Little House in the Woods

Paul and I have made it a tradition to rent out a cabin in Vermont for a long weekend each winter. The cabin we rent is in the mountains of southern Vermont and is far enough from shopping, other people and the sounds of the city that it feels like a real retreat to go there. There is plenty of beautiful land surrounding us and the cabin is basic but comfortable. We look forward to the relaxing and refreshing nature of the trip while the dogs look forward to it for their own reasons.

Tchazo likes it because he just needs to go and stand by the door and he gets let out to run and play WITHOUT A LEASH! That is a total treat for an energetic city dog. Plus, sometimes we go out and throw things for him to chase after. Pure bliss.

He doesn't do much in the way of relaxing while we are there because it is just so much fun to play the inside/outside door game. "Can I go out again? How about now? Now?"

Jack looks forward to it too. Once we park the car, we don't get in it again until we are leaving. That means that the cabin is a place where Jack has constant company. Plus, he gets treats.

And there is carpeting for him to lay on.

What more could two pups want? We just got back from our trip and still have a few days of our vacation left. Glorious, glorious vacation time.
