Today was the first day in (what feels like) a dog's age that it was not negative 25 degrees Celcius so we headed to the park in the warmest part of the afternoon. The park was teeming with dogs and kids dressed as Michelin men who were sledding down a rather large hill at break neck speeds with dogs in hot pursuit.
I outfitted Leeloo in Halo's winter coat and I think she appreciated the added warmth. Her hair is still a soft puppy coat so it doesn't offer the same protection as an adult coat. Or she's just a princess sissy like Halo.
Off they go with glee and abandon. Leeloo tried her very best to keep up but Raimi was too full of beans to slow down for her.
Ears! Eyes! The coat seemed to fit quite well once I tightened the strap and she had no trouble running amuck.
Come ON Mom ... catch up already! Raimi never noticed the cold I'm sure since he spent most of his time running from tree to bush marking the park with his sign posts.
The rest of the time he was doing silly things like this when the other dog would be enticed to play.
Leeloo got in on the action once or twice but she tends to back down right away if the other dog gets too boisterous.
Apparently Pugs are a deeply suspect breed of dog. We will have to introduce her to Deuce, I'm quite sure she will be won over in no time.
Raimi takes a moment to allow the park to bask in his handsomeness. He often stops to survey his domain and once something interesting catches his eye he bounds after it ... shattering the regal illusion.
Up the path they careen hardly taking notice of obstacles. People move out of Raimi's way because of his size so he rarely hits anyone. Leeloo just mashes into legs and is instantly forgiven when they see her darling face.
Trekking homeward. She remained very cheerful for much of the walk. It was close to the end when she decided that she'd had enough and was ready show the way to the truck - very Petal-like of her!
