From the Wife:

MUST LOVE DOGS

Our dear friend Lamb Chop, has been doing us the favor of taking our dog to the dog park on days that I have class in the evening. Load late so days that I have class would mean the dog would be locked up with out exercise for 12 plus hours and we would come home to an extremely frustrated and hyper puppy. Everyone’s heard of the repercussions of this with the blog about the couch incident.
Anyhow, it seems Lamb Chop has figured out a way to work this obligation to her favor. Lamb Chop and Megs were at the park with my dog and noticed a young man in a suite talking on a cell phone with no dog of his own in sight. Curious about this, Megs and Lamb Chop begin discussing the possibilities that perhaps he is just there to try to impress chicks, a popular dog park misconception. To test this theory, they make a Hollywood attempt to catch this guy’s attention. Using my dog as bait, they throw the ball towards the young man. Now, a little back ground on my dog’s ball playing abilities. She is the most ungraceful ball player in history. Throw the ball, she’ll scamper, scamper, scamper after it until the ball comes to a slow stop, then unable to slow herself down she will run past it about 10 feet and then run back to retrieve it, if another dog had not done so already. With that said, after Lamb Chop threw the ball towards this young man, my dog slides past the ball with her usual M.O. only this time sliding into the man like he were the catcher blocking home plate. I’m afraid Lamb Chop and Megs preceding laughter mixed with apologies did nothing to open the door of conversation.
