Kansas City

Kansas City, Arrived!!

I booked a spot at the Longview County Park.  It is only about 5 miles from where I used to live.  It was a little disappointing. The campground was nice and we got a good spot (although not the pull through I had booked) but to get to the lake (it's a very nice, big lake) you had to drive 6 or 7 miles around to the other side.  It would have been nice if a path, foot or bike, had been cut into the woods so you could walk to the lake. Even if it was only to look at it. Very disappointing that there were no walking paths at all.

  We needed to go to Walmart so we got Buffy's stroller out and headed out.
      On the way we stopped at one of the Lake pavilions to see the lake.  While we were there a BIG dog, who was locked up in a car while it's owners fished in the lake, saw Buffy and managed to wiggle out of the car window.  It headed straight for Buffy and grabbed her head in it's jaws.  I swung Buffy up by her leash (thank goodness she was in her halter) and grabbed her and sheltered her in my arms.  While the owners who had heard their dog barking came running and yelling at the big dog.  It ran off thank goodness, but poor Buffy was shaking like a leaf. 
Here's the lake.

Poor Buffy tho, what a bad week for her, first the neck stuck in the gate, then yesterday the dog peed on her face, now today the attack. We gathered her up and went on to Walmart. When we put her in her stroller (she loves to ride in her stroller), but this time she faced the back and wouldn't turn around until almost time we left. Hopefully, she will be better tomorrow.

    We went for several walks the rest of the day, she seems to be feeling better. 

There are lots of dandelions and clover everywhere. I miss them. Really miss the lightening bugs, too.
