Fun Weekend!

  By

So yesterday Daisy and I went to Dogfest 2010.  I was pretty sure there would be a lot of people and it would be very crowded so I didn’t take Bella. I’m really glad I didn’t because she would have had a terrible time and probably would have pulled my arm off trying to get outta there. It was in a big open barn.  The weather is nice and not too hot here now.  It was a fundraiser for the Southeastern Guide Dogs.  There was raffles, agility demos, costume contests, BBQ, and lots to look at.  Many stores and animal related businesses had booths set up.  So many 50+ y.o. men just loved Daisy. Did every middle aged man have coonhounds growing up??  One guy from a pet supply store just loved Daisy up then gave me a sow’s ear for her for later.  LOL  Daisy is my man-charmer.

Having a great time in the crowd!

Today Daisy, Bella and I went to a new dog park.  They had a great time sniffing all around in the field.  We met someone there and her two dogs that the girls know and get along with. Overall the girls had fun, it was a nice park and we are having great weather. They love playing keep away with tennis balls. I wish there was some way to turn that into “fetch”.

Resting for just minute.

Wow busy weekend!

Ok, ok, I know it’s already Tuesday! We had a big weekend with Grannie and I was too tired to type!

So, Saturday morning we went to a meetup group at a doggie water park. When we first arrived I was a bit disappointed by how it looked because I thought it was kinda small for how expensive it was. Boy was I wrong!! This place was awesome if your dogs like the water! They had all sorts of fountains and sprayers and tunnels of water plus two wading pools.

Bell a had a blast! She ran through the water and played with dogs and even jumped through the wading pools a bit. Daisy on the other hand had fun, but did not like the water. There was plenty of room for her to hang around without getting wet. I got her to chase some tennis balls. She would run around the spray water instead of running in a straight line. A couple time the ball landed where water was spraying and she would try to get it but wouldn’t get wet. I was also trying to get her in the wading pool (like 1 foot deep) by tossing the tennis ball near the edge but she would keep her paws on dry land and lean into pool to get the ball. it was cute. I might not go there again unless a group of us goes because it’s kinda expensive for what you get. Bella likes the beach just as much and it’s free.

optical illusion, she isn't in the water!

I really want the ball!

Hi there!

Saturday evening we went to the dog park so the girls could run around and boy did they ever!!!  They ended up chasing each other, wrestling, and playing bitey face! I was so glad Grannie go to see them have that type of fun.  They both seem to enjoy it so I hope it happens more often.  It seems they both have to be in the right kind of playful mood at the same time.  Neither one overpowers the other too much.  Daisy does like to grab Bella’s throat but she doesn’t clamp down. Bella will give it right back to her though.

Bitey face!

I'll get your leg!

The girls were really sad to see Grannie go.  Now they expect 24/7 petting and attention like I don’t have work to do!!  She spoils them so much but of course they love every minute of it!
