At The Dog Park

There are lots of rude dogs at the dog park. Lucky for me, they mostly run around in the middle of the dog park and leave dogs on the path around the edge of the dog park that is for dogs who want to run or walk with their people off leash alone. When a rude dog comes up to me, Juli walks between me and the dog and that dog usually leaves me alone (this is something called blocking and we dogs do it too. Also, I know Juli will protect me from rude dogs, although sometimes I have to growl at them too. We leave if the dogs are too rude (or don't even go in when they are too hyper.) I like walking off leash and sniffing at my own pace though. There is a place kinda near by which is just for hiking (and not playing) that allows dogs off leash too. We went there earlier in the week and I like that too.

Toys!

Yesterday I learned that the dog toys laying around are for me to play with! They'd been offered to me, but some of them smelled like other dogs and I just wasn't sure if it would be okay. It is!

I like chasing after toys that people throw and I like chewing on them and I like playing tug. Oh, and I like toys that make noises!

My current favourite toy is the dragon. If you click on the picture, you can get your own at amazon.com and I might get a little bit of money to buy more toys.

Yes, I AM made of spun sugar (sometimes.)

I got very upset and anxiety peed this morning because I thought Juli was going to put me outside alone in the rain. She put me on the long line first thing with the door open while she went to the bathroom and I was so worried! But then it turns out she was going to go out with me so that was ok.

We even went to the park in the rain (and hail) later and that was OK too.

I like getting dried off with a towel when I come inside, but Juli has this thing called a hair dryer and I'm not getting anywhere near it!
