We just got back from camping on the Gulf Coast. We had fun and I learned a couple of things. First of all, if you think you might fall and bust your fanny, carry your extra glasses. I was standing behind the trailer trying to wave Bud in as he backed the trailer up and Buzzy wrapped me in his leash, plopping me flat on my keester. I fell flat, banging right on my glasses. I hadn’t gotten in Bud’s line of vision yet, so he thought I’d wandered off, as I am prone to do. He continued backing up, but fortunately I was able to get out of the way before he flattened me.
Although the fall did kill my glasses, I escaped. I was worried whether I would have a black eye, but luckily I didn’t. If I had, I would have to have blacked both Bud’s eyes or I would have been ashamed to be seen when we met friends later. I was able to get the frames replaced, using the same lenses. What a relief. I had dreaded trying to get by with just reading glasses till I could get new ones made. I will never go off without a spare again.
Buzzy had a fine time camping as always. We patrolled the camp several times a day. He got to meet new dogs, see an alligator, smell the Gulf, roll in some different flavors of mud, walk on the beach, and sleep in the camper. His favorite part of camping is sitting on the bench seat between us at meals. He doesn’t get a place at the table at home.

I hope your glasses don’t cost too much, as I do not like camping

Thank ggodnes, they were under warranty. They are prohibitively expensive.

I am so glad you are okay and that you were able to get new lenses installed quickly. Great reminder, always take a spare.
You saw an alligator? Those things are remarkable, however, I do like to keep a more then safe distance. I was in Florida last year visiting the Villages and some friends took us to this humongous lake area and there were tons of gators. I was blown away by their size and what I would call beauty, but they have this look about them that is like, watch out, I’m comin’ for ya.
Incredible creatures, but holy heck, I respect their territory.
Sounds like Buzzy is a great camping companion too. Glad he enjoyed his mud baths.
Hugs to you my friend

Alligators are carnivorous. They are also very fast. They will grab you if you get too close to edge. Show respect!
