Our Puppy - Leaves, Squirrels , and Crows OH MY!


Today we went for a long family walk in the park! It was a nice fall day. The sky was blue, the leaves filled the ground and the park was full of laughing children. The park has become Braylee's favorite "hot spot". She loves to see the playing children and other dogs. But today there where other interesting things on the move.

The leaves have begun to fall here. Braylee loves to grab everyone she can and carry it in her mouth like she has one the best prize; till the next one comes along. We played smell and grab the leaf for awhile till a fuzzy little squirrel scattered by.

Braylee had the perfect size animal to play chase with. Braylee ran as fast as she could after the fluffy tailed squirrel with such joy. I grasped her leash and she zoomed this way and that. Right to a tall pine tree. The squirrel zoomed up and Braylee circled the trunk confused on where the squirrel had gone. The squirrel stared down from the tree in victory.

I passed the leash to Dylan and we walked through the empty soccer field. All was calm till the crow family moved. Braylee once again thinking everyone/thing wants to play, ran full speed to the center of the field after the black birds. Dylan holding on to her was not far behind. This time the "new found friend" flew away. Braylee on her hind legs looking above her looked as though she too wanted to take flight!

Just then rain began to fall. It was time to head home. Even though Braylee made no new friends. She was one happy dog and came home to take a nap!
