I am about to give Marty a bath. A man was at Saxe Point Park with two big dogs. One was a female bloodhound cross, the other, a male Rotweiller. The female decided Marty was one of her 13 long-lost puppies, and played with him, barking and growling... It was really scary to watch, but Marty and she had a great time. Then Sam and Pippin came and joined in, along with Ivy, an elegant, diamond-studded standard poodle. It was really something to see, but Marty got all slobbered on --he looked like he'd gone down to the water--and that, mixed with the dirt... YUCK! Kathleen got pics. Marty--the Rottweiller puppy!

Sam, Marty and the other little dogs played nicely as could be expected with the giant mother-dog trying to play with them. Marty and she were playing before Sam got there, and then, of course, Sam tried to get between them to "protect" Marty. She scared me, but meant no harm, other than playing pretty rough. She kept trying to get at his halter. Straaaaange.
