Running with the big dogs
Contented and snoring blissfully at the doorway, Sophie is in a deep, deep sleep. She is unaware of her housemates (the cats) jumping over her to get in and out of the room – or maybe she knows and just doesn’t care. Let them jump – she had a great day.
Today Sophie went to the dog park with her “pack” – and her dog walker. I’m told that she raced to the front of the pack, and thoroughly enjoyed the canine company, the beautiful sunshine and little bit of snow she could find in which to throw herself to the ground as Goldens do – and practice her rolls. Of course, the only thing happier than a wet Golden retriever is a dirty and wet retriever, so she found her share of mud, too. You know you’ve had a good day when …. you feel the mud squish between your toes !
She ate, she ran, she rolled, she demanded treats, and she was a Dog today.
She smells like a Dog today. 🙂
I can’t ask for anything better than that.

Oh that’s so wonderful that Sophie had a great day at the dog park. You are so right…you can’t ask for anything better than that! It’s those little things that you grow to appreciate so much now that we’re fighting this battle. Love the pictures of Sophies’ housemates and of course, Angel Keaton. He looks like a true love! You must miss him so much. Here’s wishing many, many more dog park days ahead for Sophie and her pack! Kami (Mackenzie’s Mom)
