Ooh, I feel good!!!

Today was awesome. Really, it was just an ordinary day but somehow it rocked. We went to work with mom as usual which was usual but the weather was a bit cool. It has been so very hot for so long that the cool weather was very much appreciated. When we got home, mom's friend called and said the park was open again. We don't like the real dogpark. It is a bit dangerous and too small to even play fetch. There are large river rocks that go through the park and big holes down the middle where the sprinklers pop up. We go to the neighborhood flood basin. It has been closed for months and finally reopened. The mix of the cool air and getting to see my friends again made me quite fiesty. I noticed a couple dogs outside the fence and immediately went to bark at them. Mom came to get me and tell me to stop barking. She was amazed to see that they looked like me. By the time mom walked over, I was bored with them and went back to check for squirrels. I checked them out for a while then went to see what everyone else was doing. Cotton was playing fetch with mom and I wanted to play so I stole Cotton's ball. Mom took it back but mom's friend had a ball I could play with. There was a boy that wanted to throw the ball for me so mom gave it to him and he threw it a long way before mom could tell him not to throw it very far. He threw it all the way down the hill and into the basin. I tore off after it, slid into a diving catch and zoomed up the hill, ready to go again. That is a long way for my little legs. Everyone was amazed by my speed and how much better I looked. I was still a bit sick the last time I was there. I ran after the ball several times before I saw some of my friends playing wrestle n' run. That's my favorite game, I dropped the ball to join them. Then I saw a Doxie outside the fence and zoomed over to bark at her. Mom came to get me again. I kept barking and so did the other dogs as the moms tried to talk. When mom walked away she finally put me down. I ran back to the fence to stick my tongue out at the other dog then ran back to mom who told me that wasn't nice. Later they walked by again and I walked with them pretending to be a good girl, not making a sound but I made the other dog bark like mad for walking the fence with them. The other dog had to be on a leash because he was outside the fence. I then bounced off to see if I could find something to chase. By then mom was actually beginning to get cold. I can't believe it-cold. I was feelin' good! After a while longer, mom said it was time to go and called me to get my leash. I pretended not to hear. Mom then said she would just leave me, I came running as fast as I could. Can you believe she was just going to leave me? I hadn't even had dinner yet. I could never be mad at mom though, I love her too much so I covered her with kisses to remind her that she couldn't live without me either and she confessed she was only joking. She loves me way too much.
Mom has all the windows open so it is getting a bit cool inside, my tummy is full from a yummy dinner, and I'm getting all snuggly and sleepy.
C-ya.
