By prearrangement I took Katie to a state park a few miles up the road to meet a friend and her dog Peep.  Peep was in the same obedience class with Katie a long time ago, and we’ve been following her trials  via facebook for the last couple of years.

When I got home from work tonight I asked Katie if she wanted to go to the park!  And of course she did, spinning her excitement as I chopped up some cheese for treats.  Her Dad brought up the fact that she was getting to go for a walk at the park and a ride in the car AND she was getting treats!  Katie spun faster.  I had to put her in the car before I was ready to leave, she was so excited.

Anyway, we made it to the park, one I’ve never visited before, and met up with Peep and her Mom.  It’s a beautiful park and the dogs enjoyed exploring, both along the lakefront and on a trail into the woods.

I wondered how Katie would be with another dog, and it turns out neither of them cared particularly that the other one was there.

In fact it was just about impossible to get a photo of the two of them together, how those of you with two dogs ever get them to sit still at the same time, in the same place is beyond me!

Regardless of the photo quality we all had a great time!

Katie and I are looking forward to our next visit to the park with her new doggie friend!
