Pizza at the Park

Today was a beautiful day. A perfect breeze, no mosquitoes and not too hot. A perfect day to hang out at the dog park. We had planned to go for a while and then get lunch afterwards. Maizie was so enthralled in playing with the dogs that she did not want to leave. Finally, we picked up Pizza King and enjoyed a picnic lunch. Kodi was playing with Sophie above. I hope I get all of the dogs names right. There were so many coming and going and I did not have a pen to write down names. Forgive me if I mess up a name.

Here is Kodi, a gorgeous yellow lab. When I was taking pictures she would come out and sit on my feet and lean against me. So sweet.

Maizie went out to visit with Sophie's owner. I caught this picture of him kissing Sophie. Maybe this is one reason I love the dog park. Everyone seems so full of love and happy watching their dogs. I think I soak up this energy and love every minute of it.
Libby the pit bull was full of good loving today. I caught this picture of her running through the air. She is so beautiful. We had a few discussions today about the bad rap pit bulls have. After knowing Libby I have a new found love for this breed. I am saddened by the abuse and sad situations they are often bred for. Libby is proof that pit bulls can be loving and adorable dogs if they are treated with the love and respect that all dogs deserve.
Every now and then Kodi would run over to the water bowl and splash around in it. I love it when the dogs play in the water. Sean came out with the greyhounds today. Zephyr and Gail sure do love to run.

Here we are on the other side of the dog park enjoying our lunch. It drove the dogs a bit crazy smelling all the yummy pizza. Our tummy's were all satisfied and before we knew it we were back playing with the dogs.Here is a beautiful shot of Ginger. Maizie was so happy to see Ginger and Michelle. Check out Ginger's My Space page on the side bar. If anyone wants their pup's my space page or picture put on the side bar write a comment or e-mail me and I will post it for you.Here is little Roxy. Roxy loved Joe and kept giving him licker kisses. Most of the tiny dogs seem to gravitate to Joe. It is kinda weird. Okay, maybe all dogs gravitate towards Joe since every now and then Nikki seen below would leap up on Joe and cover him with wet, sloppy kisses.

At one point today a military officer stopped by after noticing Darwin playing. He said he had trained a dog that looked just like him. Darwin apparently brought back some good memories for him. He stared at Darwin in amazement. Darwin is so cool.
Maizie loves kissing Kodi. She is such a squeezable dog. I love that thick yellow lab skin. You just can't help but hug labs a lot.Above all the dogs are running around. They love to chase and run whenever a new dog comes to the park. Then, they slow down and rest for a while. I love Darwin's expression in this shot.

Maizie loved playing with this little dalmatian. I swear they look like they have the same expressions on their faces. Look at the dalmatians ears blowing in the wind. Adorable.

Gia, Sebastian, Motley and Little Shadow

Here is little Shadow. He is a Shiba Inu. Shadow reminded me of a little fox. His fur is so soft and velvety. Darwin is seen below playing with Motley. Motley and Darwin love chasing one another. Motley is part black lab and part chow. Notice the black spots on Motley's tongue. He is currently in doggie obedience classes. I am sure he is a class star.

Here is Motley playing catch with Maizie.

Darwin and Motley love drinking out of the water bowl at the same time. It is almost like a game to see who can get the most water.
The dog above has a collar with different beer bottle caps on it. I think Joe would like one of those for Darwin. Apparently a local artist makes them.
Maizie loved this dalmatian Gia. I absolutely love Gia's collar. I have to find one of those for Darwin.

Sebastian is a Blanket Back German Shepherd. I love this dog. Maizie had a blast walking with the ball as Sebastian followed closely, never taking his eyes off the ball. Eventually Maizie would throw the ball...Sebastian ran to get it and then would promptly run past Maizie and drop the ball into the water bowl. Maizie thought this was hysterical. The two of them played together until Sebastian's owner had to take him home. Once Sebastian left Maizie went over and sat on the bench with Ginger and her owner Michelle. Maizie loves playing catch with Ginger and getting her daily ginger kisses in.Even with Joe's tiny camera I managed to get a pretty good shot of the dogs chasing one another. They ran around like this for a while. It was awesome to watch.

Potato had his mind set on wrestling this cute bull dog. I love Potato's energy and playful ways. He is so special.
