Dog Days

I think this is going to become a trend. One where I constantly have no idea what to post. The most exciting thing that's happened in my life lately is the welcoming of a new dog into our family, which is pretty exciting.

He's a 6 month old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix and he's just a bit of a handful. With so much energy, he needs plenty of exercise. Lucky for me, I have a couple of amazing friends who are happy to walk him with me.

Yesterday, I walked down to my friend Sarah's house with my two dogs (Riley and Milo) so she could walk them with me. We picked up our friend Leah and her two dogs, who protested the journey the whole time, along the way. We must've left around 4 o'clock and didn't get back until 6:30. 

Our destination was a park near our neighborhood, which was no short walk. We crossed more than one busy road, which with four dogs and three girls was no easy task. The number of strange looks our pack got seemed to be infinite, but what did it matter if we were having fun? 

At the park, we sat down at a little pavilion and, of course, I pulled out my camera. We spent the next hour or so taking pictures surrounded by puppies.

Both of my friends took a liking to Riley, who was in no way opposed to the extra attention.

I got a couple of cute pictures with my boys.

Did I mention I got my hair cut?

Riley spent our time at the park trying to get Leah's two older dogs to play with him. They weren't having it, and instead he only succeeded in tangling up his leash around people, dog legs, and other leashes. By the end of our time there, he was pretty tired.

It was definitely a perfect day and an even better way to put off my homework. In fact, I think the only way it could have been better was if I hadn't stepped in mud, but that's a small price to pay for time spent with my best friends. 

With love,
