First, I forgot to include some of the other photos I got on Thursday that I really liked.
Today we took Dahlia to another nearby park, Thornden Park, for a little fun. Lots of pictures were had, of course!
This turtle was just sitting in the middle of the road, placed so it looked like it was trying to get back to the side. So strange, so I had to take a photo.
Here's the park. Thornden Park is gorgeous.
Dahlia thinks so too.
First, there was fetch.
And tug.
And more fetch.
And some recalls!
And then some sitting around.
And then there was an ELVIS GRIN!!
Sitting pretty for her Daddy.
Oh Mom...you have treats...right?
I CAN HAZ PAW!!
Mmmm treats.
Then more fetch and tug and running stuff.
And recalls over the hill!
And there was a MASSIVE TAIL.
Some more pics of the park.
And the clouds.
Ooo what's over there?
And then we met Samson.
Now let me tell you a little story about Samson. Apparently his original name was Spacebag...after some sort of cheap wine. The guy who owned him dumped him as an 8 week old puppy on the couple we met at some gathering and said "Can you watch him?" Then he didn't come back. Eventually he tracked them down and said "I don't want him back, but on his 1st birthday, give him some Spacebag...he really likes it." They were all "um ok sure" and that was the last they saw of the guy. Who on earth feeds any dog wine and most especially a puppy? The couple were horrified. Samson has grown into a great dog and doesn't get any more wine, obviously. Ugh some people are so fucked up.
