Chapter 2
Our First Day in the Camp
The camp “Eagle’s Nest” was located on an island surrounded by the Sea of Japan. We could hear seagulls that were flying in the sky. The sun was shining, and the weather was fine.
“Oh, I like it here!”
“All of the nature looks so beautiful!” the girls said one after another.
“You are right, the nature here on the island is amazing,” said our captain with a smile. “Look there, can you see the forest?”
“I can see many trees, is it a forest?” Timmy asked.
“Yes, this is a very beautiful forest. There are many good places for hiking in it. I love to go there.”
“Will we go hiking too, Michael?” Bill asked.
“Oh yes, you will!”
“Cool!”
“And now look in this direction. Do you see mountains?”
“Yes, we do!”
“There are a lot of wonderful waterfalls and caves there.”
“Wow, I love waterfalls and caves!” Bob said.
“And the best thing here is a beach! Look, the water is so clean and clear here!”
“I have read that there are a lot of starfish in the Sea of Japan. Is it true Michael?” Betsy asked.
“Oh yes, my dear, there are so many starfish that puppy girls like to collect them and put them around their necks like necklaces and make amazing pictures. After that they put them back in the water of course”.
“Oh, this is so wonderful!” Betsy was excited.
“Yes, you can find a lot of interesting things here in the far east. Anyway, look here guys!” Michael pointed toward the nice houses that were standing on the island.
“See, there are fifteen cottages in our camp. Ten of them are for puppies like you and two are for leaders and other dogs who work here. That big cottage belongs to our boss, Mr. Rish. His apartment is on the second floor and his office is on the first floor. And those two other cottages are for puppies’ parents in case they would like to visit the camp”.
“Wow that looks great!” said Bob and Bill at the same time.
“But what cottage are we going to live in?” asked Timmy.
“One moment, let me show you.”
Michael led us to the nice yellow house.
“Here you are, guys,” he said. “This place is going to be your home for the next three months. A room for girls is on the second floor, and boys will live here on the first”.
“Nice! I cannot wait to look at our room. Let’s go Betsy”. Marry took my sister’s paw and the girls ran upstairs.
Bill, Bob, Timmy and I stayed on the first floor. We saw two rooms and there were two beds in each room. Timmy and I took the room on the left and the twin brothers took the room on the right.
