old friends

This picture is of my old buddy Lila, I have not seen her in a long while. She is a great Labradoodle with a super hop in her step. Again today I was sort of mellow but still delighted to be at the park.
Yesterday was a beautiful day and I did not get out at all. The only forgiveness I have in my heart is that it was because my peeps were all out with Our Girl. I guess there was something going on at her school again and everyone had to go. They were all really happy and excited acting but it meant that I got diddly. I am not sure if it was a sort of punishment for me rolling in dead things the day before. As much as I complained about the bath I got, after I got dried out I had a really good brushing. Well, my tail is at an all time high. It is puffy and bold and beautiful. I hate all that I have to go through to be at my best but it is worth it in the end.
So, first we saw Pearl on the way in. She is such a beautiful Yellow Lab. I think she and I are growing our dogship into a life long relationship. Anyway, we met a really cool looking Australian Shepard named Ellie. She was brown and white colored. I am used to the tri colored or sort of speckled colored Aussies. I immediately liked Ella and my person and her person seemed to be very friendly to each other. You know in that people way that does not involve butt sniffing. Go figure. Off to the beach and there we found a ton of dogs. Lets see, Liken, Ziggy, Molly, Mia, Bella and more that I did not know. We stayed awhile and I chased a ball for awhile but did not have any super good runs. Off we went and we saw Baily and a few others. There was a person waving at us but my person did not respond. Suddenly, she realized that it was Lila's person who is one of my person's original canine cronies. They did do that excited voice, arm wrapped around each other thing. So, Molly, Mia and Lila walked ahead of us a little and Mia and Molly's person threw the ball over and over for them. I played a little bit but was having a low key day.
We saw the Newfies and Turbo and Molly the Puggle at the end of the walk. All in all it was a beautiful day with old buddies. I am sleeping on all fours so I am going to call it a day.
