Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I’ve been busy getting the Christmas lights up – I’ve been weeding out the old bulbs and getting these new fangled lights up. I’ll get a pic or two up to show how half looks lol…
We took Max to the off leash one day then we went to Home Depot. Max was fine left in the car, and then i dropped Pam off for an ATM dash – Max took the opportunity to check out the better view from the front!
This picture is of Max and Pam at Freedom Off Leash Park. Max is eager to get back to running with his new buddies, rather than pose for a picture with Pam!
Freedom Park is a nice park, with a big play area for dogs to socialize, and a small network of paths meandering through some trees and brush.
It allows you to take your pet for a walk alone, while they are off leash, or you can let your dog mingle with the wide range of dogs out walking their owners.
One of the more unique dogs we saw there today was a 1 yr old GoldenDoodle named Chevy (her birthday was today) – we actually met two Goldendoodles, the second one had been to a groomer and her hair was cropped shorter, and that owner said that their hair was not supposed to be left long, but we did like the way Chevy’s hair rippled when she ran. They sure are a frisky friendly lot. But they are also a larger breed, with bushels of hair!
Here is a movie of Max socializing with Chevy, the GoldenDoodle – She was just 1 year old, and frisky! Quite a tease really, wanting Max to chase her to try to get the grey ball, or the stick, or the red ball, or the orange ball- she found every toy in the park.
This picture of Elmo, a 12 year old Blue Heeler, is our neighbour’s dog. He’s looking awfully dapper in his blue bandana!
Elmo and Buck were best buddies. He doesn’t see too well, and Buck was pretty much deaf.
Elmo and Max are trying to get along – it’s a work in progress. Last night they did really well. Nobody jumped the other!
Hmm… I have been hearing about a meet and greet. I have to go out to mission to meet some other dogs, and if I get along with them I can stay with them (I think they called it boarding) while Mum and Dad go on holidays. It sounds like a fun place, sounds like there are alot of other dogs there to play with so that might be fun. I’m not throwing my support behind the idea 100%, I’ll have to meet Anna Maria and Brian and then I’ll make my decision!
I might decide that being around alot of other dogs, going for walks in the woods, getting fed a couple times a day, getting to sleep on my swell beds at her place.. being entertained all day.. that might be terrible.. hey… wait a minute, that doesn’t sound bad at all? Well I’ll just keep an eye on the other dogs and see what they are like and then I’ll let you know how this meet and greet goes.. I think it’s going to happen in a week or two. Stay tuned!
Max!
Hey everyone,
Not really a Max post – just wanted to put up a few more pictures so you can see how scary it was! haha We had a terrific time!
Here’s one of Max – I’m sure he’s thinking – now he smells familiar, but wow, bad hair day or what?
