Unfortunately, our visits to "Willow's house" are not as frequent as Eda would like being that we live over a thousand miles away. In the time between our visits to Minnesota, Eda "settles" for trips to Bear Creek Dog park, Colorado's dog paradise.
Come with us on our adventure:
When we get to the park, Eda dances around the backseat as if it is taking us hours to let her out of the car. She cannot contain her excitement.
Then Eda and the other dogs "greet" each other. Aka, sniff butts. Pleasant...
Eda usually finds a pack to run with...
...until she finds a critter to hunt. Then we play a less fun version of Where's Waldo and get some exercise following her around.
Once Eda is satisfied by the day's hunt, she finds some pups to chase her.
This is usually when people at the park ask me, "How old is your dog?"
I say, "Oh she just turned a year."
And they say, "Yeah, you can really tell."
To which I say, "haha thanks?"...
The chasing game makes them all hot and thirsty. Good think dog paradise is equipped with a creek!
As you can see, Eda loves to find golden retrievers to play with.
We are convinced they remind her of Willow.
When it's time to go, we put Eda on her leash for her "walk of shame."
She (and all the other huskies) have to be walked to the exit on lead as they would stay until THEY decide it's time to go ;)
When we see other husky owners taking their dogs away on the leash, we nod and smile. We know.
After leaving the park, we go to the soccer field down the block where Eda rolls in the wonderfully lush grass. It's gets some of the mud off her before we put her in the car. Eda loves this part because lets face it, I'm not the best at tending to the lawn here at home.
Homeward bound.
So tired. Great success.
