Chasing the Red Ball and a Bucket Battle

Stella Wears a Dress

How cute does Stella look in this white lace dress? Very! Maizie and I were shopping at Target when we found this doggie dress clearanced for three bucks! I know it will only fit her for a couple more days and she totally hated wearing, but I just had to get a picture of her in it. It took me about thirty times of telling her to sit and stay to get this one decent shot. I will probably dress her up in it again tomorrow because I really want one where you can see the back of the dress. I can hear her whining with disgust all ready.

Nelson and Stella the Australian Cattle Dogs

Wow! Don't be fooled. This is not Stella all grown up. This is Nelson the other Australian Cattle Dog that visits the dog park. I love watching Stella and Nelson run around together. Check out how both dogs have the white spot on their heads. A cattle dog marking.

I tried to get a picture of them side by side so we can really compare the two. No such luck. They are both pretty impossible to make sit still.

Nelson and Ginger enjoyed wrestling a bit. Check out Ginger's cute new collar. She looks so pretty.

Here is Harley sitting down for a break. He was also really into the squeak toy behind him. All the dogs wanted it.

Maizie had not seen Ginger for a while. I winced at the licker kiss. Maizie did not seem to mind.

Darwin and Nelson are getting to be pals. I wonder if Darwin realizes Stella may be as big as Nelson one day?

Bhutan is enjoying a stick he found. Harley came along and snatched it right from him. Look at Bhutan's shocked expression below.

Tonight there were lots of dogs at the park. There were even more mosquitoes! In between taking pictures I was swatting at those pesky bugs. Our trip had to be cut short. I felt like running to the car to escape being bitten. The dogs don't seem bothered at all.

Chase! Run! Pant!

What a beautiful day! The sun came out along with a nice cool breeze. No mosquitoes! We just had to take off for the dog park! Pongo chased Stella around the park. Stella can't wait till she is bigger and faster! Watch out Pongo!

Darwin was sticking up for his lil' girl Stella and took after Pongo. There was lots of chasing going on today.

Opus wore his t-shirt just in case the bugs were bad. You can tell Opus thinks he looks hot. Too cute!

Stella loved running in the breeze. She is so cute.

Kobie was looking regal like always. It was not long before he was wrestling with Opus.

Here is a picture from our last visit. Stella was playing with this destroyed frisbee.

Darwin was chasing this German Shepherd puppy when he jumped into the pool. Smart dog! Darwin can't stand the water.

This is Blue. No doubt named for that piercing blue eye.

If you have some extra 'poo bags' please bring them to the dog park and put them in the green bin. The park is totally out! We gotta work together to keep the park clean! See you next time.
