Dogs on Propps at the Dog Park

We love the dog park!

It's long been promised, and today it finally happened...Dogs on Propps (sans Ella, who is too nervous to visit locations like this) took a trip to the dog park!

The visit began as it normally does, with Koko, um, having to go potty urgently upon arrival and Madden announcing our arrival. (BARK BARK BARK WE'RE HERE, THE DOGS ON PROPPS, YOU'VE READ ABOUT US ONLINE AND NOW WE'RE HERE)

The trip was far better than the last, as Madden mellowed out pretty quickly and found other dogs to chase, Holly ran around and got tired quickly, but Koko was picked on by a springer spaniel named Max. (We'll see you next time, Max, and you'd better bring reinforcements)

Koko says, "If you see that dog Max, you tell him he's a punk. I'll kick his butt."

The star of the dog park this time, though, was Paolo. Visitors to the dog park were curious about his breed, and wanted to know about how dogs like him behave. (They bark a lot, in case you wondered, and they have horrible breath. Other than that, good dog investment.) He was a hit with the other dogs, and was involved in a rousing game of chase, and had dogs gathered around him at one point, waiting to see what he would do. (He was hoping to sign autographs though no one ever asked for one.)

After a half hour, the Dogs on Propps time limit for attending any event, we packed up and headed home with four tired, hot, very happy dogs. (see evidence below)Madden didn't even make it home before he fell asleep.

...and the living is easy.

We are back! After a long hiatus, (that included remodeling, a high school graduation, and a lovely wedding), Dogs on Propps are back.

This summer, we have dedicated ourselves to: running, hiking, walking about the neighborhood, barking at other dogs who walk by, killing birds (ahem...Sammie), wrestling with Holly, being protective of the humans, and sleeping late. We have not gotten to take a trip to the dog park yet, as the upright walkers still have not recovered from the last jaunt there.

It's good to be back - now you can follow us on Twitter!
