Today I had every intention of a lazy evening. I was cleaning up after dinner when Maizie came into the kitchen all serious. She said, "Mom. Darwin just told me that he really needs some exercise. He wants to go exercise at the dog park. I need exercise too." How could I refuse after she so wonderfully articulated what Darwin told her. When we first arrived Maizie took some one on one time with Tucker, the beagle seen above.
I called up our friends Sean and Carol and they headed over with their Greyhounds Gail and Zephyr. Maizie loves walking Gail across the field as Zephyr follows. Once at the other end she tells them to run and they take off across the field at lightning speed. It is impressive.
I was unable to capture a good running shot since I did not have my good camera with me. Soon I will get some action shots of these two speed demons.
Maizie loves filling the water bowls for the dogs. Today there were three adorable Golden Doodles at the park. One in particular took a fancy to Maizie and followed her around and loved drinking from the bowl as Maizie held it.
One of the Golden Doodles enjoyed putting her ball in the water bowl. Don't you know the soggier the ball the better!
Here are a couple beautiful shots of Gail. She has the sweetest eyes. Gail has lots of energy and keeps Sean and Carol on their toes. She is growing up to be a real gentle and loving lady.
When it was time for Libby to go home she walked real slow out into the middle of the field. Her owner put Tucker in the car and came back for her. Libby looked at her owner across the field without a care in the world. Her poor owner had to carry her out of the park. She must weigh quite a bit. Sometimes the pups are having such a good time that they don't want to go home.
I love this picture of Bhutan, the boxer. He was a lovable pup, giving Carol a huge wet kiss. She was not prepared for that. Once home Darwin ate and then curled up on the chair for a little rest. Maizie covered him up with a blanket and asked me to take a picture of him. She said, "I love you buddy. You are such a good little buddy." Too cute! Darwin has it real rough as you can see.
