socializing is everything

Today at the park felt like summer is really here. We saw lots of peeps and pups. My person was totally connecting with some good ole canine cronies friends of hers. First we saw Lucy and Charles. It has been a really long time. I guess their person was sick and than Lucy got a really big , well, zit. It was gross and painful and has kept them out of the park. Speaking of things that make you go to the Vet... Mimi has a visitor coming to see her at 1pm tomorrow! That's right , the Vet!
So, off we went and down at the river were lots of folks. Most noticeably was the littlest of all. He is a 6 month old poodle named Sebastian. He was so nervous around other dogs. His person said that this is his first real experiences socializing with others. Well, the park is all about socializing! Welcome little man! Come hang out with the big guys! Oh, I must back up a little.Yesterday Pierre and Benji's person found one of the discs for the Disc Golf game. My person called the phone # and told the guy that it would be left at the information board in the parking lot. Well, the Disc Golf guy called last nigh to say thank you. As it turns out the disc was gone when he got there. I hope someone took it to return it to him! But, do you know what he said? He said "One good deed far outweighs one bad. So, even if I don't get it back I wanted to thank you for trying to get it tome." What a guy huh? People can be wonderful!
So, off we went and we walked with Sebastian. We ran into Ridge and than later after the hill we saw Bella. Right after that we saw Turbo who was pinning for Mimi. His baby sister Molly the Puggle and Sebastian played a little. They are close in size and it seemed to work out. Soon we saw Skye who is a Border Collie. I really wanted to box with her but she is still not sure if she wants to box Merlin the great and powerful!. The rest of the walk was just sweet. I ran off from time to time to catch a chipmunk or 2. They are fast little buggers. Do not forget that I did once get a squirrel so a chipmunk would be just another conquest in my world. Have a great summer day today and don't forget to drink lots of water and sleep in the shade. It is a dogs life and I am glad to be one!
