Day 62 – Sevierville, TN
Can’t say that this was any kind of a special day for me, except maybe for catching up on my napping. We were all late risers, and things got off to a slow start. Don finally took me for my walk, which was mildly interesting. I did get to meet a young dog named Jake, whose human told us that he had been a stray who just wandered into her yard a few months ago, very undernourished and sickly, with no identification. She took him in and fed him, and took him to the vet to get his medical problems handled. He turned out to be a very humorous and nice guy, and she made him a part of her family. I really love to hear stories like that, because dogs who don’t have humans are very sad. It’s in the very heart of our nature to be with humans.

After our walk, Geri and Don took off in the truck to do some exploring, and since they didn’t really know what they would be doing, they decided I should stay in the rig and watch TV. That means napping. OK by me. I had gotten tired watching Don clean the windshields on the coach and needed a nap. They came back just a couple of hours later and had lunch with me, then took off again to look at some nearby stores. Then they were back again to walk me and give me my dinner, and they were gone again. They came back about seven o’clock, and told me about the show they had seen, a lot of singing and dancing with lots of music from the 50’s and 70’s. I have no idea how to put that into dog years. They seemed to have enjoyed it, saying that the young performers showed a lot of talent. Don was musing on the concept of a young Kristen Chenowith showing up on Broadway with her performance in The Black Bear Jamboree in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee as her major experience in her resume. She probably wouldn’t wind up as Glinda the Good.

Geri took me for a walk up to the office so that she could report that a bird nest was being constructed in the poop bag dispenser in the dog area. We met a little Shi Tsu, whose folks were new to RVing, and they shared some experiences. Then back to the coach, where we sat outside for awhile to enjoy the weather and the view. Tomorrow should be a bit more exciting, as we’re going to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I’ll give you a full report. G’nite, all!
