2018 Lone Star Toyota Jamboree

Everyone just marvels at my health and age as a fifteen years and 2 months old female golden retriever who still has excellent hearing, joints, eyes, and agility.  Camping and riding the trails at the 2018 Lone Star Toyota Jamboree was so much fun even with the rain and red clay everywhere.  

A red golden retriever can sure hide the red clay soil in her hair and clumping between her toes.  As the loyal and happy pup who always stays with her parents, I was leash free most of the weekend. Hopefully one day brother Jefferson can be leash free and stop barking at everything.  There were hundreds of people that loved dogs so I got lots of massages and petting.  We rode the rough level 2 trail Solihull through the woods.  When it rains on a level 2 trail with red clay, bump it up to a level 3.
 

Toyota Trucks and SUVs, plus owners from all over line up for a photo shoot on a beautiful day at the Barnwell Mountain Recreation just northeast of Gilmer, Texas on the final Sunday after arriving Friday afternoon, May 4-6.

Joy and Pain of Fostering a dog

Welcoming Chipper from Nacogdoches Foster Rescue in to our home. He felt right at home with toys, resting, comfy beds, and playtime with Jefferson.  Whitley just avoided him, but he really liked her.  Too much energy for Whitley, happily Jefferson did his best to tire him out.
