The last 2 days we were at the dog beach.
Today we went to the dog park!
For Millaii and Anko, it was their first time to be at the dog park!!.....only.....well, it was raining. And there was nobody in the park....
We have just had the record high temperature of 113 degrees here in SoCal. That was only last week.
And now it is COLD!
Today it was already heavily overcast in the morning.
I was very easy about it thinking "Great! It's going to be a cool day! Maybe we can play at the dog park"
As the morning progressed and by the time I had finished dropping the kids off at school, it had started drizzling.
Well....drizzle is fine. We can still play.
We took off to the park. Excited and happy to just think about the fun time we can have there.
By the time we got there, it had started RAINING. Officially.
There was nobody in the dog park, or even in the whole park.
We only saw some cleaning workers who looked at us in a strange way as if they were thinking "What is that crazy woman doing in the park with 3 dogs... in the rain???"
I won't blame them.
I pushed ahead. We entered the dog park area and tried to play in the wet and empty grassed area.
The dogs seemed interested at first, then gradually realized everything was wet, and wanted to get out of there, out of the rain.
I won't blame them.
Although the rain had gotten lighter by then, it didn't seem like we could have any fun even if we had stayed there longer.
I decided to walk around the park instead. 3 dogs at once - something I had never done before.
They are all good walkers. Millaii and Anko, who had never been walked before they came to me, have learned how to walk with a person very quickly, and they both look forward to the walk every day.
But walking 3 at once is another story. They get excited and competitive. They may pull in different directions.
So I had been reluctant or not brave enough to do that before.
Well, if it doesn't work we'll go home, and walk separately...I thought.
We started walking together.
Amazingly, they are doing very well!
Keeping a slow pace, and very calm.
I was very happy to see them that way.
We walked around the park for about 40 mins, then got back in the car.
We were all wet and tired, especially me....but hey, we've proved they can walk together! Beautiful!
Worth the wet and dirty car seats!
I will definitely bring them back to the park when it's a better weather.
It's much quieter in this area than our neighborhood. Maybe I will make this a routine and come here everyday.
=================================================
ANKO and MILLAII are up for adoption. They need new homes.
I am fostering them until they can find nice new owners.
They are current with their shots.
Millaii will be spayed on 10/13. Anko will be spayed sometime in November.
ANKO (7-8 months old, Female)
Millaii (about 2 years old, Female)
Please e-mail me if you are interested in either Millaii or Anko (or both), or if you have questions, or if you know of anybody who may be interested in them. We live in Cypress, California. 15 mins from Disneyland.
You can foster her for a few days to see if she is a good fit for your family. I will always take her back if you decided she is not the right pet for you.
