A Day at the Dog Park

Kanga, Chenzi, Scout, and Willie

Most afternoons Chucks takes our two dogs, Scout and Willie, out to the dog park to run and play with the other dogs.

It is usually my quiet time.

Yesterday I decided to meet them there since the afternoon was sunny with a cooling breeze.  I just wanted to watch the puppies play.

Scout and Willie met two new friends - Kanga, a recent amputee, and Chenzi, her new little sister.  All four became instant friends.

Our shaggy little Scout - boy, does he need grooming!

He is a thinker - he sits and plots his next move.

 Scout has short legs and is often left behind by the faster dogs in their running games.  So he has devised a plan to wait in the middle of the park and join them when they run past.

Pretty clever!

 Chenzi, a cute brindle terrier mix, was a new pet for the young couple who own Kanga.  This was her first time meeting Scout and Willie.  She proved to be as fast as Willie.

Here is a blurred picture of Willie's foot and Chenzi's head as they raced by me.

 Chucks on duty at the water fountain.  Kanga and Chenzi wait patiently for him to turn on the water.

A great wrestling match among Willie, Chenzi, and Scout.  This is where Scout excels.

 A sandbox conversation.

Chenzi (right):  I'm tired.  How about you, Scout?

Scout (left):  Yeah, I'm tired.

Scout:  Let's just sit here a minute.

Chenzi:  Yeah, let's just sit here.

Willie, having a little hound mixed in him, has to sniff every inch of the park.  Chucks and I believe he can recognize every dog who has visited the park.









Chucks, Willie, Scout, and I had a great afternoon hanging out at the park.  There was no rust, no paint,and no distressing.  Just dogs at play.  

Of course, there were two mad cats waiting at home.  I forgot to leave their supper in the bowls!

See y'all!
