A Trip To Sheepfold by Bernadette
Hi, my name is Bernadette. But you can call me B.L.T. I'm a 3 year-old Pug. I'm staying with my Auntie Kelly for school vacation (I’m in preschool). When she told me we were going hiking, I had no idea what she was saying. I'd never heard that term before and it didn't rhyme with anything I'd heard before so it didn't sound interesting to me.
Anyway, I like riding in the car with Auntie because she takes me to Coughlin and Hannaford Parks in Winthrop and there are lots of interesting smells there, and great sticks to chew on. So when she put my harness on, I was pretty excited and jumped right in the car.
After a while, I realized we weren’t going to the park, so I started wondering what was up? On and on, and on we drove. I finally just lay down and went to sleep. [Human note: I got lost]. Eventually, the car came to a halt and I heard the emergency brake engage. I knew that was a sign we were getting out because it’s different than just a stop at a stop light. I heard Auntie say, “We’re here!”
When I stepped out of the car, I saw green and dirt all around me. I thought, great, another park. I can run around and smell stuff; little did I know. We started walking. After a short distance we met up with Chris, Shamrock, Mary and Marvin. I’m always a little shy with new dogs but I got over that quickly. We headed out again. We walked, and walked, and walked, and walked. It was interesting. There were lots of interesting smells. But I was wondering, when are we going to “get there”? I had to jump over stuff, which I’ve never done before. And there was a giant tree in the middle of the road. It was all very interesting.
Anyway, it was a long way and by the time we got back to the parking lot, I was very thirsty. As soon as we hit the road, I hit the floor and was snoring the whole way home. I dragged myself to the house and plopped down on the couch. I perked up for dinner but after that, the lights were out for the night.
All in all, this hiking thing was pretty cool. Life outside ain’t so bad. I’m up for another adventure on my next vacation.
