Darwin creeps through the kitchen, head down...trying to look innocent.
The evidence 'spills forth'. How much he managed to consume we will never really know.
Darwin says, "Animals manifestly enjoy excitement, and suffer from annul and may exhibit curiosity. That is a quote of the late Charles Robert Darwin."
We are back at the Dog Park! The mud has dried up enough to where I am not too afraid to go. Granted, Darwin always seems to find a small mud puddle to lay in. Stella and Darwin followed Maizie around while she looked for clues in the holes left behind by various dogs. She also found a worm that she called a "snake". You can read more about her great find on the Dazlious blog.
Max in the photo above is pretty old. He walks around a bit and then sits and watches the other dogs play.
Cody is one of Maizie's favorites. A soft yellow lab that is lazy and enjoys following Maizie around since she showers him with attention.
Cody is quite relaxed here as you can tell.
After almost two hours of running Darwin and Stella finally sit down for a break. Stella never sits long. I swear that dog never gets tired.
Miss Sadie is known as a gentle giant. Her owners adopted her from the pound on the very day she was scheduled to be put down. Sadie is a constant and compassionate companion to Hannah. You can read more about Sadie at A Life of Triggers. Sadie's buddy has been diagnosed with Mesenteric Adenitis. Hannah should recover but right now she is in a lot of pain and feeling pretty down. Please send your prayers that Hannah will be feeling better soon. If you have time stop by A Life of Triggers and wish Hannah well.
Darwin and Stella were all smiles to finally be going to the dog park.
It was so cold out that we were pretty sure all the muddy puddles would be frozen.
Ned stopped by and Darwin was thrilled! They are good buddies.
I love this picture of Ned. He has the most beautiful golden eyes.
Even though we brought water the dogs insisted on eating snow. Lots of it.
Darwin enjoyed his usual lazy lounging in the snow.
Stella had a great time chasing after Lucy, a beautiful shepherd mix. Maizie loves Lucy! Lucy loves playing ball but once you get her started she won't play anything else. So, for a while she was being encouraged to play with her puppy buddies. Do you see little Louie way in the back? What a cutie. Louie is a West Highland White Terrier.
Niblet, the lil' Rat Terrier was a tad shy. Stella was thrilled to be with a dog smaller than her.
Stella outgrew her first collar so we bought her this cute one at Target. You can tell she thinks she is cool.
Louie and Lucy found the deserted red ball to play with. Once Lucy found this she was hooked.
Niblet likes to play shy while Stella wonders what she is doing.
Ring around the rosie time!
Go Louie!
Right after this shot was taken Louie took a little piddle on the big red ball. I guess Louie wanted everyone to know who the ball belonged to. Lucy could have cared less and just kept on playing with the ball.
Go Louie! After our trip to the dog park today Darwin and Stella crashed for a long nap! Mission accomplished!
