The Reggie Report Days 51-53: Hangin out in Quincy

Day 51: After several days of the Humans talking about going to see my cousin Quincy I have come to understand that I've been mislead...intentionally no doubt.  Turns out Quincy is not my cousin but infact the name of a town that my nemesis Ryan Welch is from.  We arrived yesterday and I assumed we would be leaving this morning.  However we slept in and the Humans, after making a delicious biscuit breakfast took me for yet another wonderfully long walk.  This campsite is superbly located at the end of a long grass covered levy.  The top of the levy is flat and covered in sand, grass, trees and countless wonderful smells.  After the humans made tuna melts for lunch and I a delicious bowl of kibble we went for yet another walk.  This walk started off as they all do with me walking momma or papa on their leash (which I have trained them to hang onto so they don't get lost).  However after a short time momma burst into dance which looked like so much fun that I had to join her.  Papa was very entertained and he video taped it.  After our walk it started to rain very hard and the wind blew relentlessly, thank goodness we were not in the floating kennel.  While it rained we stayed under the tarp and enjoyed a fire while papa carved odd shapes out of wood and nearly cut his thumb off.  The night ended in a pretty typical fashion with another walk and all was well

Day 52:  Encoutering Nemesis

Today we slept in again and slowly packed up after lunch.  Momma did a great job of making a donation drive video and then we were off.  We paddled  a short distance to the park where Nemesis agree to meet us and I prepared.  While waiting we played chase, and Papa found some delicious apples in a tree at the park which we all enjoyed.  After dark Nemesis arrived (assumedly to try a surprise attack).  We went to a house which he seemed familiar with and set up our kennel in the back.  The humans were excited to wash themselves but they were fools.  They missed out on the greatest part of the house, a couch!  Oh my it was wonderful.    While they talked the night away I lounged enjoying the finer things in life as all gentlemen do.  

Day 53: Naps, Resupply, bunnies, and a wild goose chase

Well the title says it all really. I woke up this morning went into the house and enjoyed napping on the couch again while the Humans chatted with Ryan over bacon, eggs, and coffee.  Although I seldom like to accredit Nemesis with anything good I must say he is an great host and a wonderful friend.  After breakfast we got to go in a car again!  Oh how I miss rides in cars.  We drove to several stores and purchased the food supply needed to make the rest of the way down the river.  The humans were busy packing the food we needed and I went back to napping, this time on the yard.  When I woke up Ryan wanted to play fetch so I let Him throw the ball around for a while and chase me when he was tired of throwing the ball. He loves those silly games.  After packing their resupply they played their favorite card game with Ryan called Killer Bunnies! Immediately after we had to go out again to get fuel for our stove which should have been a simple one stop that turned into a hour long hunt.  We tried an outdoor store, a farm and home store, walmart, and still didn't find an item which is typically so easy to find.  We finally did thanks to Nemesis and then we were off to the river.  The humans didn't seem phased that it was already 530pm and so we set about as we usually would.  Sadly, after paddling no more than a mile to the lock we found that a barge was locking through and we would be waiting for 2 hours.  As such I took the Humans for another walk then distracted them with GORP so I could blog.  Not sure where we will end up tonight but we are looking forward to a nice night paddle!

P.S. The night paddle was lovely and we found a great spot to camp after paddling 8.5 miles.  And Ryan will always be our favorite Logi
