Look at the big back yard/dog park. It's fully fenced, with poop bags, trash cans, and bunches of tennis balls. I took Lucy in here while her daddy stayed on the deck in the shade. Lucy socialized with the other dogs but she can't resist a tennis ball. She's a retriever, after all. So I spent quite a bit of time throwing for her (and random other dogs too). Here she is, bringing the ball to me. And yes, she was the biggest dog there!
After a while we went to join Daddy on the deck. Lucy is a turbo dog with her tennis balls so how could he resist a beer called Turbo Dog?
Lucy became very comfortable on the deck. She figured out all the people who came up or down the stairs would touch her if she got close enough. See that hand on the right, getting ready to pet her.
Eventually it was time to leave. Given that it was such a pretty day, we were driving topless. Here's a photo before all the seatbelts were fastened.
We left and went to Little Bigs for dinner. They serve great sliders. Lucy is welcome on their deck so it's a good place for us. Unfortunately Chef Caswell was not there. I would have liked to congratulate him for doing so well on Next Iron Chef last fall.
This was a good day!

Oh what FUN...we totally need a BAR attached to our dog park!
Quite a fun day you had!! Makes me want to get a dog and move to Houston. :-)
Color me JEALOUS. Neither of my girls could manage that. Sis has no boundaries and would want to sit ON the picnic table, and Gretchen is currently displaying her shyness by screaming and charging at the new dogs we meet when we walk a different route...
I'm still not sure which one is going to use the doggy class certificate we won at the auction last month.
