Pepper's Smokey Mountain Christmas Adventure

I went on a family trip to Tennessee! 

Baron and his humans took Mom and I on a family vacation!  Mom's sister's family, brother, and grandparents all came with us!  All of us stayed together in one big log cabin.  Baron and I had plenty of new space to sniff and mark.   We went for a car ride into town each day to see the sights and shop.   We had so much fun on our mountain adventure!

We saw pretty lights from the car windows at night, and wild turkeys during daytime car rides.  I've never seen a wild turkey before!

One day we went shopping at an outlet mall.  There was a table of people wrapping presents for donations to local animal shelters!  While one of the nieces was having a present wrapped,  I rested with Mom and her other niece.

See?  It has my name on it!  BOL!

The next day, I really enjoyed the sights and smells of Gatlinburg.
They even have a palace for me!

 I decided to pose for a photo in my pouch with Mom and her brother.

One evening, Mom and I went geming with her sister and nieces.  We found some pretty rocks in a bucket of dirt.   I wonder why there aren't any pretty rocks in the dirt at home.   BOL!  

 I spent some time relaxing in my pouch with Mom on a bench while the nieces had old fashioned photos made.

Christmas morning was pawsome!  I saw that Santa Paws had filled my stocking with presents. 

Presents!!  For me!! 

Mom wanted me to open my presents for the camera.....

Of course, I was more interested in playing with all the paper the nieces had ripped off of their presents.  BOL!

  Eventually I decided to make Mom happy and open my presents.  

(Okay, the truth:  I smelled the treats she put inside the wrapping paper.  BOL!!)

Look at all the toys Santa Paws brought for me at the vacation cabin!

 

After all the presents were opened, Baron and I had fun playing in the torn paper that was all over the floor!  It was like another present to us.  BOL!

During our stay in the cabin, the humans enjoyed the pretty view from the balcony.

The Smokey Mountains are smoking!

Baron and I preferred exploring the "back yard" slope.  BOL!!
We received one more surprise on our last morning at the cabin.............

SNOW!!

"Back yard"

  
 

I wore my pretty black velvet coat while I investigated the snow.

That's the tail end of my Smokey Mountain Christmas Adventure.
