This afternoon we took a trip to Minooka. When Teagan was younger we always went into the small dog area because she needed socialization but was scared of any dog that was bigger than her.
She's still timid around dogs that are bigger than her and she always sticks close to me at the dog park. But overall, she's doing much better with other dogs so now we go into the big dog area.
Keeley just loves going to Minooka. He starts whining in the car as soon as we get close to the park.
I hate standing around and not doing anything at the dog park. When we go to Minooka now, the dogs and I walk around the perimeter several times. For me it makes the time go by a lot faster. And it's a good way to make sure my dogs are moving the whole time instead of just standing around sniffing butts.
Doggie daycare must be paying off because now Teagan is more able to make friends with other dogs.
It makes me so happy when I see she's made a friend.
Still most of the time she's totally focused on Keeley.
I take the dogs on a little path through some trees and when we come out into the field, then I tell them to "find mama". They are so happy when they spot their grandma and they go running to her.
I'm very pleased when they come when I call them.
Some how they can run and play bitey face at the same time.
Check out that ear action!
It's been about 40 minutes and Keeley is looking tired. It must be time to go home. The dogs are sleeping here in the computer room with me while I'm blogging now. This was a great trip to Minooka.
