UPDATE!! POLLS CLOSED!!
Well I really must say – this whole camping idea was grand. I know you would think that as Camp Counselor I might be busy all the time and not able to enjoy all this beauty here in the park BUT everybody is behaving themselves. Not much for the official Camp Counselor to do! There have been no accidents that a bandaid couldn’t fix (!!) and it seems like lots of fun is being had by everyone here.
Yep – I’m ONE HAPPY CAMPER along with everybody else!!
Our little friend, Baby Sabre – the newest addition to Long Life Cats and Dogs was very disappointed that he hadn’t been able to find a ride to camp – he was all packed and very excited but when his ride fell through he was devastated. SO, I called my friends at the Feline Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and asked if they had a jet in the area, could they pick him up and bring him to camp. They did – isn’t that pawsome?
Wheeee! This is a big airplane for such a little guy!
There were more nature hikers today but plenty of our peeps decided to spend the day “tent-hopping” – enjoying each other’s company in these incredible tents everyone brought. Which reminds me – if you haven’t voted in the contest – here’s your chance! (you can vote for more than one favorite too)
We had a whole crew of friends who went fishing in the streams today so we’ve got all kinds of fish!
Tonight’s dinner round the camping cookout area will feature lots of fresh fish among the usual other main courses.
I’ll have one of each please!
Tomorow morning, after another wonderful night of peace and quiet in our tents in the woods, we’re going to move to our beach campsite. Oh boy! Those of you who wanted to have a beach campout will get your wish………..we’ll have a great big bonfire celebration on Tuesday night on the beach where we’ll read the winning scary poem and tell everyone who won the virtual scavenger hunt drawing!
If you want to vote for the Scariest Campfire Poem, just CLICK HERE and scroll down to read them, then leave the number of the poem you think is the BEST in a comment on my blog.
FOR THE BEST DECORATED TENT COMPETITION – TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO CAST YOUR VOTE IN THE POLL !! DON’T FORGET !!
I do hope you will all have an enjoyable Monday at Camp Sammy.
Kitty Hugs, Sammy – your Camp Counselor

I am having the best time Sammy!! I’ll be sad to leave
Mar 18, 2013 @ 06:28:03
Thanks for saying that Misaki….I’m so happy you’re having fun and that you were able to come. I’ve seen you doing lots of fun things so far like hiking and fishing – I know you probably miss your Mom and Dad since they are usually with you when you’re exploring, but just think of the stories you can tell when you get home!! See you around camp!

Everyone has cool tents
I love mine 
Mar 18, 2013 @ 06:26:17
Hi Princess Z! Everybody here at camp thinks your tent is pawsome too…..there’s so many cool tents to visit – our friends all seem to be having a super time. Hope you are too!!
Kitty hugs, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 05:51:44
What a fabulous, awesome, wonderful get together you have arranged. Baby Sabre is soooooo happy that you got the FBI jet to collect him. Good golly, you are one well connected kitty!
Mar 18, 2013 @ 06:24:11
Hi Miss Susan! Well, the photo didn’t show up initially this morning (even though it was there last night!!)……..BUT Mom finally got it to post so now everybody can see how cute Sabre looks on that jet………he’s here now, and seems to be having a ball with all the other young kitties and pups that are at camp. We’ll take VERY good care of him and send him back to you with lots of stories to tell I’m sure!!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 06:55:23
I know he’s in good hands with you, Sammy. Hope he doesn’t get up to too much mischief. You’ve been such a star.
Mar 18, 2013 @ 08:42:26
Little Baby Sabre is being VERY good. He’s having such fun playing with the other youngsters (and oldsters!) here. We’re taking good care of him.
Kitty Hugs, Sammy

Camping is fun. I am afraid of the dark at home, but not here! I am brave!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Mar 18, 2013 @ 08:44:34
Cupcake you certainly have been very brave here at camp – VERY. I’m so proud of you and I know your Mom is too. Also, thank you for helping to take care of some of the “little ones” here – I saw you telling little baby Sabre the kitten one of your Mom’s stories to keep him entertained. That was a very generous and sweet thing to do.
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 07:05:38
Wow, what a fun time we’re having here, Sammy! (I wrote a post today about our pawrents’ get-together yesterday. I’m glad they could have a little fun of their own while we’re away!)
Love, Sundae
Mar 18, 2013 @ 08:41:24
Hi Sundae….I gave my mom a call last night on my cell and she said she and my Dad had a SUPER GOOD time visiting with your parents yesterday. I too am glad the
old folksparents had a little getaway of their own!Love, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 07:14:57
Everyone’s tents are amazing – it was really difficult to vote.
Mar 18, 2013 @ 08:39:51
I agree Clowie…..so many amazing tents. You sure can’t tell what’s on the INSIDE by what you see on the OUTSIDE sometimes right?
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 07:17:33
Whee are having so much fun. May it never end and Camp Sammy live on forever. Whee should have another one in the Summer . . . and the Autumn , maybe not Winter as it is pretty cold but all the other times is great!

Hi Boys! So happy you’re having fun….I do believe that everybody is enjoying this little getaway. Tomorrow we’ll be at the beach and THAT will be a whole new experience won’t it?! Maybe we’ll do this again too. Camping is fun and a great excuse for ALL of us to spend some time together. I saw the inside of your tent on your blog – WOW!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 08:06:20
That campfire dinner looks so good tonight Sammy! Can’t wait to head to the nearby beach tomorrow for our last day, but I feel kinda sad that it has to end soon. Well, I hope you had a good St. Patrick’s Day Sammy, and I hope you recieved your bacon, if you did!
- Camping Buddy, Poka
Mar 18, 2013 @ 08:37:59
Hi Poka…..yes our fresh fish ought to be yummy but it all looks quite good! I had a great St. P’s day – and OF COURSE I had bacon….a weekend without bacon is like St. Patty’s without a green beer……hahahaha
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 09:00:22
I am soooooo happy Baby Sabre made it to camp. I felt so bad for him! Glad you all are having fun! I see cheeseburgers and WATERMELON
Mar 18, 2013 @ 09:13:48
YES! Sammy can’t go a day without his bacon cheeseburger so he arranged for all the fixins for ALL the nights of the campout. Watermelon is definitely on the menu – and probably will be the night of the big beach party bonfire tomorrow as well…………these animals know how to PAWTY don’t they??
Hugs, Pam

This sure is the best trip and we’re sorry we were too late for the tent picture. Cocco is having a ball though!
Piggy kisses,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
Mar 18, 2013 @ 09:12:35
Sammy has said that Cocco is having a grand time and especially enjoyed meeting the guinea pig boys from Hutch A Good Life. Perhaps he didn’t know that he truly wasn’t the SMALLEST piggy in the world??
Hugs, Pam
Mar 18, 2013 @ 09:41:03
Wow that’s a big airplane for a small kitty – but I’m glad she is here now ;o) Oh all this fishies I can smell it…. and I’m hungry now;o)
Mar 18, 2013 @ 13:47:22
COME AND GET IT EASY……….enjoy the fish AND you know I got lots of chicken and turkey legs JUST for you!!!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 10:12:24
I caught a fish Sammy!! I have never gone fishing before!!
Mar 18, 2013 @ 13:46:44
BRAVO!!!! It’s a lot of fun isn’t it….and this clean, cool, clear water in the stream tastes yummy too (I think it’s fish flavored….HAHAHA).
Kitty Hugs, Sam

You sure do know how to plan a campin’ trip, my pal.

Thanks Nissy………it’s a lot of fun – even for the Camp Counselor!
Sam

Mar 18, 2013 @ 13:45:34
Hi Cody! So glad you voted………it’s so much fun here – we hope you and your Mom are enjoying watching from afar!!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Mar 18, 2013 @ 11:21:08
LOL, Ice cream sundae’s on a private Jet…that Feline Bureau of Investigation really know how to roll. BTW, Sammy reminds me of my old Cat Ginger. She was a orange & white tabby too.
Mar 18, 2013 @ 13:45:02
I guess in my lifetime (which is quite long!) I’ve had more ginger tabbies than any other type. They are so loving. All the animals I’ve had tiptoe through my life have been special in one way or another but Sam’s truly one of the most dear. He was a feral kitten when we adopted him – and he’s a polydactyl with six toes on his front paws. We resisted the temptation to call him “Mittens” (thank heavens).

Kitty Hugs, Sammy

Mollie and I are winning, she told me the award will be divided, actually, she’s willing to give her award to me so she avoids a lawsuit for using my picture without my authorization.
She’s a dear isn’t she?
Thanks for accepting her request Sam, you are nice too.
