Fun at the Puppy Park

Chloe: “We, Thibodeaux and I, have been having a “large” time the past week…Our Momma has found the puppy park in Greer…(not that it was lost or we had never seen it..but, it finally dawned on her to take us)the back yard at the house is of a nice size..not to small , but not real big..yet, all the humans that live around are VERY close..Momma doesn’t care for it very much! I , myself think that it just gives us more people to watch over… Anyway, Momma said the Puppy Park would be a good place for us to go and run and play and bark all we want…there’s a lot more room there and we have met some interesting puppies and their people.."

Thibodeaux: “Chloe’s not kidding!!! I have so much fun at the park!! Chloe will play with me some..but, then she’s ready to lay down on the hill and watch over me, to make sure I don’t get into trouble! (you know how older big sisters are!) Man, oh man, do I have fun!! I watch Momma every day to see if she puts on her tennis shoes, fills our big water jug, puts her book and camera in the tote bag and then heads for our leashes..!!!..I get so excited I can barely wait..I’ll “sit” for my leash to be put on…but, Oh, my!! Momma gets to slow!!! Sometimes, I’ll have to “sit”…maybe three whole times before she can get it on my collar…Oh, I love to ride in our van!! and when it goes to the puppy park, that makes it even better!! When we get there..We can run around and check all the “mail” (scented messages) that other puppies have left and then we have gotten to play with a few puppies, too…The other day , we met “Trixie” she is a little brown dog that will jump up on the picnic table so she doesn’t look so short…we got along just fine…Chloe only had to quietly tell her not to get in Mommas tote bag one time and she minded very well…We have also met two “skinny ,tall” pups..Momma calls them Greyhounds…Ty and Chloe have not quite come to a calm decision as to how we are all going to get along so our Mommas make us stay in the opposite “yards” with a fence in between. But, that’s O.K. for now, ‘cause we can “race” up and down the fence line and have a real big time!! I heard our Mommas talking about how they were retired from the race track and how Ty came from a “Animal friendly” track but, that Freddie was at one that was cruel and sometimes they would “beat” the dogs…it’s a real good thing people like their Momma adopts them and gives them a loving home too.

When we leave the park sometimes we get to stop by Daddy’s job site…If there are a lot of men there working we get to see all kinds of things going on…but, the most fun is when they are all gone..except maybe John and Benito..Daddy will close the big gates letting us run and play all over the site…there are lots of smells to smell and lots of hills to run up and down…by the time we get in the van to go back to the house…I am so tired and ready to go home and take a nap!”

Chloe: “ We have a lot of fun and I am Always glad when Thibby is ready to lay beside me for a good long nap!”
