Tired Pooka

I win!

I took Pooka to Magnussen dog park yesterday to play with Oona's Olli (so far, the best match for P.'s endless desire to run and run and run). The highlight reel includes a moment where Pooka was trying to get the attention of this big Rottweiler who was chasing rocks his owner was throwing into the lake. Rottie would take off running into the water, swim/wade back, and wait for owner to repeat. Pooka would wait in ankle-deep water for him to come back and then try to entice him to play. When it became clear Rottie was only interested in the rock game, Pooka made it more fun for herself by hiding behind a big rock and waiting for Rottie to return, then pouncing. Very sneaky!

My reward for all the time outside this weekend: one tired dog. I had to rouse her from the dog bed this morning at 6 for our first walk of the day. There's hope.
