Barefoot in the Park
>> Tuesday, August 30, 2011 –
Falcon Park,
Katy TX,
Labrador Retriever
Well, not the movie but we did walk to the neighborhood park this morning. I figured this would be a good change of pace for us. Plus, it gave me a chance to work on Zoe's leash training.
The recreation center park is only a half mile down the road and we pass a retention pond on the way. Sometimes I let Zoe swim in the water and in the evenings a guy takes his chocolate lab out there for hunting training. However, the pond has gotten really low this past year due to the lack of rain.
Ahh, we've made it to the park!
Yet another hot and humid morning in Katy, TX. Zoe was already panting by the time we got there.
Evidently I was not the only one with this idea this morning. I was a little worried when I saw people come in with two Corgis. I figured they'd get upset that my dog was off leash, but when they saw me they asked if their dogs could play with Zoe. Uh, of course!!
Would you look at that tongue? Next time I'll bring bottled water.
After the Corgis left Zoe did a bit more exploring. She went nuts over the sand in the volleyball area.
Butt tuck = wild dog!
On our way home Zoe stopped for a quick dip in the pond. It was so hot that I wanted to jump in myself.

Millie Bush Bark Park in the A.M.

Houston TX,
Millie Bush Bark Park
I do enjoy seeing the sunrise over our favorite park. What would we do without Millie Bush Bark Park? I'd go insane that's what. Zoe woke me up at 6:00am this morning begging to go to the park. Part of me didn't want to get out of bed but I knew I'd regret it later in the day when it's 104 degrees outside and she's chasing the cat no matter how many times I say "leave it." Ah, the joys of puppyhood.

Spoiled bitch!

Zoe and Daniel
This is typical for these two. I guess it's because I work from home and she sees me all day. Once Daniel gets home she greets him with a full body wag and a toy in her mouth. After that she refuses to leave his side. Oy! Spoiled to the bone!

Zoe & Sunny

Zoe and Sunny
Sunny is my neighbors dog, whom I've become really good friends with. Zoe pretty much worships Sunny and has since the day she met her. Lately they haven't been able to play as much because Sunny is a senior dog and her age is starting to catch up with her.
However, on days that it is ok for them to play all I have to do is mention Sunny and Zoe runs to the front door.
She really loves her friend and it's nice to have an older dog put her in her place at times.
Funtastic weekend

Millie Bush Bark Park
We spent our weekend mornings at Millie Bush Bark Park. It was like a sauna outside yesterday, yet the park was quite busy by 7:00am. Zoe doesn't really seem to mind the heat so much, as long as she is in the water.
While there is a decent size park here in Katy, TX, we prefer Millie Bush because it has two huge lakes and a separate small dog park. Which is great because Zoe does not care for the small dogs, especially if they're wearing clothes (it's as funny as it sounds).
She sure does love the water. Just don't mention the word "bath." Apparently that's a different kind of water. The kind that's NOT fun!
Check out that leap! Perhaps we should enter her in a flyball competition one day? Or not. I think she's quite content being just a regular dog.
Oh, this is Toby, Zoe's new friend. He is also an 8 month old lab, and they love to wrestle and chase each other all over the park. What a great pair!
"Ah, the sun feels great on on my back!"
Home we go! Smell ya later bark park. "The couch is awaiting my presence.!"

Early morning at Millie Bush Bark Park
>> Sunday, August 14, 2011 –
Millie Bush Bark Park
We usually head for the dog park around 8am, but Daniel has been having car troubles lately. So, until his car is fixed we are sharing mine, which means Zoe and I have to get to the park much earlier. I actually don't mind because I really enjoy the early morning crew. Everyone is so nice and their dogs are great with mine.
We've been coming here since she was 4 months old. She fell in love with the water immediately. Fetching took a while longer however.
Fetching doesn't last long though, as she gets easily distracted. What do you expect from from a puppy?
By the time we get home she goes straight for the couch and crashes. Ah, lazy Sundays!
