From Chaos to Bliss

Quite a crowd at the park Saturday morning! Pups from six inches to four feet tall were there. And just guess who was chasing whom! It got too hectic for me. Any time I found a good spot to roll in, at least two or three dogs would come running over to check it out, and away would go my chance to really roll and thrash around. The sun also got pretty hot. Even though I'm almost done shedding, my coat stays thick all year round and I get hot. So much for the chaos.

When I finally got mom to leave the field for some shade, and our own yard, we ran into some neighbors just arriving at the park. Zoe and I don't get along all that well, so I just lay in the shade while she fussed. Well, maybe I fussed a little too, but then I really did lay down! My mom and her mom started talking. And kept talking. Zoe's dad finally took her for a walk. And that's when the bliss started. Zoe's human sister came and sat by me, and started scratching my head, right around the ears where it feels soooo good. Then she got into the whole-body-scratch, and oh my, I was in HEAVEN. Talk mom, talk. We're doing just fine here! And they did. What a great way to spend a morning!
