Sunday afternoon, Prairie and I went over to visit Prairie’s sister and her boyfriend to visit, celebrate Prairie’s birthday, and visit their new puppy, Loodie.
We ended up heading out to Magnuson Park and letting Loodie romp around at the dog off-leash area at the park, a huge (nine acre) fenced-in area for dogs to run wild and play.
While I’ve never been a huge dog person — much more of a cat person, in fact — I’ve got to admit that the day was a lot of fun. Loodie’s a really cute puppy, and she found quite a few friends to roughhouse with.
On our way back towards the car, this golden retriever decided that it wanted to be my friend (to the point of nearly knocking me over a couple of times). Prairie grabbed the camera, and these pictures stand as evidence that while dogs may not be my favorite critters on the planet…well, they’re not all bad.
