I know, I know. An unemployed librarian just doesn’t have that much to talk about. Except the dog. We went to our first advanced dog obedience class on Wednesday night and Katie was out of control crazy through most of it. Maybe she was nuts because we hadn’t done any homework in the park for a couple of weeks, given the rain and my broken foot. So since yesterday was so pretty I decided we needed to go.

She was SO excited when I asked her if she wanted to go to the park. Actually she gets excited whenever I ask her if she wants to “GO.” Katie did rather well with her homework. Even did a few stands and stays without much prompting, and is starting to remember where she’s supposed to be while we’re at heel. Sort of. Then, since the weather was beautiful, and neither of us wanted to go home we wandered over to the pond at the park.

We spent about an hour exploring the pond; Katie was interested in the green alge and some fallen leaves floating in the clear water. but she wasn’t brave enough to actually get her feet or nose wet! After she and I ran around a bit I settled at a picnic table and let her explore on her leash. She had a wonderful time. Come to think of it…so did I!

After a big afternoon at the park, Katie was happy to go home and take a nap on her favorite sofa pillows.

But she wasn’t in the mood to share her pillows with me!
