We're back

AN OLD SHOT OF LADY AT THE DOG PARK...

Lady and I hadn't been to the dog park in awhile until today. I was afraid the grass was wet, so I took a stool I could use on the concrete.

The park was empty (probably because of rain earlier today), but I woman I recognized showed up with her dog Chase.

Then some other folks came in, and Joe came in with Charlie. I took Lady over to the big-dog side to be with all the people and dogs, but she soon laid down in the middle of the field. So we left.

But it was good to be out and about again.
