The first thing we went and did today, was goto a newish dog park that's about 20-30 minutes away from my house (its the closest one to me). The only time Stryder has ever played with another dog, was a couple weeks ago at my friends Pauls place with his Aussie, Kuma. Well... he tried playing a bit when we did puppy class... but it's not the same.

So anyways... we get to the dogpark... and Kiba does what she normally does... kinda hangs out with all the people. But STRYDER! OMG I was so proud of my little boy. He was going up to all the other big doggies... and bowing and hoping around... being chased and chasing the other dogs. There was another Schnauzer named Henry, a Bernese MT dog named Sophia, a English Springer named Mosely, and Lab mix named Duncan, two goldens named Maggie and Daisy, two black labs (didnt get their name.. the owner was antisocial).. and a wheaten Bouvier named Max. Stryder especially liked the Bouvier... the guy was laying down on a wood chip pile and Stryder was attacking his head. LMAO.

It was getting cold, and Kiba was beat, and so was Stryder.. so we left for the mall. I went into Target and got them different costumes. Afterwards we went to Petsmart.

Stryder was being a dope and barking alot... but was kinda quieting down towards the end (he was barking at all the kids whom neither dog it that familiar with). I took them in, and had the groomers cut their nails and defur their ears. They even got cute little bandanas!!

I hope to hit the dog park a couple times a week... probably earlier in the day when it's less windy and a bit warmer (or just dress better). Again, VERY VERY VERY proud of my boy... and Kiba did good too.
