Teddys Friends likes to host a dog field trip at least once per week to Shirlington Dog Park. The weather has been so nice lately and its always so enjoyable to watch the dogs swim. Teddy, my dog, doesn't swim. He just hops around and looks for sticks. My husband and I tried to go into the water with him for encouragement but still no luck.
This weekend we went to the dog park with Ben, Teddy, Rowdy and Bean (brothers from another mother). My human friends met up with me there and helped tire out the dogs with a game of fetch. All of the dogs, except for Teddy, LOVE playing fetch and will chase a tennis ball for hours without getting bored. Ben is so energetic and doesn't realize how big he is. He whips around the park with no cares in the world. His only concern is ball ball ball throw the ball ball ball throw the ball. I think that's what he thinks of, like counting sheep. Except more interactive.
Rowdy and Bean also love tennis balls except they don't really run. They walk briskly to the ball and then carry it around like a hot potato, passing it to each other like a team.
All of this fun happens while my Teddy marches to a different drummer, i.e. stick searching. His all-time favorite hobby is digging holes and you can often find him behind a tree starting a hole.
Happy Saturday!
