Eddie Can Play

Ed and I now go to the dog park so often, and I see so many funny and interesting things, that I can't even write about it. But today was different. Today, Eddie finally began to play with other dogs.

He ran with, chased, and was chased by all kinds of dogs. And when a thug would bully a more timid dog into submission on the ground Eddie would haul ass to get over there and bark at and challenge the thug. Other owners noticed what he was doing, too.

Since our first day, Ed has 'not liked' a few dogs instantly. And for those dogs he does not like, if they want to come over to my bench or table for a pat on the head, Eddie blocks them away. He does this for any dog he doesn't like for any other person sitting at my bench or table. Luckily, though, he approves of most dogs and allows them to come get a little pat or two.

I'm feeling it, and really resisting the urge... I'm wanting another dog. A smallish dog, with shortish hair. One that is sweet and obedient and does not need 3 yrs of dog training at the local training club. And I'm already thinking of names. Uh-oh

  1. Oh, man! I can't wait to see what you get. I've had those thoughts too, but maybe a kitty. I'm dragging my feet, but maybe serendipity will drop something in my lap.
