Friday in the Dog Park with Liza

Friday is the day where Mom and I get to hang out - just us girls. Since spring has sprung (and hopefully summer isn't too far behind) we have been going up to Salem. First stop is the dog park! It's called Leslie's Retreat Park, I think it is a historical reference from the US Revolutionary War, I'll have to get my human on learning about that so we will know for sure.

So yesterday we met a few nice doggies, one is the black mix and his name is Rex. He is lots of fun to wrestle and run around with. Mom was a little annoyed because we rolled in the dirt and my collar got dirty - but later she realized she could just throw it in the wash and all was forgiven.

THEN - along came this big scary thing - he was bigger than any dog I've ever seen! Actually, he looked more like a MOUNTAIN! Mom says he is a Great Dane and sure enough he was lots of fun too, very gental and very fast with those long legs. We didn't catch his name, but his human told us he was a baby, just a year old. Do ya think he will get bigger??? YIKES.

After the dog park we scooted over to Winter Island where our boat lives in the summer. I have no idea why it is called an island, because it really isn't - humans - go figure. We didn't go out on the boat cause Dad was working, but we did play on the rocky beach.





We had a great Friday, unfortunately today was too rainy and blowy to go fishing so Mom is cleaning the house and during her lunch break has been helping me blog. We are also hoping Maggie, Mitch and their humans are having better weather than us over there in Connecticut! Ah well, my human has to dust and I have a bully stick to work on! Have a happy day!

Oh and Mom tried out the video option on her camera - she's no Scorsese but she trys real hard. Maybe Dad will get the hint and buy her a video camera. Here is our "First Try"

We have those horse looking things at our park. They come in a big pack on Sundays! I like to chase them. Seriously, the bigger, the more fun they are to boss!

Dory, I wished I lived that close to the water...did you get your paws wet?

I also have to tell you - you have a nice dog park...mine is just a closed off tennis court. No trees or grass. It sucks.
