So we went to the Dog Park today!!!! This is Ben’s third time to the park. He is a perfect gentleman when we are there. He’s “slimed” quite a few people but he is definitely a favorite among the regulars. They all know his name now and he’s starting to learn some of the regular dogs. He seems to really like the little dogs, but, he is always very calm, and nothing gives me a bigger kick when a dog, of any size, because they are all smaller than him, chases him and he tucks his butt and runs like a scared cat!!! He is a hoot!!!
Below. Ben heard a noise from the business that borders the park. He was wondering what was going on. Alley is oblivious or maybe she just doesn’t care. She runs point always and Ben follows up with me, usually heeling at my side. They are so much fun to walk with.
Below. Ben and Alley romping! She tries to get ahold of his neck and in the process she gets “slimed” SO bad!!! Her head today was literaly spittle from ear to ear and brow to the back of her neck. Ewww!
Below. Look at those faces!!!! You have got to love those lips and ears!!!!!!
As you can tell we had a good time. I’m glad i remembered the camera.
Not a whole lot going on in the rest of the world. Tomorrow is election day. That makes me a bit busier at work. I have this coming weekend off, plus Monday and Tuesday, so that should be nice.
Looking forward to seeing Twilight in three weeks and going to see Shinedown in two weeks.

Good Morning!!
Today is the first day that Ben has to stay at home while I go to work. We went for a long walk this morning before I left and he should be tired enough to sleep until I get home.
Our walk was so much fun. This is the second walk that he and Alley have been on and they were much better today, not that they were bad before, but every day they grow closer and this morning they were in a cooperative mood. Every leaf that moved they both investigated. What one looked at the other had to see too. It was fun. It reminded me of the days of Alley and Topper. That makes my heart happy!
I think we make quite the picture as we walk. We had a young man with a pitbull cross to the other side of the street when he saw us coming. I had another older man go off the sidewalk and pass us about 6 feet away. As we’re passing he smiles and says to me, “You know what you have there?” I respond, “What?”. He says, “You have the right of way!” I laughed for a block.
Ben was in a great mood this morning. The walk was a necessity if he was going to stay in today. He and Alley were playing as I was trying to get out of bed, not so easy for me! Alley is notoriously fun loving in the morning. She thinks morning is the most exciting and fun time of the day. We do not share that feeling! She was barking at Ben, play bowing, trying to get him to get up. He thankfully slept from midnight to 0630 without so much as moving, and had I gone to bed earlier, I would have gotten more sleep as he had been out for hours before I finally stopped reading and went to bed.
Of course, if I wasn’t reading this book, I’d get more sleep. In the past two weeks I’ve read first, “Twilight” and now I just have 60 pages left in “New Moon”. Ugh… I guess I better go buy the third book tonight! That’s “Eclipse”, right?
