Trip to Retreat

[floraguidedog]

Last Friday Mommy began packing lots of things, including some of my things in to my suitcase. The next day I got in a car with 1 of Mommy's friends and another lady who I found out was very nice. We drove for a long long time. We stopped and went in to a human eating place, then drove some more. We finally arrived at a place called Twin Rocks Camp

Hi Flora! I love reading your journal. I am so glad that you had a great time at camp! I know your mommy sometimes isn't happy at home like she was at camp, but that is the whole point of going to camp! The getting around at camp isn't difficult, there is no waiting for buses to take you somewhere and waiting for buses to bring you back again. The kinds of activities you do at camp are different from your daily routine at home. That is why it was so much fun for you to run with people, and why it was so much fun for your mommy to know that you were able to run in a safe place!
All humans need a change of pace every now and then. Sometimes humans have dark and lonely places where their minds go. They really don't want their minds to go there, but it is something that they can't control. It just happens. When human minds do go to this place they are "depressed". Depressed is an unhappy place. Sometimes when humans change what they are doing, they can get away from the dark lonely place and be happy again. This is not anything that even the best dog (which, of course, you are!) can do anything about. It is enough that you love your mommy and that she knows it. you are a good dog, Flora, very good dog! Hopefully, your mommy will have so many fun memories of camp that she will be happy for a long time! If not, though, she can call me! x o x o
