A Walk in the Park

Last week we went to the dog park.  Well, its kind of a dog park.  Its fenced in at least.  There is a big grassy field at one end and an old track at the other end. The dogs seriously needed to get out and run around, otherwise I would have gagged them and stuffed them in Gargoyle's room. We had fun at the park just running around.  After Bruce and the dogs got tired of running around in the grass they headed to the track.  The dogs are still wearing their leashes for good reason.  Last time we went Bella weaseled her way underneath the fence and started to take off! So we learned to keep the leashes on so that, if worse comes to worst, we can just step on the leash and stop the dog from running away. Bruce loves it when the dogs have leashes on. He can walk them that way.  Most of the time we don't let Bruce walk Bella because she pulls too hard and gets loose from him, so getting to walk her in the dog park was a fun treat.

Ok, the truth is that Bella really does the walking.  Bruce does the chasing. Sorry the videos aren't great.  Considering the fact that it was very sunny outside and I couldn't even see the screen, its decent. 

Before we could go to the park, we had to put clothes on.  Sometimes that doesn't work so well.  I'm a cruel, cruel aunt to just let him struggle like that :)

At the far end of the park there are these plants, I think they might be cat tails? I don't really know.  All I know is that they fit very well in Bruce's hand.  I got an idea from pinterest to make our own paint brushes.  I thought it would be good since Bruce is kind of hard on them.  So we used the top of those plants and hot glued some of the plants weeds out front to the top.  The picture looks awful, and it definitely does not look like that kind of plant anymore.  In real life it did not look innapropriate.  Unfortunately, I didn't do a great job with bristle selection and the brush was hard to use.  I have two more tops of the cat tail thingys so we can try again soon. 

After the park it was bath time.  Bruce keeps messing with the dog's water, throwing food in, etc.  I realized he probably just thinks pouring is cool.  So we gave him some bath toys he hasn't played with before.  I had a hard time getting him out of the bath!

Sending our love <3
