Hiking A Small Section of The AT

I love the Appalachian Trail and a few weeks ago we took off on a small section just to see how it would feel to walk where so many through hikers travel. Cocoa was up for the trip—smiling and taking in all the sniffs. Chipley pulled wanting to charge ahead. The woods are fun places to be. They contain mystery, excitement, adventure, and . . . .

 

Bears! No sooner had we headed out we caught sight of a foreboding sign. It was enough of a warning to make us tuck our doggy tails turn around, and head back to the Walaski-Yi Center at Neels Gap!

 

A Little Rain . . . .

Whoever wrote, “Into every life a little rain must fall,” never lived in northeast Georgia during the “rainy” season.

I was home today and opened the blinds so Chipley and Cocoa could see outside, but the sun was too much for Cocoa. She quickly moved on to be nearer to me. Chip, however, hung out in the sunshine and ended up falling asleep sitting up.

Good Day, Sunshine!

This morning the sun was out for the first time in days! The weather report calls for sunshine today and part of tomorrow. Then it’s back “into the soup” with more rain heading our way. I feel like Chipley, “Grrrrrrrr!”

This photo isn’t the best because we were in very low light plus it was taken with my iPhone. Still everyone was all smiles, and it was great being with friends from First Baptist Atlanta again.

People always want to know where Cocoa and Chip stay while I’m in Atlanta. I explain that they truly have it made at Bark Avenue, but I guess you have to “see” the atmosphere of the place to understand what I mean. This was taken in the lobby and is pretty much the way things are for all the puppies that stay here. It is really “ruff” stuff. Okay . . . not every room is exactly like this with leather sofas! But it’s pretty nice—flat screen TVs and much more.
