Old Friends Day

Right after we started walking today we ran into Trixie(ChoWOWa), Benji and Pierre (French Bull Dogs). They are a great little family and I have not walked with them in awhile. Little Trixie is still a little bit of a thing. On the other hand she is is now close to full grown and looks so different from when she was a little tiny puppy. Actually, I am sort of glad she is a little bigger because I was afraid in that in the midst of my fabulous dancing I would hurt her by accident. Now that she is bigger she is a more viable playmate.

Soon we saw Sally who is an old friend and we ran around a little bit but she was going the other way so it was too brief a visit. (Sally)
In the big field I was happy to see my 'ole pal Ziggy. She has been putting notes on the blog but seeing her in person is always better. So, through the big fields we walked, 3 peeps and 5 dogs. I like those odds! After going down the big hills we saw my girl Pearl. We had our usual energized greeting. I am never sure that my person realizes how honored she should be. I always run right up to her and try to involve her in the greeting dance. My person does not seem to be as interested in participating as I would like her to be. I bang into her legs and try to get her to get in the mix. She resists this invitation and all the other peeps seem to get very nervous and call us to go play in the field. I am a little insulted. I do not invite everyone to play. I might just stop offering.

Anyway, we went to the beach and hung out for while, I got wet and muddy which makes me very happy. We left and walked out with Ziggy. She and I hung out and talked dog talk. We saw Turbo and Molly (Puggle) right as we left. She is all grown up too. Jeeze, I wish we could all stay puppies forever!
