Dog Park

Yesterday, (Sunday) was really fun! I met Valerie, Hans, and their friends Jessica & Byron at the Hanover County Dog Park. What a nice place it was! It even had a separate area for my dog Sam, (who can't be in the regular area because he is too dog aggressive). I was a little bit worried at first about my little Maltipoo, Alex, because most of the other dogs were so much bigger, but Alex charged in there as though he owned the place and before long he had a whole pack of dogs following him, wanting to play. I really wish that I had brought my camera along so that I could show pictures of it, but I didn't, so that's the way it goes.

My German Shepherd, Kyla, was much more watchful. She was excited when she saw all of the other dogs, but for about the first 30 minutes she just stayed near us and checked out the place. Eventually she started running and playing too.

Afterwards we met at Barnes & Noble for a parting meal before Valerie and Hans hit the road to go back to North Carolina. Hans is off today (Monday) and I was SO GLAD that he was able to go down there with Valerie as I hate the thought of her driving by herself at night. I know that I drive at night all the time, but I am 59 years old, and therefore somewhat safer from predators who like to prey on young girls. Now is that sounding like a Mom or what? But it IS a more dangerous world out there for sweet, young things than it is for old hags like me.

Hans will be driving back to Richmond tonight and so Valerie will be without a car on Tuesday & Wednesday. But since Hans is also off on Friday, he will be driving back down to NC on Thursday night and will be able to drive home with Valerie this coming weekend.
