So Beautiful

When we got to the parking lot of the dog park today there were 2 other people mobiles in the parking lot. As we began walking I realized something. We were making the first dog tracks in the new blanket of snow. There were some tracks from those things that some people put on their feet and slide with. You know what I mean, they carry 2 poles and put those long things on their feet. My Person carries one of those poles all of the time. Again calling into question why they don't just walk on all 4s.(First ones on this path at The Park!)

OK, back to me, Merlin. So Mimi and I being first dog trackers in the snow this morning is sort of a big deal. It is really hard to get a dogopoly or be first of last at anything at the park. The competition in numbers alone makes it ruff!

So, Mimi and I ran our paws off this morning. It is so beautiful at the park this time of year. The sun was out, new snow everywhere and some birds still hanging around singing us into the woods. There was a woodpecker telling some tree a story that echoed through the entire park. Those woodpeckers are loud anyway but in the winter I think I can hear them when I am home.

Anyway, Mimi and I ran in the beautiful snow and had such fun together. Let me say straight away that Mimi can not catch me anymore. I know her knee is better and I know that I can run wicked fast and I am the winner!

Toward the end of the walk we saw Abby(Black Lab) and Harper (Yellow Lab). I played with Abby for awhile. I like her because she is as tall as me and when we are trying to say hello sometimes we bump heads. Ouch! It is worth it for a BOL.

(Mimi is so cute)

Harper took off and his person kept right on going. I guess he does this a lot so his person is comfortable with it. My Person would throw a fell blown human fit and I would not get any cheese treat for sure. I think I will just stick by her. We passed Henry and Ricky (Tad's posse) and off the the parking lot we went. Guess who was there? Harper. He was waiting right by their people mobile. Way Dog Cool! I could do that! I know I could find my way alone. I also know I would not get any treats. The risk just does not outweigh the reward!~
