Today we took Jasper for a we-still-love-you-even-if-the-puppy-is-the-cutest-thing-ever outing to the new dog park today. He thoroughly enjoyed himself for about twenty minutes, running, playing, and chasing the other dogs. After that, he abandoned all his new friends and found a tiny sliver of shade behind a chair, flopped himself down on his side, and tried to recover from all of the excitement.
While Griffin and I kept Jasper company (and watched to make sure that he didn't suffer from a doggie coronary), Avery and Rhys wandered the park and introduced themselves to lots of dogs. After Jasper had recovered enough to get back on four legs, we went to check up on the kiddos. It turns out that Avery was busy challenging herself by hurdling the dog agility jumps. Another dog owner came up to me and told me that she thought Avery might have a future in track. I think she might be right! Avery was hurdling over jumps that were chest high. Wow. Now I guess I need to see if I can locate a homeschool-friendly track program!
