WE ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, so my person is back on her 2 feet and although I still do not see the logic in 2 feet I am glad she is better. 1)I get to go to the park again and 2) I was so busy warming her feet I did not get anything else done. 3) I am just glad she is back to rubbing my ears and saying "Good boy, Merlin." I really missed that.

(Rio)

We ran into Rio on our way down Chipmunk Ally. I really like this guy. He did a gorgeous doggie pirouette when I saw him. It is funny how he and I say hello. He did this great dance, I growled but than I got an itch so I stopped to take care of that and I lost all credibility from the growl. It seemed to throw our chemistry off and we never really got good playing under way. Maybe next time Rio.

Anyway, off we went and while I did not see any super great chipmunk/squirrel action, there were some ducks talking a ton. I could here them down the river where we only walk sometimes. They were all talking at the same time and I do not speak fowl but I think they were discussing upcoming plans for the winter. They are not around during the Winter months but I love when I see them in the Spring knowing that the warmth is on it's way back.

Off to the river where I took a full dip and the water came all the way up my sides but did not go over my back.

We saw 2 Pug puppies that were interested in getting into someones breakfast that had been regurgitated. Sometimes sharing is not a good thing. Off we went up the hill and my person took off into the woods. That can only mean one thing. She had to pee. She has not peed in the woods in a really long time. Again, why she does not leave it where other peeps can get the pee-mail I will never know. As we were leaving the woods we saw Pearl (Yellow Lab) and Lola (Black Lab) and the running through the big corn fields began. Lola eats the corn totally and completely so her person was trying to convince her that that is not a good plan. We turned around and went back the way we came and the excitement on the hill was almost more than a dog could imagine. Watson, (Malamute mix) Willie, (Husky mix) 'Lil Scout (Border Collie mix) the above mentioned Lola and Pearl and me! Wow! Up the hill, down the hill running, barking spinning, whirling, barking snapping! I am exhausted just remembering how much fun it was. Watson and Pearl seem to be unable to communicate about something. I am confident they will work this out. They are both such great dogs to be around and their peeps seem cool too.

So, back down to the river and up the hill where the bench is with Pearl and Lola. I was so glad my person had the wisdom to turn around because those Lab girls and I do love to hang together. It was an exciting return to the park and for that I am pleased.
