A day at the park
David and I decided to take both dogs around the pond this morning. Well, we decided to head around at least part of the pond. It wasn't horribly hot, but the dogs looked pretty hot and mostly wanted to lay down in the grass. So we packed up some bowls, some ice water, and a bit of chocolate for David and I and headed down.
We took Teri off leash at the spot we rested at and she did brilliantly again. We ended up walking back to the other end of the pond with her off leash and she did GREAT. I was seriously impressed. She ran around and checked things out but always came back to us when we called her name. Dahlia LOVED having her off leash. Teri would go running to us or to something and Dahlia would go racing after her. It wasn't really playing on Teri's part (I'm not even sure Teri noticed Dahlia running after her), but it was on Dahlia's end and it was fun to watch.
A very proud Dahlia after chasing the geese and ducks back into the pond where they clearly belong!

Dahlia loves her Daddy!
Mama duck and her babies...so cute!

XTREME CLOSEUP
After a good roll in the grass, Teri came up looking like this.

Oh hi there.
Stand!
Oh boy, Daddy's gonna give me a treat!
Getting ready to leap.
Teri wonders what the heck that other dog is doing way up there.
Oh hi there!

Teri looks so silly when she runs.
Squirrel!
