Just one of the dogs

We've taken the dogs to the park a couple times this year and one thing has become evident, Ari thinks he's just one of the dogs. He's not afraid to get in the mix at all. He runs with them, chases them, and at times seems to have more energy than they do; still running around after the other dogs have gone their separate ways to rest in the shade. Except Sundance, he has an unlimited supply of energy.

We have been meeting at Northwest Park so we can let the dogs run around in one of the softball diamonds. The biggest group of dogs we've had this year is Walter, Wyatt, Ginger, Pepper and Sundance. All the dogs get along really well and Ari fits right in with them, too. We usually take a tennis ball to throw, and that is Wyatt's forte. Last time, Walter and Sundance played quite a bit; which was good to see, because Walter is usually shy around other dogs.

We always have a good time at the "dog park" and we try to get there as much as we can early in the year because we can't take them out there once softball starts up again. It's a poop thing. It's fun to see all the dogs interact, each with their own personality and quirks. They have a great time getting to stretch their legs and run again after a long winter break.
