So when my humans first started talking about buying a new 27′ Airstream trailer and taking off to who knows where I was like… yeah right, I’ll believe it when I see it.  But holy shit, they are actually doing it!  Thankfully my opposable thumb slaves do most of the work as the chores associated with the silver bubble are tedious at best.  But “lucky” me gets to tag along and endure all their squabbles, especially when they are trying to back the damn thing up.  Doesn’t she know how to use hand signals?  Thank goodness they got that satellite dish… it’s called the “marriage saver” for a reason.

The first stop was Lake Havasu, AZ and boy was it hot hot hot.  And I don’t just mean the temperature.  It was the perfect place to discover the air-conditioner doesn’t work as promised.  They were told it would drop the inside temp 19 degrees but that didn’t happen. Outside 103 – inside 94.  A bit of a problem for a hairy girl like me but luckily there was the LAKE.

I love to swim so much I went cray cray.  Thank goodness controlling me is one of my human’s greatest pleasures.  As it was I could barely walk the next day.

My friend Bella came to visit and our humans rented a pontoon boat.  That wouldn’t have been my choice, I would have preferred a Donzi so I could go wild in style, but I wasn’t consulted so nor did I contribute to the rental fee.

We motored to the spot where they film Girls Gone Wild and of course I had to jump off the rock sans bathing suit top… and bottom!

That night we had a candlelit dinner under the stars, and a sleepover as Bella and her humans stayed the night.  I was so thrilled to have company because it gave me hope that I wasn’t going to be stuck with just my own humans all the time.  I like them and everything but a girl needs some new blood occasionally!
