Dog Park

tag: The other day me, dad, grandma and Nick went to the dog park for the first time.  Wow! What an experience that was!  The second I walked into the park, this black thing jumped on my back and scared me half to death.  Turns out it was a dog trying to "play".  Well, I wasn't used to that, so I was trying to get away from him, but everytime I'd pause, there he would be again.  On my back!  I was running all over the place, frantic.  The lady who owned the dog stooped over to see if she could get him to come to her so he would leave me alone.  He just ignored her though and continued to pursue me.  Well as soon as I saw her bend over, I saw my chance and grabbed it.  I jumped on her back so fast everybody's heads were spinning.  Hey!  Queen of the Hill over here!  Try to get me now, black thing!  My grandma was so embarrassed, but she also saw the humor in it and was laughing so hard she could barely pick me up.  The lady was laughing too.  Finally I was up off the ground safe in grandma's arms!  She soon put me down again though and told me I would have to get used to things like this.  It didn't take too long before I told that dog where to go and he finally left me alone.

The park was fun.  I could run around with no leash and play ball with dad and Nick or go jump in grandma's lap if I needed to be protected.  There are two sides to the park.  One is for larger dogs and the other is for smaller dogs.  That black thing went into the big dog side and guess what?  Those big dogs were chasing after him like he chased after me!  Haha!  Karma!

Those big dogs were hilarious though.  There was a small kiddie pool on their side.  Someone would fill it up with water, and one of the big dogs would come over and PLOP itself into the pool.  After a few minutes another big dog would wander over to the pool.  The dog in the pool would growl, but he would get out and let the other dog have the pool, whereupon HE would PLOP into it.  They continued this game the whole time we were there.  One big ol' dog after the other GROWLING and PLOPPING!  We all laughed about that!

After we went to the dog park, Nick went to the batting cage and practiced hitting the ball.  He liked that a lot!

I hope we go back to the dog park soon.  Maybe I can meet some friends to play with.
