An afternoon at the park

There's a very real feeling of satisfaction out of knowing that this is the happiest a dog can get, and that we made him that way. (See photo.) You can't come up with a better way to spend an afternoon than taking the dog to the dog park, and watching him run around like a crazy animal until he's so winded and exhausted that he looks like this. The dog park is such a wonderful treat for our little Ollie, and it's so easy to give him. We really should do it more often. Of course, now that the weather is getting decent again, we will.

As for Daisy, we left her home. She's still too young to be out and about in the dog park, and is certainly too out of control. Could you imagine that little firecracker running around that park without a leash? Yikes! It's hard enough just keeping eyes on Ollie and Sydney (she's but another firecracker that runs around without a leash). We'll need to enlist someone else to go with us when Daisy's ready for the public park.
