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.
Zeus, the chocolate lab came in and took a real liking to Stella. First he said hello to Darwin and then went over to see Stella and get her precious stick.
Stella did not see Zeus going after her stick until.....
