Camping - Kitsap Memorial

Mandy and I went camping to Kitsap Memorial State Park this weekend. It was a great weekend of rest and relaxation. With the popularity of camping during the summer we didn't have much of a choice on where to camp.
We spent Friday and Saturday night there and we had a couple of nice fires with smores, good conversation and relaxation. I'm not sure if Flip Flop liked camping since he got cold quite a bit at night. He ended up sleeping in Mandy's sleeping bag the first night and mine the second. It wasn't very comfortable considering we both had mummy bags. We thought there was some hiking until we get to the end of the "trail" about 200 yards from the start. Overall it was a good weekend. Unfortunately we've got to get back to work tomorrow!

Flip Flop's Second Birthday

Well it's been two years and we've loved every day that we've had our dog, Flip Flop. I still remember the day that Mandy and I bought flip flop. We had played golf that day and had been talking about buying a dog and Mandy suggested we look for a pet shop. We didn't know of any places so we called our good friend Craig and he gave us directions. We went to Absolutely Puppy (which has subsequently closed for puppy mill practices) and looked at all of the dogs. We saw the litter with flip flop and there were about 6 that all looked like him. We weren't sure how to pick from the six and Mandy decided to pick the one that was the shy one not jumping up. We laugh now because he's a wild dog that always jumps up on people. I can't imagine a day without our dog. He still likes to chew on everything, especially Mandy's flip flops. He's been a great dog and we celebrated his second birthday with a bratwurst for our favorite dog.
