Today Matt drove me out into the park and even with my poncho and stocking cap on I got cold. So Tom took me back to the car and I got to watch the dogs.
They are fascinating to watch all the different kinds, mixes and breeds. They form never-ending groups of dogs. Sometimes a be up back running one way and then wanted to dogs will join a different group. I never realize how social dogs can be until yesterday. Of course Atlas gets so excited when we pull into the park there because he knows get to go to the dog park. We don't know why he gets excited because he really doesn't socialize like the other dogs do.
All he cares about is chasing Ms. ball and getting to it before anybody else and bring it back to Tom or Matt. I think he likes a dog park because other dogs try to get to his ball before him and he gets to show that they don't have a chance! I think he likes it when other dogs try to get away from them and occasionally one of them is a little faster gets to it first. Sometimes he tries to chase them to get back to the times he just like shrugs his shoulders and says oh well grandma will give me another ball.
I feel pretty fortunate to get out this early in March. The wind is just crazy though. Today was sunny when we were there so I thought it would be okay. But there are no windbreaks of the dog park and I could not get somewhere warm. At our house there wasn't much went in the sun was out and it was gorgeous. His son felt so warm.
I guess to sum it up I'm fascinated by all the different breeds and mixes that try to guess what the mixes are made up of. The only type I have seen more than one of his Labrador retrievers. Other than that it is always a total mix. Today we saw one that looked just like a golden retriever only was totally black. It wasn't a Gordon setter because it did not have those characteristics. I never did find the owner to ask them all kind it was.
