Dog Park Tricks

Shadow is a Shiba Inu. Darwin had a great time chasing him around the dog park today. When it was time to leave Shadow ran way out to the other side of the park and took a rest in the shade. He just did not want to go home. I can't blame him since it was such a beautiful day out today.

Here is our Australian Cattle Dog or Blue Heeler, Stella. She loves the pool at the dog park. We have not seen her lay down in it yet. Her favorite thing to do is run through it and hop out the other side. Ned enjoyed laying down in the pool every now and then. He really knows how to enjoy himself.

Maizie ran out to the car to get the chuck it stick to throw for the dogs. The dogs like to greet everyone as they come and go from the dog park, especially Maizie.

Joe took some time to fill up the water bowls for the pups. Stella liked to jump up at the water. Too cute. Maizie tried out all the tricks Harley likes. For a large lab he can jump amazingly high.

Maizie tried to teach Darwin the jumping trick. He was a little slow to get it.

Next Harley showed off how he can roll over. Darwin and Stella looked on in awe. We hope to see everyone at the dog park soon. The rain and the mud have been a problem. Luckily the dogs stayed out of the swampy area today.

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.
