Dog Park and Dog Wash

August 26th, 2009 by Mom

I took both kids to the dog park for the first time a few weeks ago.  When we first got Molly we would go often but that changed as soon as we had Grace and Cole.  I think I was a little hesitant because I didn’t want the kids to get jumped on by dogs.  But we were tired of the same old park so I decided to take them to the dog park.  It was a nice treat for Molly.

Grace was ready to play chuck-it with Molly.  It’s Molly’s favorite.

Cole really liked the open space.

We played chuck-it for a while before Grace got freaked out by a rambunctious dog.  Was it that huge great dane you ask?

Nope.  It was a little pug (sorry no photo).  He just wanted to say hello and jumped on Grace but she freaked and started running full speed.  The little guy followed of course and that just added fuel to Grace’s fear.  After that we left to another park.  A kid park.  Much better.

Look at me Mom!

Before our trip to San Diego we gave Molly a nice bath.  We usually take her to the local pet store that has a tall tub for dogs but I ran out of time so we washed her out back.  Grace and Cole were my assistants and they were ready to help in their bathing suits.  First step get a hold of Molly before she catches on that’s she getting a bath and runs off. 

Next, rinse and lather shampoo. 

Rinse out shampoo and add conditioner.

Finally a towel dry.

All clean Molly!  It takes her all day to air dry but at least she smells great.
