Perfect Dog Day Afternoon

I spent the entire afternoon playing with the pooches.  What fun!  First, it was off to Magnolia, where I needed to go to the drug store.  But first....

We headed to Discovery Park.  Abbey and I used to walk to the Bluff all the time when I lived a few blocks away.  She started to stamp her little feet in excitement the closer we got to the park.

Dudley had never been there before, so he was just excited that Abbey was excited.

It was such a beautiful day for a walk.  We went all over the bluff, stopping in the tall grass to rest.  (Abbey can't go as far as she used to....and neither can her mommy!)

Then I ran my errands in Magnolia, and stopped at my favorite Greek take-out place for a halibut gyro.  YUM!

When the pooches and I took off again, I thought, maybe a ferryboat ride.  But the dogs had other ideas.

Dudley, the sneaky 'lil cuss, somehow managed to bind my wrists and ankles with the leashes, and Abbey got behind the steering wheel.   After I was shoved to the back seat, Dudley stood on the pedals.  I didn't even know they could drive!

We ended up at Westcrest Park in West Seattle.  I was untied, and we made it to the off-leash area for yet another romp!  This time Abbey made fast friends with an extremely UN-altered male basset hound.  Dudley played with a sheltie, a Westie and a yellow lab.

We made it home shortly before 7.

We're tired!
