Going to the dog park

My friend from work was telling about how much she misses having a dog now that she lives in an apartment in the city. So today B and I decided we’d go for a visit and take Jade along to meet her.

We all decided to go for a walk to the local park and I was excited to learn that there was an off-leash dog park nearby. Jade had never been to one before so I was a little concerned at how her manners would be around potential new doggie friends (she’s been known to be like a bossy toddler in large groups of dogs…). But she did wonderfully, met lots of great dogs and even exchanged a few phone numbers. 

There were the two excitable Kelpies who ran rings around everyone chasing each other. There was the extremely shy but curious young black Lab who so desperately wanted to come up and talk to Jade but just couldn’t summon up the courage. There was the Weimeramer-type dog who was beautiful and well-mannered and had the smoothest coat. And then there was the most adorable 3 month old Chocolate Lab just like the one that B and I want to adopt one day! Gertie was very playful and bouncy and just wanted to bite Jade’s face and paws and tail and leg….
