Two pampered pooches rough it at Roosevelt Lake, Arizona, a desert camping hot spot, literally. This was Gigi and Elmo's first time in the wilderness for a 24 hour stretch. See what happens.

1. Roosevelt Lake, Arizona
Sept. 10 to 11, 2016by ryn gargulinski

2. Yahoo!
We’re going
camping…
What’s
camping?

3. Why does Beezel look
so annoyed up there
driving? Is camping
supposed to make you
cranky?

4. Are we there yet?
I hope camping
means more than
riding in the truck
for hours….

5. Don’t we ever
get out of this
truck? Geesh

6. OK, we’re
out of the
truck – and
into the
heat.!

7. Hey Beezel – Is this
camping?
Hey Elmo – What
do you think?

8. Where’s the air
conditioning?

9. Hey, Elmo –
Look at that
sky!
Where’s the air
conditioning?

10. Beezel said it
wouldn’t rain. But
those clouds sure
look ominous.
Where’d you learn
a word like
“ominous?”

11.  Fast, furious and quick.
 But with just the right timing to hit before the tent’s
rain guard was in place.
 And just long enough to make most everyone wet.
Now I am wet.

12. I ran under
the metal
roof thing
with Ryn,
where she
hid after the
rain guard
blew all over
in a fiasco.

13. Look, Elmo
– a rainbow!
I heard the
rainbow
gods make
wishes come
true.

14. This rainbow wish
stuff is right on.
Dinner. Water.
Cushy mat.

15. Now about
that air
conditioning

16. Never mind
the air
conditioning.
Beezel’s
doing
something
that smells
good.

18. This rainbow
wish thing is
now delivering
steaks!

19. And
relaxation

20. And a
house-like
thing

21. This house-like thing
isn’t bad. No AC, but I
got a fan. And an air
mattress. Wonder
where Ryn and Beezel
are going to sleep?

22. Darkness
Came
Ryn and Beezel did get
about 1/3 of the air
mattress (combined).
The dogs got the rest.
And then the wind
began, whipping and
flapping and
smacking the tent well
into the wee hours.
Gigi did not like this.
No one got much
sleep.

24. Thank the
rainbow
gods it’s
morning
and I’m out
of that tent!
This air
mattress is
where it’s at.

25. Man, that
house-like thing
got hot, quick.
And now the
sun’s starting to
bake already.
Wish the rainbow
gods would have
listened to you
about the AC

26. Maybe if I lie in
the bushes like
I’m dead they’ll
get the hint and
we’ll go home.

27. Yaay!
Home we go!
Think it takes a
special breed to
like that
camping stuff.

28. Well, that
breed ain’t
me!
Ditto!

29. Thanks for viewing!
