We left for Door county at around 10 in the morning. Suki started the trip on a positive note, as she usually does (In fact, she even had her breakfast!). After her morning walk, she hopped into the car with much enthusiasm. Friday started out being cold and sunny. The weather turned really cold (for July) later on in the day(~15 C). To make matters worse, it was quite windy also. Suki, of course, thought it was a tad warm that day, and was panting inside the car.
We'd reserved a camp site close to Bailey's Harbor, which is located by the joint of the thumb that is Door county. Suki behaved very well throughout the journey. She sat in the back, occupying almost the entire back seat. She got out of the car and walked in a couple of rest stops (duniawalon, read: toilets) where they had pet areas (duniawalon, ek baar phir, read: a veritable minefield of dog you-know-what). Suki, of course, was most interested in the heavily mined areas. Yuk!
We reached our camp ground at around 5 pm. We unpacked and started pitching our tent. Suki was a little interested in the place but seemed a little apprehensive at the same time. After putting the tent up, we left for Sturgeon Bay to buy some lighter fluid and wood. By the time we returned, the sun had almost set.
As soon as Suki got out of the car, she heard some crackers go off elsewhere in the camp ground. That pretty much ended Suki's camping joy. She started her shaking-pacing-freezing routine and was soon quite distressed. Eventually she went inside the car and stayed there all night, quite scared to even look up.
