Rob's German Shepherd Shep's 4th Birthday Getaway
June 2nd, 2009

As we revealed last year, when my wife and I travel, our German Shepherds either stay home and guard the house, or we sometimes leave Shep and Nellie in Garden Valley, CA, deep in the woods nestled between Auburn and El Dorado hills past the famous Forest Hill Bridge (most recently used in the Vin Diesel film “XXX).  


By popular demand after months of badgering by dozens of loyal listeners, we happily revealed Shep and Nellie’s oasis in the forest and your response has been overwhelming! It’s called Dog Woods Resort. Owner and operator Theresa (and her sister Helen) are soooooo thrilled with all of the RAD listeners who have contacted them and so are Janell and I! It truly is the greatest place in the world for your dogs! Dog Woods can be reached at 530-333-2117. Or check out their website, www.dog-woodsresort.com  

 
It was Shep’s 4th birthday recently, and as a present we gave him a weekend of frolicking at Dogwoods

Here is the birthday boy, Shep, in all his glory.

And here is what Nellie thinks of Shep getting all of the attention. She’s a brat.

I promised Shep a steak dinner for his birthday, and Dogwoods is always barbequing for the pooches

Nellie of course was not far behind, waiting for her share of Shep’s birthday meal

Eventually the food was ready. Dogwoods cooks like this all the time for all of their guests…they really spoil the doggies.

They also torture the doggies by making them wait for their dinner. Shep and Nellie are stalking the table waiting for what they know as their 5 star meal.

Eventually, they gorged

And then, like God on the 7th day, they rested.


Shortly after eating, it was time to play and get wet.



The thing I think Shep and Nellie love most about Dogwoods is being with other dogs. They always make new friends and play around


Of course, no matter how friendly Shep might be, he still has to be a dick and herd and dominate a few willing participants.


Eventually, all of the dogs run, play, wrestle and do what dogs do.


And since this trip was all about Shep, we’ll finish with a few sweet pictures of Nellie
