Rex

So, we left very early this morning and I was afraid we would see no one. I was so wrong to worry. That person of mine does know what she is doing once in awhile. First we met a spunky little boy named Fezzik. He was half Shitzu and half Lhapso Apso. He let me know right away that big dogs did not intimidate him one little bit. We walked as far as the dog beach with him and his person. Along came Dexter and Fred. They were walking with someone I did not know. He is a Rhodesian Ridgeback, without the ridge named Rex. He is one year old and I immediately knew we were going to be friends. I went over to where his person was throwing the ball for him. We both made a couple attempts to chase after the ball but really we were waiting to see if anyone would run and if anyone would chase. That question was quickly answered and we were running down by the water and up through the fields over and over again. He is one year old and sleeker than I am so he got a pretty good jump on me. This kept up for some time. You can see in the pictures what fun we were having. As it turns out his family lives one town over so they do not come every day like we do. That is a bummer!

We were leaving and he started chasing me again. Our paws sort of got tangled up and we went rolling into a big ball of dog together. I got a little pinched on the bottom and yelped really loud. He jumped off of me right a way which proves he is a dog of good caliber.

We saw old buddy on the way out. He has a summer hair doo and is looking young and spunky. Toward the end of the walk Rex jumped on me and I was just so tired. I gave him a couple of hip checks but he kept coming at me. His person put him on lead so that I could have a little break. When did I become the old dog? I bet if I saw him on a cooler day I cold run circles around that boy. No matter what it is aways nice to make a new friend. I hope I get to see him again soon. I have not seen Bosco, Biscuit or any of my rock em sock em pals in a few day. Hey, get your peep to get in touch with my peeps and we can hang out. Don't be afraid of the fireworks over the next 2 weekends. They are just silly people trying to make loud noises to celebrate our freedom to run free and poop in the woods! Merlin
