Trip to the Dog Park

Well I finally found a dog park that wasn't thirty miles away. There's one in Plano, north and east of us about 12 miles. It's not as big as I envisioned dog parks to be, but there is plenty of room. It's divided into big dogs and small dogs, and as Mavvy does not weight over thirty pounds at this point, and she is kind of short, I think she'll be happy in the small dogs area for a while yet and maybe permanently.

She was quite skittish at first, cowering when the dogs came over to smell her. But she loosened up some. Though when she ran off too far she'd turn around to see if I was following behind her. We played a little fetch, and we worked on sitting and staying and "come here" with all the other dog distractions. She got about an 80%. With "come here" being the worst faring of them all. But I didn't want to yell loud over every one to get her to listen, but if I had I'm pertty confident she would have come trotting over.

She ran and ran and ran and ran in cirlce until she finally collapsed under the table. The whole thing took about 40 minutes, and then she'd just tuckered herself out. She's slept ever since. :)

And as a side note: I made the shrimp and couscous for dinner last night. Yum!
