    There is nothing better than camping with a dog;. Old dogs are one of the most precious things on earth and deserve to be cherished and loved. I lost my 90 pound lap dog in August to cancer. It was a huge shock because we didn't know he had it until it metastasized. He had just turned ten in July and he also was having trouble with arthritis and mobility. God bless Maggie.

    It seams to me that when any dog or any person who spends time outdoors all day & into the evening , that night for some Strange reason we all sleep better at night , on that night . I guess it’s all the oxygen from the outdoors & the Vitamin D we get from the sun & all of the work or fun we have doing stuff we love outdoors . If you think about it , it’s pretty cool .

    Raising a glass to Maggie now. I know how painful it is to lose your best buddy like that! I lost mine about 5 months ago and life isn't the same. I'll say an extra prayer tonight for her and you. Also, thanks for the chicken and chips recipe. I made that for dinner tonight and my wife loved it. It was outstanding at home in a dutch oven in the range indoors, so I can only imagine how great it would be over a fire, camping. Again, my heart goes out to you for your loss of Maggie. I've made your fries many times now and decided after some debate to call it "English Fries" in honor of our mother country. I was thinking of Simon Fries, but it just didn't seem right. My wife loves this recipe!

My best friends are dogs, their love and loyalty is far beyond any that I've ever found with people. I believe that it was the American writer Samuel Clemmons aka Mark Twain who said that, " if you feed a dog and treat it with kindness, it will be your friend and will not bite you, sadly the same can't always be said of people ". Stay well & safe mate .. Cheers.
