Labor Day

Hip, Hip Hooray for Labor Day. I have no idea what Labor Day is but I know that today at the park was so fabulous I laid down in the way back of the car on the way home because I had had a doggie run that was just a dream come true.

First I saw Manny and he is always fun to be around. I think I mentioned before that he is Bosco's brother (from the same litter bro) and he has the same sort of fun loving attitude as my dawg Bosco. So, I knew right away that it would be a good walk. We passed a few other dogs here and there and ran a little bit in the top fields. Mostly we just munched on nature's salad bar and took in the beautiful morning. At the bottom of the hill we ran into my girl Pearl. Pearl and Manny and I did the dodge and weave dance all the way to the beach. Pearl also loves the hip hug dance and Manny and I enjoyed that with her for awhile.

At the beach something very important happen today. There was the for mentioned dogs and a Black Lab named Brody. I know him and he is a good guy. Pierre, Benji and Trixie arrived. Fergus showed up and Watson and Willie came tearing into the mix too. there were balls being thrown left and right and I was getting a little frustrated because those retrievers really can take off fast and get to those balls. I try to heard them into place so that everyone gets a fair start to chase the flying object overhead. That never works so I usually bark a little and run about half way and just stop. One time today something different happened. One time! Just once. The ball got thrown in the air and all those retrievers thought it went one way but I saw it go the other way. I Merlin the hearder chased that ball all the way to the other side and I GOT IT! I brought it back and ran straight to me person. All the peeps clapped and the retrievers smiled. I put the ball down and it rolled between my legs and Manny got it but I do not care because one time Merlin got it. I am now Merlin the honorary retriever. I am so proud of myself. Go Merlin!

We stayed there at the beach a long time and had a ton of doggie fun. As we left we ran into a little puppy Vizsla named Finny. That is her in the picture with Pearl. We saw the might Sampson the Great Dane on the way out. I did not get a picture of him but trust me when I say, I felt like a little dog. That is good because you should always walk a mile in another dogs paws.
