Peeps

So, my person said last night that she was taking today off. I heard her say, "I am not even going to the dog park." I still was not surprised when she and I were getting in the car and headed toward the park. She loves going as much as I do. This leads me to the subject of peeps all together. We started walking today and ran into a dog I had never met before named Bobby. His person and my person started having the usual conversation... "how old? what breed? where did you get him/her?" So, this person says they got Bobby "off the street", they know he is young and they don't know the breed. That is usually followed by breed guessing etc. It is really dog park small talk. It got me to thinking about how lucky us dogs are that go to the park. I mean nearly every day the same people bring their dogs at the same time from sun up to sun down. That is a lot of peeps and a lot of dogs who have created this super community. WOW! So, than I thought who are the peeps that leave these fabulous canines? Was it a mistake or did they do it on purpose? Do they feel bad about it? My own sister Mimi and all 3 of our feline family members have been rescued from shelters. As I grow older I realize that not all peeps are the kind loving peeps that I am surrounded by at home and in the park. I am grateful and sad for those with bleak futures.
Well, enough of that! I saw Lola who is the most submissive Black Lab I have ever met. She sure is beautiful though. Fergus approached us as we hung out. I am so glad his mystery illness has disappeared. That was weird. We saw the famous Pierre and Benji along with Big Scout on the hill. We are going to meet Trixie in the morning! I just can not wait. In the top fields we saw Tango the Aussie who chased me like crazy while the peeps talked. That little girl really scares me! It makes me look like a coward but I can't take it! We saw Niles and Caber with the It's Pawsible crew. At the end of the walk we saw the fabulous Newfies! I love those big dogs! Well, actually, we saw Vulcan and Merlin. Kika was laying down somewhere down the path catching her breath.
Remember today that our peeps, while annoying sometimes, really have given us a cushy life. I will definitely give my peeps an extra snuggle today.
