vacations

Today we got to the park early but not too early. We walked up the first small hill toward the board with the Disc Golf info on it. We went down that path till the fork in the path. We took the left hand side. We walked all the way through the woods until we got to the first big field. We walked through the first big field and than the field with the corn growing. We went down the really big hill and finally saw the first dog. It was Wally the Golden that is always with his person the jogger. He stopped to say hello. I did not even know his name was Wally until today because he is always jogging but smiles and says Hi. Anyway. We continued all the way by the river and to the beach. I laid down for a few minutes but than we left. We saw Brody the Black Lab on the way out. We went up the hill toward the bench and on that next path saw 2 little dogs named Jude and Bijue. So, that is almost the entire walk and I saw 4 dogs. Where is everyone? I was so lonely. I don't know any of those dogs very well at all so I had no playmates at all. The other thing I noticed is even stranger. We heard very few if any birds. The birds usually sing to us through the whole walk and we only heard a couple of Woodpeckers while in the big fields. Do birds go on vacation too? Do they follow the people? I am more than a little confused.

On the last path to the parking lot I saw that little Addie the Beagle mix. I wish I saw her earlier because she is a fun girl.

Right before the parking lot I saw the stately Nanook. His person is so nice to him. did I ever tell you she walks him at the park even though his people are neighbors of hers. Now that just goes to show that there are peeps who are good right down to their souls. Nanook is a good fellow and I am glad he is my friend and that that nice person brings him to where every dog has a right to be!
