The dogs caught the mood from the humans, and wagged their tales and lolled their tongues accordingly. (wrong tale, you mean tails)
(Where did you go? Sixty five degrees sounds great to me.)

The RV I live in is smaller than that. It's just a travel trailer, not a fifth wheel.

Hi there Heidi;
Howie and Bernie truly had a good time. They loved the difference in their routine, and usually they are simply happy to be around me. I loved being away from the house and the chance to tell jokes, stories, and play tons of games. It was great, we were in Keizer, OR, so the morning temp was nice and mild,

Hello Patty: What an awesome story and as usual so well written. I enjoy these stories so much from you. You are an exceptional writer. I loved how well you described Bernie's hesitance to accept Barney. The whole experience and trip described, made me smile and laugh throughout the read of it. I am in love with this story and happy that you had such a great time.

I just returned from vacation so I have a lot of catching up to do. Have a great day.

Hi Patty. This is a wonderful story that I enjoyed reading. You've explained your fun experience with friends and the dogs clearly. Your writing is humorous with the cute antics of the dogs, spoken primarily from Howie's perspective. Marilyn

What a gorgeous camper you have. Must have been great to see the total eclipse live and in person. And you took all the dogs with you, too. You are braver than I am. LOL

The eclipse really was something.

The story is fun and I enjoyed reading it. I'm still trying to write about my eclipse experience, which was profound, but I can't get there quite yet. Maybe tonight.

Nice to see Howie and Bernie git to experience the total eclipse. Oh yes and let's not forget Barney.
At first I thought the boys were going to get visited by a giant purple dinosaur.
That's the first Barney that came to mind. Then it came up about Andy Griffith's sidekick.
Great story!

Hello, Patty,
I'm hoping and praying my dying computer doesn't crash. I'm not a premier member anymore so I'm not reviewing poetry unless it's spooky :P
This was great. You have a way of writing that is very sweet and involving. :)

This is another nice story of yours. It flowed right along. The dogs are so interesting to read about. They're like one or three of the family.
Good job.
