Karma has found a boy friend here at Moose River RV Park. His name is Buddy (18 months old, neutered Catahoula Leopard). He’s a little heavier/stockier than her but about the same height and energy level. Since this park does NOT have a dog playground, Buddy and Karma must play with leashes on – which means the owners need to be agile and quick. Ruthi’s ok but Buddy’s owner is closer to his late eighties than her. She has to look out for all 3 of them.
As we have mentioned, Karma is very ball-focused. Well, Buddy has 2 toys he keeps in his yard area – a rubber bone and a tennis ball. When Karma goes over to Buddy’s space they play keep away with his toys. All Karma really wants is the ball and Buddy, rightly so, wants ALL of his toys for himself. So, Karma will purposely go for the rubber bone. Buddy leaves the ball or whatever he is doing and comes right over to get the bone. Karma acquiesces and then pounces on the ball. Buddy eventually realizes that Karma has the ball. So, of course he wants THAT now. He goes over to Karma and with a little more force than finesse he gets it back. And, the cycle repeats until Ruthi thinks they are fed up with each other’s antics and it’s time for Karma to go home. Karma is asked to drop the ball and leave it for Buddy and she does. Whew! All that “leave it” training comes in handy.
This was a great campground except for 2 things – the biggest problem was that the campground and most of St Johnsbury had little to no Verizon coverage. That caused the second issue – we did not have internet access. So, we used the campgrounds’ WIFI (1 bar - due to repairs that were needed). So, if you like being out of communications, i.e., in the country, this is the park for you. People in the office and other sites were great!
