Mom is Back at School Again

Sucks.

Return to the Wild

We haven't been to the offleash park in quite a while, basically, because I'm a big wuss about the man-eating mosquitoes that live there. We finally braved it the other day, and found the park to be blissfully empty. I suspect that has to do with the ridiculous height of the grass, and the swamp-like nature of the ground after a wetter-than-normal summer.

.

BUT... an empty park meant that Dixie got to have her first run offleash, and she behaved fabulously.

^See what I mean about the grass? There are THREE dogs in this picture!!

^Two dogs. One of them is Epic, and damn is he cute.

The park also has a lovely slough. TONS of fun for the four-leggers. I *maybe* should have bathed Epic after, 'cuz he suffered with a rash on his undercarriage for about 3 days. Ever try to keep a teenage JRT from scratching his 'little epic' raw? Not fun. Sometimes kinda funny... but not fun....
