DOG PARK

This is NOT the dog park but Alcatraz otherwise known as the only place we are allowed in the yard without our leashes on.

Friday night after work Mom and two boy grandmonsters along with me and mags ventured to the new dog park about 30 minutes from our home.  Mom was so excited she packed our leashes, and vests, and treats, and poo bags, and car seats, and treats, and water and camera (which she didn't use) yep she was tired before she even left the house.  So we pick up the boys and head off on our adventure. First, Maggie cried ALL THE WAY to the park.  We don't know if she thought she was going to the see Dr. Frankenvet or what it was. Mom did realize she isn't very socialized so she knows she needs to get her out in the car more.  Its just been so cold here in Iowa. I rode in my new car seat which didn't leave me much room to stretch out but I sure could see out the window.  Once we arrived at the park, Mom put our vests and leashes on.  There were two big huge dogs a running and playing and having fun.  You could tell they were buddies. Well Mag's was nervous and her tail uncurled and fell to the ground...I just walked on in the gate.  The big dogs ran over to say Hi and Maggie being the braver of the two(did I actually say that) snarled at them, they didn't even care that she was rude. Mom decided we had better leave the leashes on and just walk around a bit. I even actually walked and was having a good ole time. One time one of the big dogs, ran over to maggie and rolled her across the ground.  I swear it was the funniest thing I had ever seen, but Maggie came up a swinging her little fists! The owners apologized to Mom but she said Mags was okay.  Once the big dogs left, Mom took our leashes off and Maggie and I ran and ran.  We loved it.  We chased the boys, and each other, I was laughing and smiling. Dumb Mom left the camera in the car which is why we have no proof of our adventure to show you.  She did remember the treat bag tho...which one of the big dogs stole and had to give back! 

Later a puggle came and we played alot with him cos he was more our size.  His mom got him from a shelter and he was very very smart for only being 11 months old.  She would talk to him in french and he would sit, lay down etc.  Mom and I was impressed! Mag's didn't care she was to busy writing up a hit list on those big dogs, she is sending it to Puddles.

Mom promised we would go back soon, I can hardly wait and the next time she will take pictures. P.S. It was really muddy cos it is a new park and the grass wasn't seeded all the way.....we looked like pigs instead of pugs when we got home.
