I finally got my courage up and took Bijou to our local dog park, a wonderful little 12-acre fenced-in park just a couple of miles from my house...it was such fun! She loved everything about it, and I was more relaxed than I thought I would be, once we got through the gate :) I didn't take any pictures of the puppers she met (and she did beautifully with the six or eight dogs that came over to say hello to her, I was soooo proud of my collie girl!) since it was our first time and I didn't want to scare anybody off, but I did take some of Bijou enjoying herself:
Here she is, already "sniff-happy" just inside the gate!

She finally got the hang of things -- she was free!

She loved everything from the wild flowers to the prairie grass!

"Hurry up, mum, you walk too slow!"

Look at that tongue! It was a scorcher here today!

I just loved seeing her stand so straight and tall -- she looked so happy!

She's at the base of a little hill...just about ready to run her mad-dash circles!

Go, Bijou, go!

Thanks for looking -- I'm so happy we finally went! We'll definitely have to go back very soon... :)
