Meet Harley. Campground Director.

Posted by Barbara Techel

We had to call and wait for the owner of the campground to come to check us in when we arrived early this afternoon. Seems it is pretty much a one-man operation.

Well, that is, until the owner pulled up in his golf cart and to my complete joy he had with him his campground director extraordinaire. Of course, I had to ask right away, what the dog’s name was. “Harley,” the owner said.

As you can see, Harley takes his job quite seriously. Though he did get a little cat nap inside the office while the owner checked us in. Because, well you know, every employee deserves a break.

But soon enough, it was time to go back to work as we needed to be taken to our campsite. No better way, I think, than to have Harley take us there.

Thought you might enjoy meeting Harley, as much as I did. He is super sweet and I hope to run into him a few times while we are here for the week in Alabama with much warmer weather. Ahhhhh, yes. Going to enjoy this.

Working Dog on Lunch Break

Posted by Barbara Techel

The Working Dog

As I often do, once or twice a week, I head into town to our popular cafe, Off the Rail, for a little bite to eat. It’s a nice break in my day and I also like that I can be among people for a little while since I often work alone.

Today as I pulled up I saw this adorable dog. He appeared to be waiting for his person.

I chuckled to myself and just had to get a picture, because it looked as if he too was on his lunch break.

I was pretty sure I knew who he belonged to, as I’ve seen him hanging out in the back of a pick up truck now and then when I’ve been at Off the Rail before. Though I’ve always wondered what his name is.

But sure enough, as I was walking through the door of Off the Rail, Joe, a local landscaper was leaving with his brown bag of goodies.

I asked him if that was his dog waiting for him in the truck. He said it was and that his dogs’ name is Nitschke (not sure on the spelling).

As I drove back home I pictured in my mind these two working buddies sharing a bit of lunch together and then heading back to work for the day. It brought a smile to my face and my heart.
