Bonus

Yesterday my person had no car to take me to the dog park. I could have easily walked to the park, at the park and home from the park. My person, in part because of only having 2 legs, refuses to even try what would probably be around a 10 miles excursion. Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.

So, my Bonus Person joined us today and that is always a good thing. On the way into the park we saw Pearl, Tango, A chocolate Lab I do not know, Clementine, Flannel and Luna. Sorry all of those dogs were leaving because I could use me a Pearl date. A little hair of the dog that bit you sort of thing. Not that Pearl actually bit me but ....well, never mind I am just going on and on like my person does. blah, blah, blah. Sometimes, you can pick up bad people habits. Be very, very careful of that. Those habits are hard to break.

So, off we went with my Person, Bonus Person, Ziggy and her Person.

Can someone please tell me who stole all the corn? It was there 2 days ago. I miss one day and the entire crop has vanished. This park has mystical powers I swear!

(missing corn?)

So, all was well and than Ziggy found a ball. I did not mind that she kept it the whole time. We saw Cody and he is just so beauttiful that the Merlin who lerks just below the surface reared his ugly head. I took Ziggy's ball and would not give it back. Ziggy got a little too close to me and my Bonus Person and I snapped out a large loud, No WAY!!! Cody tried to play with me but I had an attitude now. My person took the ball and put an end to the whole thing.

We walked out peacefully but I got an attitude again when I went on lead first, knowing my person was concealing the ball, Ziggy came to try and get into the mix and I was mad. Ziggy and her person left. My person gave me the ball and I dropped it and got in my car. The ball was not the point. The point is that sometimes I want the ball and don't want anyone to get near my Bonus Person. Is that too much for a dog to ask for? Well, maybe it is.
