    Hey, everyone! Man, I've been asleep this whole time! I came home, hung out a bit, turned on the comp, and, fell asleep. Finn physically and mentally wore me out, and, of course, over six hours in the car, and, several hours in the sun, too, will do that. Now that it's 3:40 am, I'm wide awake.

    anyway, I had a great time! Mary and I did have an interesting time meeting up in the morning, but, we did, and, that's all that matters. The ride up there was fine, a little rain and a couple of u-turns, and, we were there. But, it was beautiful at the park, we were very fortunate.

    First off, Finn has been going to dog parks since he was old enough to go (about 4 months old), and, the last one he went to was in Dallas back in late March. So, he's basically a "pro" at it. Well, I just knew he was getting to that age where he may not love every single dog anymore. And, sure enough, yesterday was the proof that he's finally become a M.A.N. And, don't ask what the acronym stands for, because it doesn't stand for anything. Except for Finn acting like a jerk to almost every single unaltered male that came up to him. And, there were some really pushy dogs. Anyway, he stayed on his leash for the most part, and, there were no fights or anything. I could have been jumping the gun a bit, and he might have just been giving warning growls all day, but, still....I wasn't going to chance it. Thank goodness he's getting neutered in a a couple of weeks. I really hope that it stops this little testerone party he's throwing, because I didn't really enjoy it.

    But, we all came away from it unscathed. He didn't get to really run like he would have liked to, but, again, I wasn't chancing it. There were many unaltered males around. He and Skye got along really well. They were very sweet together. And, Samson and Scruffy tolerated him. I think Scruffy growled at him once, and, it was because Finn was sniffing his unmentionables, he deserved a little growl.

    Our little group liked eachother, though, and, that's what's important. Like Judy said, almost the minute Mary left, we were like, oh my gosh, we didn't get a group shot! And, then, even after saying that, we didn't get a shot of Judy and I! I'm bummed about that, but, I'll survive.

    Finn still managed to drag me across the grass once (trying to get to the goofy cuz toy - thank you, by the way, judy, he had it in his mouth the entire ride home, when he wasn't sleeping). He still got into the lake a little, and, as you can see in Judy's pictures, he's a jumper!

    I'll shut up now, and, post the few I have.....

    Judy and her brother are very cool! We went to Sonic afterwards (Aly, her boyfriend, and I did that in Texas, too, when we met) for a treat. I'm so glad we were all able to meet and everyone got along, and, it was such a beautiful day! Skye is so pretty. I've always loved great danes, and, always wanted one. She is my favorite color, too. She and Finn didn't really play a lot, but, they were cute together. It might have been different if Finn hadn't been so hellbent on proving himself to all the dogs that ran up to him. Ugh. But, anyway.....here's pretty Skye....

    Samson and Scruffy were too sweet. They made up for Finn's lack of social skills. Seriously, though, Mary and her boys were just so nice, I'm so grateful to have met them all, and, hopefully, will get to see them again soon!

    He's getting up from a sit, and, turning around, that's why he looks odd.

    and, now, for mr. macho.







    and, here's what macho dogs play with.



    compliments of skye and judy, finn loved the cuz. of course, the squeaker didn't even last the dog park, but, that's ok, it was LOUD!











    that's all for now. i wasn't able to get very good ones, or very many, because i really just wanted to keep finn on his leash and he's so active, that's not always an easy thing. he is really a sweet boy, and, i love him. i can't blame him for acting that way, but, it does hurt, and, it's my fault for not getting him neutered sooner. i hope it's not too late to change his 'tude.

    the day was a success, though, and, i hope we can all get together again soon (and logan, too, i know i felt your absence!).

    I know! I hope when we're back in Texas (hopefully next month for a visit), that we can get together! He has grown, but, he still has a lot of growing UP to do. ha ha.

    Hey, thanks! Well, for everything, except the snatching him part. Just joking, he is a "character" to say the least. I'm pretty much in love, too, he's easy to like. Unless you're an unaltered male dog. He slept the whole way home, and, I got a couple of him in the car, but, I need to try and sleep (yeah, right), now.....talk to you all later!

    I only got a few pictures, since I had to leave a little early.







    I really enjoyed meeting the dogs and humans. The weather turned out great and the park is wonderful. Unfortunately, there were a few dogs that wanted to cause trouble so we had to watch ours carefully.

    Finn is an exuberant dog. He had a blast in the lake. Sweet and friendly and full of energy.

    Skye is beautiful. It's hard to realize she's only 4 months old. Very laid back.

    Samson spent some time wading in the lake, getting his tummy wet. He and Scruffy mostly sniffed around and stuck by me. Not real sociable. They had a couple of growling sessions with new dogs that invaded their personal space. I think they were pretty pooped by the time we got home. Samson fell off the back seat once on the way home; Scruffy didn't sleep until bedtime .

    Samson must have been exhausted 'cause he didn't even chase the cat last night!

    The dog park is really great. A separate fenced area for smaller dogs, a lake, a beach, an island, benches and picnic tables, (one with a shelter) and lots of room. Even a Port-a-potty.

    Gotta do it again.

    Definitely! I'm so glad we all got together! I went and edited how I spelled Samson's name...I was spelling with a "p" in the middle.

    Well all in all it sounds like you had a pretty good time at the park, too bad we couldn't have been there...but then again Bon and Finn probably wouldn't have gotten along (he's unaltered right now too). LOL!

    Thanks for the pictures, I really enjoyed seeing them and hearing all about your day!

    Unfortunately, they probably wouldn't have. But, Skye isn't spayed, and, Finn didn't even once try anything funny with her. I think if they're younger, it isn't as much of a problem. I don't know, though, I just hope that getting him neutered at the end of the month will change it back to the way it used to be, where he was never growly.

    Hey, Judy! Finn's already chewed off the cuz's feet! So, it's just a white squeeze ball, now, that doesn't make noise. Thanks, though, again....he loves it!

    hehe! What a monster! Guess it won't make a very good lake toy after all! Oh, and we forgot to check on your toy before we left! I can't believe it was "stolen" from you! Ugh! You'll never come to my dog park again! hehehe Oh, and by the way...



    You seemed to have caught the most priceless faces of mine! hahahahaha! NOT!! Finn must be saying "What the @#$^$# is she talking about!" hehehe
