Muddy New Year

After several days of not enough activity, due to rain and my work schedule, it was time to play on the ball field and burn off some energy.  Both dogs ran and played until they could hardly run any more. They also wrestled and rolled in what turned out to be very wet grass.

Although it doesn't show, Brea had quite a lot of mud on her legs and belly.

Siri's coat was gritty with dirt and mud.

It wasn't the worst mess they've been, but they still needed a lot of cleaning up.  The dirt doesn't really show up in these pictures.

They're Back!

The giant spiders are back, and these are bigger than the ones I've been finding in the house lately.  Brea and Siri aren't worried.

On Saturday, I took Siri to the new (new to me) dog park at Ridenour Park in Nitro.  There were maybe ten dogs already there, including two German Shepherds about Siri's size, and several tiny little dogs smaller than Neighbor Cat.  Siri seemed nervous at first, but after awhile she settled down and began running and playing with the other dogs.

I want to take Siri there a few more times to make sure she's comfortable, before bringing Brea.  The plan then will be to let Brea watch from outside the fence, so she can watch Siri and see that the dog park is a fun place.

I haven't posted much here lately because I've been posting pictures on Instagram instead.  That's just me being lazy.  It's so convenient to post pictures directly from my phone.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Just a Couple of Pictures

I haven't posted much this summer - haven't really done anything new or interesting with the dogs, and putting updates on Instagram seems faster and easier.  Anyway, here are a couple that I took last night:
