Millie Bush Dog Park

The dog park parking lot was nearly full by the time we got there. We went around 5 pm which was really a perfect time as far as the weather and heat are concerned. As normal, all kinds of dogs were there. I didn't see any Great Danes but saw some dogs that were bigger in body and probably the same height. One was a Bull Mastiff.

He came out of the pool's water in slow motion. I could hear the theme song to Chariots of Fire. Water pouring off him in streams. I stood amazed as this huge dog came out of the water. I couldn't move, could only stare. Out of the pool now, he dropped the ball. His body began to shake the water off. Everyone that was close to him, well, let's say they had to go home and shower the doggie smell off of them.

It took Buddy awhile to get into the water. He was barking at some person to throw the ball into the pool of water and he would go in but not get the ball. Finally he do go in and that was all he wanted to do.

Kobe, on the other hand, being his first time at a dog park, was so excited he could not make up his mind what he wanted to do first. Thoughts ranged in his head...Do I run here with this dog or run there with that dog?...What's this water thing about?....Can I pee here..oops. Sorry, I didn't make it to the grass...What's this smell... Oh, it's poo. Who's poo is it?

I think it was one of the best days of his life. Just wasn't thrilled with the cold water bath afterwards.

2 ducks - Aflac and Bflac

Went by the park on Mother's Day to see if the animals had come back after the April flooding we had experienced. Just three ducks had settled back in as the street into the park and the park itself was still knee high or deeper. The two in the picture were right friendly and came by to see if we had any food for them. I named the first one after the Aflac tv duck and Bflac cause I couldn't think of anything else. I have more pictures to share with the readers of my blog as this week progresses. There is a third duck, so I naturally named him Cflac but he is quite shy. Aflac was the one who would get up close and personal with you although he would not let you reach out to pet him. Still I got some real good close ups.
