Lots of dogs at the dog park

Lady and I had an interesting day at the dog park today. We went around 10:30, and at one point there were 13 people there, including me. There were a similar number of dogs there.

 That was WAY more dogs than I've seen on a morning during the school year. A middle-school teacher was there — so was one of her students — so maybe school was out today.

 We saw a few dogs I recognized, including Willow and a boxer I know but can't remember his name (owned by the middle-school teacher; we remember each other from last summer; maybe he's Mr. T). There were two big, black dogs there, one long-haired, the other a black lab mix. Both were friendly with Lady, and neither tried to play with her.

 A brown dog almost stalked Lady for a bit, but his owner got his attention and got him away.

 I wasn't cold or hot — I was wearing a light sweatshirt — and I didn't get run into. So, for me, it was a quiet day.

 When we left, there were still six cars in the lot at the dog park.

Good and bad at the dog park

LADY AT THE DOG PARK

Lady had good and bad today at the dog park.

 First, the bad: An Akita/pit bull mix tried to dominate Lady early in our visit. It actually tried to hump her head, but the big dog's owner got it off her quickly. Later, it tried to climb on her the normal way. The owner hurried up again, but Lady quickly growled/barked at him. He got off and moved away.

 GOOD girl.

 Later, Lady started running alone. She sprinted across the lower part of the dog park, then ran around a bit. She reminds me of a halfback in the open field when she does that, and it's fun to watch.

 I was a little surprised that she ran so much, though. When we got out of the van the other day, she actually held one of her hind legs off the ground as though she was hurt.

 She wasn't hurt today, though. Just upset.
