There are great campsites just over there, some tents for those who prefer tent camping, and on the other side of the woods are some cabins for those who prefer more creature comforts. He has also invited us all to dinner tonight." [Harri shifts the HarriMobile into park, then walks over to greet the Chief and find out which camping area she should park in. She then pulls her vehicle around and backs into place underplace a large oak tree. She connects her electrical, water, and internet hookups, then deploys her side awnings. Once everything is set up to her liking she walks past the other campsites. In the next slot Sammy has maneuvered Amelia's RV into place and got the campsite squared away. He is setting up some lounging pillow with obvious plans to take a nap before the sun sets. As she gets to the end of the camping slots she is surprised to see Rex and Regina's RV already in place. Rex waves as Harri walks by.] Daisy-chan starts setting up their tent while Cash brings out a large tarp and nails it down. Iowna sniffing about finds the kitchen gear and pulls it out along with supplies. Another RV pulls alongside and Daisy-chan and Cash happily attach their canope across it and to the trees to the side. While they are working, Iowna carefully walks to the edge of the bushes and finds a spot with soft dirt. She digs a hole and piles the dirt back in with some leaves and puts up a 'ladies' sign then makes another with a 'gents' sign. Then she thinks of Cash and makes a third with a 'big doggies' sign. As she comes back, another tent camper asks Cash to make them one too. Iowna joins Daisy-chan to see where she can help. She's set to digging a fire pit, not too deep needed but get all the grass and roots out of the way. Since they are all firesafe, Iowna sets to with a will and digs out a shallow 4inch deep 2ft wide pit. She puts the turf to the side so it can be backfilled neatly. It makes a sort of backsplash. Daisy-chan pulls out a mini-grill that needs only 6 coals and gets it lit while Iowna pulls out 2 lbs of bacon then licking her chops, lays out the bedding. Around, you can all hear folks setting up camp. They have room for a little tent under their cover in addition to them. Lucy Lu finishes setting up the tent and starts a fire in a pit Samwise has put stones around. " I'm looking forward to having supper with Chief Smith. I bet he has lots of interesting stories. " Lucy Lu |

With a huge grin, Iowna makes a proper sort of curtzy and gives a quick
nuzzle then sniffs about and catches Cash then with a wink, trotts off to their campsite very nearby where Harri was calling. Daisy-chan shrugs, removes a small thermos from her carryall and folds into an elegant 4 legged Japanese sitting stance, toes and ankles tucked 'just so'. She pours tea (green with a little nip added) for Regina and sits back. If the tea is accepted, the apology is understood though there is no blame. JUst a sort of 'oops'. [Regina drops into meatloaf position and accepts the offered tea, meowing in appreciation of the delicious tea and wonderful nip.] Mebbe after dinner wif Chief Smith you and your travelling companions might like to join Rex an me fur some big-cat refreshments? We have a few bottles of some wonderful nip wine in the cooler. Regina |

[ Harri's wars twitch as she hears a loud ringing coming from the
direction of Chief Smith's house. When she walks out in to the clear she sees the Chief on his porch, ringing a large triangular dinner bell. She spots Big Mama headed that way, so she falls in and follows. As they approach the porch Chief Smith shouts "Come around back, please. I have the tables set up there." Both girls follow the directions and walk around the house, finding several rows of long tables set up. The tables are low to the ground, set upp to be comfortable for cats and dogs. The head table is heaped with platters of goodies. Barbequed fish, fried hominy, roast venison, and crawdads, as well as dishes the kitties are more familiar with - roast turkey, grilled salmon, roast beast, barbequed ear of sooven, and other deliciacies. As the other guests begin to arrive. the Chief addresses everybody. "Welcome to my home, everybody. I would like to introduce my grandchildren, Rosa, Angel, and Robert. They prepared all of the wonderful dishes you see here today. We are honored to have you join us here today. Please, find seats whereever you would like, then help yourself to the food. Those of you who aren't able to help yourselves, we will be glad to serve you." ] |

Daisy-chan and Cash take a plate. Daisy-chan announces the salmon is excellent while Cash checks out a Sooven ear (with a few hidden green beans under it and hoping no kittahs laugh at him for likeing them). Iowna, comes up and bumps gently into Rosa and thanks them for offering a little help. She needs only a lift to the accomodation bench already there for the venerable kittahs who do not jump well then a lift back down. Once up there, she happily sniffs and selects: 3 oz raw venison, 2 crawdads, 1 baby carrot (thinking, she adds 2 more since Cash likes them but is bashful about it), a green bean, an apple slice and 3 raw chicken wingtips. Rosa grins, glad they remembered to add a few other things to the table as Iowna jumps down after sniffing to make sure the spot was empty and trotts off to follow the scent to Cash and Daisy. -- |

Then there is a baby butter swiss, Gouda, Havarti, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Philly Cream, Brie and a facinating smelly one she is told is limburger. Sniffing about, she wonders where Mosey got to? -- |

As the plate passes, she nibbles up 2 oz of her venison which is excellent! Turning to Rex, she proffers the remaining oz if he would like it since it may not have been there when he got a plate and asks: "Hi Rex, are you also a Royal since you sit next to Regina?

It is a treat to find doggies as well-mannered as we haf met on dis trip. Actually, Regina was just about to take some goodies up to the buffet table. She fixed some traditional dishes from our country, and was eager to share them with the Community and with our hosts. She has a platter of rabbit stew with root vegetables from the valley we live in, and some of our local cheeses (including many made from goats milk and sheeps milk). We brought along some excellent goats milk limburger; may I offer you some? [Rex places some small cubes of cheese on Iowna's plate, including several of limburger, before returning the platter to Regina.] We also brought some mountain berry cider. It is brewed from a special variety of berry vine that grows just in our mountainous country. This batch of cider was made from the first berries to appear after the vines appear from under the snow - the sweetest of the season. May I pour you some? Rex |

A delicious little one that comes in several colors and so much liked by doggis, that wild wolves tend to get most of them off the bush. As Rex pours some of the precious wine, it is passed around the table, each keeping their first one until Regina gets a glass. Cash stands with his Glass and Looks to Rex and Regina. "Thank you Rex and Regina for the lovely additions and the fun of having you here. Iz a simple sort of country doggie, but Iz been graced with being about sum of da bestest kittahs ana doggies in spirit all about dis land." Bowing his head, "Iz been graced". Then he raises his glass in a toast: "Fur Regina anna Rex!" Cheers sound then everyone settles into some serious eating. Iowna gives Rex a fast lick on the cheek then tests her limburger and is delighted with it. |
