BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Exotic Pets Wolf – Loki’s Story - Wolf as a Pet

We took the boat out this weekend, it was a disaster. To top it off I walked under a bunch of brush and trees. Got in the car and felt something on my arm. It was a TICK! Went home, we both stripped and found at least six others. Camping can wait another couple of weeks. They are out late this season. Of course every animal in the house wanted to be with us, the chances of the ticks getting on them all stuffed in one bathroom. I felt bad chasing everyone out.

the joys of camping :P I only ever had one tick on me. I do not relish creepy crawly things on me again. But, Camping sounds fun :P... But, as I get older, I tend to like a few more stars in my campsites ratings... ( 5 star lodging does sound nice :P)

We love to camp. This year has been so darn wet though. One river floods after the other. My tomatoes are dieing from too much rain. When we get rain we also get lightening, thunder and those funny twisty things. Speaking of which, we are under alert for strange twisty things tonight. I HATE ticks!!!! One time Erika and I went for a walk up by the house on the lake in Minnesota. This was in the middle of the Chippewa national forest in the spring. We looked down at our pant legs, there was so many ticks crawling up you couldn't see the material. We were covered from head to toe. Talking about having the creepy crawlies for weeks afterwords!! Now they have discovered more diseases that ticks cause, great!!!! Five star camping has it's advantages too I can deal with either. No phones camping, ever!!!!Phones in hotel=BAD I can be found!! By the way, Erika and Luke and kids, bought a really neat house, closing is in two days!! It is huge. Look up google earth 12th & Idaho Huron SD South West corner. The picture of our house has been updated on google earth too, it is blue now, 915 Wisconsin Ave. SW corner, also south west. The new garage is finished!!!! The one in the picture kind of got flat in the winter lol. Wasn't funny then.

LOL. but you make it sound funny now :P I broke down and finally got a mobile phone.. bleh - electronic leash. But, It does play games :P I used to love to camp as a kid. Now, I would more then likely prefer more comfy surroundings. UGH! I am growing up to become a snob. LOL. Honestly, I could go camping and actually enjoy it. The other half? NO WAY! Too barbaric. LOL. What I do miss about camping is the field of view at night. The stars are amazing. Now I go camping via NASA app on the tablet :P well, that and fear of inland taipans and spiders and all things poisonous that we have here in Oz :P

I'm not sure if I'd camp in your neck of the woods Things seem to have bigger teeth there. You come here, we'll go camping. A meteor shower is coming up in August Perseids night of August 13. I never miss it, unless there is cloud cover. There will be a full moon that night, that isn't good. Will have to consider some environmentally friendly washable black out paint and a long paint brush! We have a date with the forest that night. We have a place we camp, no amenities but it is nice. A nice lake. Very few people ever show up there, we are usually there alone. It is nice to get away, it is about the only place I can hide anymore.
