DOT -- Deserted Dog Park

Yes, it rained the night before. Yes, the dog park was a muddy mess. Yes, it was threatening to rain again. But I didn't expect the dog park to be totally deserted on Saturday morning. For the first half hour we were there Lucy had the whole thing to herself!

This sign always makes me laugh. Lucy demonstrates proper "dog use" of the pond.

She's a natural-born swimmer.

Sitting pretty, waiting for me to throw the ball.

What a retriever!

Mud between her toes makes this girl smile.

A note on the fire hydrant: There are several scattered throughout the park. I was beginning to think that was just a myth, the story about dogs and fire hydrants. I'd never seen a dog "use" a fire hydrant in the park...until a few weeks ago. Hershey (yes, I know several of the dogs' names but not the parents' names) used the fire hydrant. So I guess it isn't a myth after all.

Another note: iPhone photos aren't bad at all!
