked like a cartoon..his eyes got big and he scurried down the bank.. I laughed and laughed. I went back to Buddy and dogs and we continued our walk.. got back to where we saw the Otter and there he was again! Boy the dogs were very happy to see such a large critter! LOL.. he scurried away pretty quick when he saw them! This is where I have to tell you the story of relaying this all to my mom on the phone. Buddy and I used to have a shepherd dog named Otter. When I told my mom we saw an Otter, she was silent and then said "you saw Otter?" I guess she thought I had been drinking and hallucinating! It was pretty funny... I said "NO AN Otter" She said " Oh I get it now..you had me worried" LOL. I remembered taking Otter to a vet we had recently seen about Otter's allergies and he said "how is Beaver doing?" I cracked up! I said his name is Otter.. he laughed and said I thought it was some aquatic mammel! geez!<br />
Yesterday we saw a doe and 2 babies at her side.. They were awful pretty. <br />
Wednesday we head into KY to Bailey Point RV park near Scottsville KY. Hope it is a nice park and has places to run. I think my brother, Rick and his wife, Dorina are going to run in the San Antonio race with me. Think I will run the half marathon this year. The humidity here is keeping me from adding time to my 45 minutes. I keep plugging along. <br />
Almost at the end of my 4 seasons going full time. Still enjoying it and we have met some wonderful people on our trips.. maybe another 4 seasons! :)Cindi and Buddy Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13855332646667425092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564363141512403410.post-4272200982109185482012-05-27T16:46:00.000-07:002012-05-27T16:46:16.794-07:00Now back in TN and feel like we are home. Small RV park off of I75. Overniter RV park. Today Buddy and I went to the GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK. It was beautiful! I can just imagine the Indians roaming this area, with a number of critters for food, fresh water and caverns to live in. It was so beautiful. <br />

Stopped in Georgia at a really nice Corp of Engineer park- John Tanner State Park. Soon to be a County Park. Very nice only 31 sites, but clean and a large lake that has a running track around it. Up to 45 Minutes, but it just doesn't seem too fast. sigh. Want to run a marathon (on my bucket list) and I figure it will take about 4-1/2 hours at the minimum..so still have a long way to go. Couldn't do it without my shuffle! :)<br />

We got here and found it is possibly the nicest park we have been in. The lake is right at our trailer with a nice beach area. The dogs got to swim and chase the ball. We try to wear them out as much as possible. We might be asked to leave though, Izzy bit the park ranger when he came to chat with us. Why do people put their hands in our dog pen? I would never do that without asking first. Oh well, it didn't break the skin, but it really shocked the guy. sigh.<br />

De Funiak Springs and a gorgeous park and yes..dog friendly. So staying here for a month and we find a park within 5-6 miles from where we were and the dogs loved it. So, needless to say, we got to go to the park twice! It was a really great park to run- mile track around the lake.. so nice.<br />

We also saw some war helicopters and statues. The Alabama was HUGE! It was like a city in the battleship. I never knew the main battle guns were so big- 16 inch bore size...wow. <br />
They had a memorial area for Vietnam vets and Buddy saw the type of helicopter he was a crew chief on in VN. They also had a tribute to the four legged soldiers working along their human counterparts. It all was very emotional. God Bless our Soldiers, past, present and those that didn't come home. <br />

We went on an air boat ride through the delta with our RV neighbors, Barb and Rick. It was so much fun! Our capt. Chris, was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot, saw some most amazing things and had a wonderful time. Got to see a small alligator on the bank. He/she was pretty cool looking..from the boat that is :)<br />

The park only has 56 sites so it is relatively small, but large pine trees and a beautiful water site. We get to the gate and the lady says that we can have a water site (right smack down at the water) or an inland site. We said "water for sure! and grass for the dogs" We absolutely got what we wanted. we are about 50 feet from the bay and there is a lot of grass between the sites. So we set up and get the dogs in the x-pens and we start looking around...so what is behind the trailer?<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Don't Harass the Alligators? Are they kidding? First, where are they and Second, who in their right minds would want to harass them? Well, we did find out that they rarely (only seen one time) come on shore, but hey this is Cindi and Buddy we are talking about. I'm sure if it is to happen again it will be while we are here...sigh. We did see about 5 float by this morning, but they stayed off shore and the dogs can't see them. So before we take the doggies out we do an alligator check. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other than that we had some of the best seafood we have ever had at a place called the Oyster House . I got grilled shrimp and Buddy got the locals favorite. I have to say, most places you go to (inland) you get 5-6 shrimp and a ton of fries to fill your plate..this place was just the opposite, you got a ton of grilled shrimp and a handful of fries. I must have had 20 large grilled shrimp...yum! Now Buddy's plate was just packed with food, fried oysters, fried flounder, and about 20 boiled shrimp and small corn cobs..OMG! Now everyone that knows me, knows I'm not a seafood person, but I would eat there everyday if I could. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>We get home, do an alligator check, put the dogs out and watch a wonderful evening unfold.<br />

The lake is really nice and the dogs have gone for a swim everyday. We can't let them off the leash bc they want to find snowflake. Damn terriers. This is a really nice park and very dog friendly. They have a lot of doggy bags and trash bins to put their stuff in. Our neighbors, Cheryl and her husband Loyd are very nice and we had lots of laughs tonight talking about our "adventures". <br />
We will be here for a week then on east.<br />

It took me this long to write without crying (yeah right). She was a true lady and a wonderful mama dog. She did love her babies. She will be missed so much. The trailer seems empty and we still have 4 others. Things I miss the most:<br />
- her smile. She showed those teeth and grinned. If you got too close, you would get your nose bit.<br />
- The way she relaxed, by holding a stuffed animal in her mouth and kneading with her front paws until she fell asleep and she would hold on to the stuffed animal while she slept.<br />
- her love for hunting. She grabbed an opossum by the tail and pulled it out of a hole the night before she died.<br />
-her easy going attitude. She was always the lady<br />
- her love for her puppies<br />
- if you threatened to kiss her feet, she would try to take your face off.. More bark than bite.<br />
<br />

Had some elective surgery done and am healing just fine. Dogs are hanging in there, but ms. bailey is still having potty problems. I think the final diagnosis is chronic colitis. sigh. poor girls feels like she has to poop every 5 minutes and howls when she hunches over. When not doing that she runs around like a little puppy. I'm stumped on what else to do for her. She is on low protein, high fiber diet and gets yogurt a couple times a week. Anyone have any ideas?<br />
Still loving the new trailer. It is just what we have been looking for. Just love it. <br />
Hope to see everyone at the texas 2 step dog trial in Navasota!Cindi and Buddy Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13855332646667425092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564363141512403410.post-13434058086297843462011-12-24T10:41:00.000-08:002011-12-24T10:41:10.742-08:00Merry Christmas to all!We are blessed to have each other and our friends and family in our lives.

Been busy, busy. We went to Huntsville, TX and had a great time visiting our friends, Cary and Kathy. We stayed at heartland rv park. It was ok. A lot of full-timers living there in their trailers. It was nice to meet some other dog people. Saw Cary almost everyday. <br />
Next on to Debbie's house in Lexington, TX. What a nice time we had visiting and letting the dogs run around. A little windy and lot's of sand..ugh, but worth getting to see Debbie and Kailee :) Kathy came out for spaghetti one night and I forgot to give her the gate code.. sigh. But she finally got in and we had quite the time telling stories.<br />
On to Lackland AFB. What a great park! Free laundry, WiFi, cable.. nice. So close to my mom too! We have had a nice time. Cooked Thanksgiving for Mom, Nan, Kim, Brent, Buddy and Jan and I have to say it was pretty yummy! Today we are headed to Maracumba (sp) a fantastic mexican food resturant. <br />
OK now for the big news.. we are getting a new trailer...lol! we decided we don't like this one very much.

While in there a man tells us there are some deer that come through the park. I'm not too concerned..we can handle a couple deer...but we can't handle 50 of them!!!!! They were everywhere.. they walked through your site, pissed on your things and bedded down about 5 feet from your trailer. Needless to say.. the jacks were not too happy about all that. On top of the deer, there were guinea hens flying around and stray dogs... we were stressed out after one night. The dogs couldn't do anything bc of the deer. all they did was bark and want to chase them. We went to the office to get a refund so we could leave..sorry no refunds! WHAT???? They misrepresented themselves and now we are going to eat it? We had to go because there was no way we could stay there and have the dogs stressed and us stressed. So we head out and found a nice park in Crockett Texas. So here we are. I checked our bank account on line and found the Tonkawa camp charged us 2 times for an amount that was not even correct. They said they did a refund, but it is not in our bank. It has caused all kinds of problems with our finances. We are disputing the credit card charge. If anyone reads this...don't go to Tonkawa Springs.<br />
On to Crockett Family RV.. nice place. A lot of people who live at the park year round, so not many people to visit with. Izzy found the tree next to our camp site pretty interesting:<br />

It was awful, the park was ok, not great. Kinda like a trashy trailer park. Lots of Fema trailers with a number of "stuff" outside the trailers. Left after a week (Buddy said we were paroled) and moved to Ruston, La. It is beautiful so far. It is a "parish" park, like our county parks. Lots of big pine trees and a small lake to walk around. It was raining when we got here and a little cooler (53 degrees..brr). Tomorrow we are to have sun and beautiful weather. Will take pictures then.<br />

Dogs did exceptionally at this trial. Rowdy was Senior GTG champ on Saturday and reserve champ on Sunday. Needless to say his daddy, Buddy was real pround of his boy.<br />

Nice people and a great place for the dogs. There are 2 lakes behind our trailer with walking trails all around them. Every day we would take the dogs for a walk and sometimes a swim. But, the coolest thing of all was the wild life! We saw an American Bald Eagle (so magnificient! And can see why it is our national symbol) We also saw a beaver! He was none too happy about the canadian geese getting too close and would slap his tail in the water.<br />

<br />
The geese were just fun to watch when they would fly in or fly into the water when we got too close..then they would turn around and honk at us! LOL. <br />

It was only an hour away from Taylorsville park so off we go. We get there and Lynne even brought us a friend, to help dig, he was like a "pack mule." He carried almost all our equipment and wanted to dig! Todd can come with us anytime! We went to some friends of Lynne who had a small farm and we let the dogs run around. Libby got into a wood pile and immediately started baying. She stayed with it for a while and we started moving some of the larger pieces of wood out the way and found a very large cave-like hole underneath- with off shoots going every which way. Libby was way in deep. We could hear what sounded like a raccoon in there and a couple good fights. Libby came out and she had been bit on the nose by that nasty critter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9xEv9PvCN5U/ToTLoQM-l2I/AAAAAAAAAB0/AVJYNz5xMxk/s1600/DSCF2159.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9xEv9PvCN5U/ToTLoQM-l2I/AAAAAAAAAB0/AVJYNz5xMxk/s320/DSCF2159.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">my poor little Libby :(</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We cleaned Libby's lip, nose and mouth off and cleaned her eyes and let her rest for a while. So we went walking in the woods on the other side of the farm. Lynne's little dog (no hunting experience), Ripsy, jumped in a hole under some roots of a tree and she worked and worked this sette for over an hour. She put enough pressure on to bolt a raccoon! We were so proud of her and I know Lynne was too! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then we went to an old barn and Izzy was going crazy over this large spool of barbed wire. She wouldn't leave it lone! We all thought there must be a mouse in there..but OH NOOOOOO!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We went walking around the barn and found what we thought was a ground hog hole. Izzy went in and started baying and really stuck with it. We found her about 2 feet in the ground face to face with another Oppossum! we pulled her out and let Ripsy work the Mr. O. Ripsy was so funny, she almost did the splits while trying to get in the hole.

The weather has been up and down. Last night lots of rain, thunder and lightning. We are still standing and no leaks so that is a good thing.
