All Alone: Almost

So, we left early but not too early. When we got to the park there were a few cars but no dogs in sight. My person made me do my "good boy" calisthenics. BORING!
Anyway, we headed off down Chipmunk Ally. (for those of you with short memories, or new to the blog; Chipmunk Ally is the path on the right when you walk into the park. It is the only path that initially heads down hill) OK, so Mimi and I ran in the frozen grass and everything was great. We went down toward the beach and up the really big hill. Through the first field we went and turned into the second field. Suddenly, it hit me. We had not seen any other dogs. Not one! It felt sort of cool. Me and Mimi all alone in the park. You sniffin' me?
So walking through the fields there are woods on the left. Usually, I don't go into those woods because there is a fence. It has holes but you have to be as cleaver as me to figure it out. Not all dogs have that. So, I saw a squirrel, chipmunk rabbit, well, something dashing in the woods close to the ground. So, I took the chance and ran through the hole in the fence and chased the , uh well, whatever it was. Of course Mimi ran after me because she is very competitive that way.
After I abandoned the chase I headed back the way I came and ran to my Person. I got a mini marshmallow and we started on out way. Soon we both realized Mimi could not find her way back to the hole in the fence. My work is never done! I ran back to the hole, found Mimi and lead her out. She will tell you that she could have done it on her own. Don't believe her.
Off we went and probably around 10,000 paws till the parking lot (let the peeps figure out how far that is in feet) we saw Gibson and Elliot! My person stopped to say hey to their person. I gave a big "what up dawg?" to the boys and we hung out. The peeps talked about somebody named "Patriots". I can never figure out who or what that is all about. Anyway, apparently, the Patriots had a really bad week last week and they are both hoping that this week is better.
Peeps? Can't figure them out!
So, once in the parking lot someone pulled up and I had to sit and lay down while they got their dog out and went on their way. blah, blah, blah.
Until tomorrow,
