Mag got her final shots this last week, so we got her
DuPage County permits and headed off for our local dog park. 'Dolon nearly exploded in the car on the way there -- he's been in withdrawal for the last several weeks while he's been grounded with the new puppy.
Mag was a little more timid than we thought she would be, considering how assertive she's been at our house. She still did fine. On Saturday mornings there are tons of dogs at the park, and they all came by the bench we set up camp at to greet Mag. Above you can see her tucking her ears and tail in while she lets the giant Pete sniff her.
From the safety of the bench Mag had herself a good time. She was mostly shy with the other dogs, and eating up the attention all the dog owners pay to puppies. Meanwhile, 'Dolon was off ignoring us, busy with his normal water deprivation and humping activities.
When Mag had enough, she actually came up into my lap, something she never does at home.
We stayed for almost two hours, at the end of which both dogs were exhausted. 'Dolon wasn't good for anything but shoving his entire head in somebody else's bucket of water.
There was no bouncing around in the car on the way back home, just lots and lots of panting. We all had fun, but I think it will be a while before we're comfortable enough to take both disobedient doggies there without both humans along to chase after them.
