We took the pups to Westminster Open Space this evening to romp around and socialize with other dogs. The open space is over 400 acres that is available for dogs to run around off-leash. It is by far the biggest dog-friendly park we have been in. There was a small stream running through it and also a nice pond for swimming.
It just so happens that we got a few inches of snow 2 days ago, and it all melted today. Holy mud, Batman! The dogs loved it. Me, not so much. My shoes kept getting stuck and I nearly lost them in the mud a few times. Bob came prepared with boots, but he couldn’t get away all neat and tidy either.
Coda had a great time playing fetch as he normally does. We are still trying to teach Wellesley how to fetch. He understands how to get the ball, but he would rather parade around with it and show off how proud he is to have it instead of bringing it back. Coda gets frustrated and follows him around waiting for Wellesley to drop the ball. A few times Bob had to throw a snowball to trick Wellesley into dropping the tennis ball for Coda.
After a while fetching and swimming it was time to go home. Bob was on clean-up duty and had to wipe the dogs down first.
