Columbia, Missouri, dog park

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Boston terriers. I had one when I was a senior in high school, dear Bridget, and scamp that I was I went off away from home and left her with my mother, who had no admiration for the dog. She ended up going back to the breeder. I try to be a better caretaker these days. Anyway, I admire these dogs. This one was pretty bold, and even though it looks like he’s about to be overwhelmed by a bigger dog, he ended up chewing on his stick without interference.

With a little help from Photoshop…

Jig can usually be counted on to be entertaining, but the starkness of the original photo brought special effects to mind. So here is Jig, altered slightly using a Photoship filter.

What a beautiful park this is! Part of the local Parks & Recreation facilities, the park is many acres of chain link-fenced lawn and woods, with access to a large lake. We’ll certainly be visiting this again before we leave.

Genie, dog park

On her second birthday Genie had her first visit to a dog park. This is the ultimate of dog parks, in my opinion, though it was also my first visit to a dog park. All the dogs we encountered were happy and well socialized with other dogs. The park is beautiful! Genie, who’s very happy never to see a lake, was quite content doing all the running and sniffing she could do.
