Pirate Camp

You may have missed seeing Tucker in all of the pictures I posted last week…or maybe you didn't… Whatever. He was actually away at camp last week. He went to Pirate Camp at Barkyard Day Play (aka: Ruff Inn) in Warsaw. Last week's Pirate Camp was the swim edition - which is right up Tucker's alley…considering I often let him outside to "potty" and catch him doing laps in the pool.

I don't want to be a dog mom that brags, but he was kind of a big deal at camp. He somehow managed to fit THREE water bottles in his mouth during a retrieving activity. Can somebody call Guinness and see if that's a World Record?

He learned how to pull a cannon ball from a cannon - which I'm not sure is safe or useful…but perhaps Special Ops would be interested in his ability to detonate pirate cannons.

I believe this photo was of a treasure hunt. If you bury food - Tucker will find it. He gives Jack credit for this talent - as he is always searching for Jack's crumbs in the couch, under the couch, etc.

And like most summer campers - he found love while he was away. The camp director told me that he followed this chick around all week…and the above picture shows him stealing a kiss lick. He's hoping they can be Paw Pals.

Going into the final day - Tucker was in a three way tie for Gold Medal. He couldn't quite get it done and slacked in the pillaging department. He came home the Silver Medalist- 2nd out of 15 dogs!!We are very proud of him! He can't wait to do it again next summer!

pillaging: steal (something) using violence… {hmmmmm}
