Back to the Old Dog Park!

Mom took me back to our Scottsdale dog park.  They did a lot of work on it over the summer.  It's lots nicer.  Plenty of green grass.  And I especially liked the new guys I met this time.

This is Champ and Charlie.  Charlie is a girl.  She's something between a Pit Bull and a Beagle.  So she's really cute, and she has a ton of spunk.  She likes to play with the "Boys".  That's Champ and me. 

Champ is fun.  We had a good time with Charlie.  We kinda ganged up on her, 'cuz she liked to play tough.  

But it was all in fun.  I was really interested in why Charlie is the way she is.  So when we all stopped fooling around for awhile, we talked.

Charlie told us that she had been a stray puppy for a long, long time.  She had to fend for herself.  Find food and water.  Find a place to sleep.  It was rough.  Then one day, a human tried to capture her.  He tempted her with food.  Really good food!  But she wasn't having anything to do with it.  See, she was afraid.  She didn't know what would happen to her.  But one day, when she wasn't paying a lot of attention, she got tricked and the next thing she knew, she was in a truck and whisked away.

It turned out OK, though.  'Cuz she got lots of food and water and lots of pets and cuddles, till she decided maybe this wasn't so bad.  And then the man who was at the park picked her out of all the other puppies and took her home.  She really likes him and thinks life is pretty good now.

I guess I had it pretty lucky.  I went from my doggie mom to a foster home before I even knew I was lost.  And from there I went to Mom and Dad and life has always been good and easy for me.  I never had to find food or water.  (Although, sometimes someone forgets to fill my water bowl, but all I have to do is sit next to it and stare at Mom or Dad!  Then it gets filled.)

We all three played hard that day.  I finally found a cool mud spot and sat down.  But I'm glad to be back to my Scottsdale dog park with fun new friends.

Hope you're having an easy and fun life.  

Love, G
