At the park today

Oh, hihihi!


Are you going to throw the ball for me?


I can swim out to get it now.


I'm not a very graceful at swimming yet.


But I'm getting there!



**************************************
THIEVERY!










Wolfie usually tires of keep-away, and Scorch emerges victorious.




This dog was really neat looking. She reminded me of a tiny Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever... maybe crossed with a delicate little bird.


We ran into some old friends of Wolfie's, and there was a fantastic chase.






Which ended with Franklin making "sand angels".


We met some other Border Collies there, and for THE FIRST TIME, a stranger accurately identified Scorch's breed. This little red fetch machine is ELEVEN years old and still lively as ever.


This BC actually looked and acted remarkably like Scorch, but I couldn't figure out who his owner was. He had the same overbite, expression, and posture, although he was obviously not a puppy. He LOVED Scorch, and Scorchie just wanted me to throw the damn ball.




Overcast or not, it was a fantastic day.
