Because I Haven't Written About Him Lately

Thursday, we took Chester to a new dog park in Irving. It was semi-cool in the morning so Cary thought Chester deserved to get out and stretch his legs a little.

There are 4 fields to this dog park--2 for large dogs, 2 for small ones (under 25 pounds). A couple of times a week, 2 of each of the fields are sopping wet, while the other 2 are dry. Don't know why, but we decided to have Chester go to the small dog field that was soaked in water this time. Maybe it was because in the dry small dog field, there were 2 other dogs, and we wanted to make sure he felt comfortable in this setting before going to the other. Either way, it was a 'smart' decision...



He seemed to have a great time. The fields are so nice, wet or not, and we even found leftover tennis balls to throw for him. He even decided to sniff things out a little, making his dad retrieve the tennis ball for the next game of fetch.



Unfortunately we were not out for very long due to the evil Texas summer, but I would love to take him back out so that he can interact with other dogs, as well as get some needed running and exercise!
