Ridgeback Play Date

From Amanda,

I had to share some pics of the boys from yesterday. We went to the local park where so many dog owners use the baseball fields as a dog park. The city (Pensacola) is supposed to be building a dog park in the area but have not YET broken ground- no one is holding their breath!

Anyway here is Logan and Roadie who have become the best of friends. Not sure who initiates the play but this is the typical game.



One poses the question, "do you wanna play?" with a play bow. The other answers, "Of course I do!" w/ a jump slap. Then the boxing begins. They do this for a few moments until one breaks free and runs off- looking back as if to say, "Catch me if you can."


Logan is finally finding his place in the pack. He has really gotten better w. his recall. Yesterday at the park there were about 6 dogs all running around- I called him to come and he started to run toward me when another tried to play with him- he ran around that dog to get to me to sit in front of me. His trainer worked very hard w. me to master that skill. He is a great boy and we are getting CGC'd soon. And for Roadie- we have sent his paperwork off to Therapy Dog International for consideration as a therapy dog- he passed the test with flying colors so hopefully they'll see what a great dog he is!

Harley (my sister's Ridgeback) is here this weekend for a visit. The kids are having a blast- makes me want to get another one- a girl! I am outnumbered here :)
