Mommy, May I Pleeeeze Have a Pony?

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

We were at the dog park today (after practicing sit, down, stay and come) for some down time. Harlow was ‘chilling out’ with the other dogs when a ‘Shetland Pony’ joined the pack. Lola is a 10 month old, all legs and slobber, beautiful, HUGE harlequin Great Dane. Lola took an immediate interest in Harlow as she was one of the few dogs in the park fast enough to keep up with her ground swallowing strides. The girls ran around and around the park, sometimes bowling over the other dogs attempting to keep up. Harlow had a blast. When we came home from the park Harlow crashed and slept for a couple hours.

Neely and my sisters dog a viszla met at our dog park and hit it right off. Man can that dog run! They played and ran and fetched forever. Then they came to a ball park with her and Neely dragged me out of my lawn chair trying to get to her to play. He had been there for awhile with other dogs and kids walking around and never reacted like that before. The remembered each other even before they were close enough to sniff each other. The last time my sister was here with Honey her and Neely ran around our big round picnic table for so long my sister finally went and got the video camara and took videos. Usually if you wanted a picture they quit doing it right before that.

We had a little dane at puppy kindergarten. I never saw a puppy one before and I couldn't believe that it would grow up to be a dane. It looked more like a hound of some sort and very proportioned. After the 8 wk mark of class it was just starting to look like a dane. It's head started to get bigger, he still had big floppy ears too. Then he started getting bigger and bigger with longer and longer legs with his paws getting bigger. It had a brother puppy too. A pomeranian! It was a bossy little thing. It spent most of puppy school under the chairs or showing off its lessons. He was definatley the boss out of that pair!!

LOL...it is such fun to see dogs really play nicely together and work all the energy out. Sounds like Harlow had an enjoyable trip to the dog park and got to meet some amazing new friends.

I thought you were saying there really was a pony at the park. I was going to say that beats the goat that I saw at our dog park. Don't you just love when they find another dog they can tear around with.
