Weekend of the Dog, Day Two

On Sunday Mom and Dad took me to the Dog Bowl. The Cotton Bowl field in Dallas was turned into one giant dog park for the afternoon. There were dogs everywhere! From big, huge dogs like mastiffs and Great Danes (I didn't see any Nanooks or Pookas though) to little, teeny toy dogs. It was sooo much fun. There wasn't as much stuff there as I'd expected (in terms of vendors, food, etc.), and I really think they should have had some gates and fences in place. The whole thing was just wide open with no gate to keep dogs inside the field. When we first got there a dog went flying through the crowd right out through to the entrance. Luckily people were able to herd him back in. Mom and Dad made sure to keep me away from the area where the entrance was when I was off leash.

Here's a picture of everything when we first walked in. See all the dogs and people?

Mom and I played a game of "musical mutts." It was fun, although I think Mom was more into it than I was. After that I got to run free! I alternated between running like a crazy man and strolling at a leisurely pace.

Here I am taking a break in one of the many doggie pools they had around. I think they were really meant for drinking from, but I have a thing with water. I just have to lay down in it. There must have been at least five kiddie pools there, and every one I came across I got right in and made myself comfy.

In between dips in the pool, I went around to visit with people and other dogs. Here I am saying hello to a cute little basset hound.

(Hey, do you know Sam?)

Nothing like a good, cold drink after some hard play.



We went to Petsmart after our trip to the Dog Bowl. Mom and Dad were looking for something for the cats (as if they need anything else), but I got a new toy! I named him Rocky.



Mmmm, lobster. Oddly enough, it turns out lobsters are squeaky. Who knew?


This was the best weekend ever!
