Playing with the Goldens Picture Post
This is Henry, jumping up on my leg. I don't really know him, other than that he adopted me at our favorite dog park yesterday. Actually, he just wanted some of Cabana's liver treats. But regardless, isn't he the most adorable fellow? He looks almost like a toy! 
But we didn't go to the dog park to meet Henry. We had a playdate with blog friends Golden Samantha and Sierra Rose! This was our first person-to-person meeting, but I hope it won't be our last.
Our dogs had a great time with each other, but Cabana was a social butterfly. I don't think she's ever met a dog she didn't like (although some may not have liked her). Here she's in the wading pool with Murphy, a yellow Lab that looked so similar to Cabana that I could only tell them apart by Cabana's black collar.
Of course, Cabana had to thrash about in the big mud puddle. WHY is no one surprised?
But Samantha and Sierra Rose enjoyed the mud, too, so what's a doggy mom gonna do?
The doggy moms are gonna encourage their dogs to get into the wading pool...although I'd hardly say that brown water made anyone "clean".
Samantha and Sierra Rose got hosed down--but the mud stuck to their coats a lot more firmly than to Cabana's (oh, the blessing of Labs' short coats). After our playdate, they were marched directly to the dog bathing salon at Pet Food Express, where it took 45 minutes to get them clean!
Humans and dogs all had a great time, although I'm not sure what was so funny when this photo was taken. And look, there's another beagle, trying to get Sierra's treats--those moochy beagles! Thank you for playing with Cabana, Sierra and Samantha! It was a fantastic morning!
