This is what Teagan does at the dog park. She chases tennis balls. For 45 minutes, she chases tennis balls.
This is how she looks when you're about to throw the ball. Isn't she cute?
And this is what Keeley does at the dog park. He walks around sniffing things and peeing on things.
I'm not kidding. He pees on benches while people are sitting on them. He pees on trees, fences, clumps of grass, toys, posts, old dog poop, etc. He pees on other dogs if they're not careful about where they're putting their heads. He pees on water dishes. If someone sets their bag down, he'll pee on that too. Well, to each their own I suppose. Maybe peeing on things makes him happy. I don't know.
They are 2 very different dogs with their own agendas.
After Keeley is done sniffing and peeing, then he makes the rounds and gets petted by every human at the dog park. He's so freakin' charming that they usually give him treats too!
The whole time Teagan is still just chasing tennis balls. I tried to teach Keeley to fetch when he was younger and if I tried really hard I could get him to do it like 3 times in a row before he walked off and ignored me. Now I just let him do his thing. I'm too busy throwing balls for Teagan now and Keeley really seems to enjoy his independence too.
After he's done sniffing, peeing, and making the rounds, then he just watches things for a while.
Teagan chases tennis balls. But she won't chase just any ball. It has to be one that's thrown by me or her grandma. Sometimes someone else will try to throw one for her but she doesn't even budge for it.
I always thought it would be cool to have a dog that fetched. It's certainly one of the coolest things about Teagan. And she's so tired afterwards.
Before we leave the park, she drinks a bunch of water and then goes right to sleep once she gets in the car.

We are guessing the hoomans don't mind you peeing on their bench or their possessions, Keeley! They love you anyway!
You should try out for the Cubs, Teagan! We bet they could use another great ball player!
