It's official.....we've gone to the dogs

The day was so nice this last Saturday. Our family decided we'd like to check out this new park we discovered the other day. So, we lovingly loaded into the van and cheerfully drove to this nice new park......A DOG PARK!!! I've never seen one of these before. What a crack up! They even had plastic fire-hydrants. One section was gated off for small dogs and then another was mixed. There was sand to dig in, little hills and tons of grass to run and get wild on. Our dog Toby was very hesitant and just went around sniffing other dog's rears - yucky! Then, when a dog would turn to play, Toby would run over by us and hide under the bench. Every once in a while he would venture out and do a mad dash around the perimeter. Our other "human" son, however, is a totally different story. He LOVED the park. He had his "groupies" that followed him around everywhere. It cracked us up because for 1 1/2 hours we sat on this bench watching Nathan run back and forth smiling and having a great ole time.....all the while a pack of dogs would be chasing after him and having just as much fun. Once in a while Nathan would lay in the grass and all these dogs would cheerfully jump all over him. Nate had a HUGE smile on his face the entire time. It ended up being one of our funnest days. We really laughed and had so much fun the entire time. Hanging out with dogs really is quite refreshing! They're funny!
