Sunrise At Pawm Springs

I feel as though I have been neglecting my canine family since my father's been living with me.

So I packed up the the pooches and my father and went to the Pawm Springs Dog Park located in the Sugar Land Memorial Park. I tried to round them all up and get there by sunrise for we are still having quite warm days in the mid 90's and not very cool evenings.

Lucy and Sable are definitely slowing down as they age and getting arthritic in their hips. It doesn't help that my father is constantly feeding them something. I feel bad scolding him but damn. They were already overweight before he came to live with me.

At any rate, they seem to have a good time. Lucy and Sable love the water and Joe stayed close by for a change. But there's a reason for that.

No other dogs were at the park for Joe to chase. I thought that strange especially as it got later and later. Well, I soon learned why. I realized Sable's collar came off when time to leave and attempted to put her leash on. I manage to get them and my dad loaded up and told myself I would just go back later and look for it. When I did go back the gates were locked and I noticed signs saying the park is closed on Monday for maintenance. So that's why no other dogs showed up and that's why city of Sugar Land trucks kept coming and circling the park while we were there. We got there before they did to lock the gates. Well, I'm glad I didn't see the sign for I would have been really PISSED if after all the effort to get there we had to turn around and come back home.

My father didn't seem to care much one way or the other about the park. He's willing to go but he reserves the right to take a nap while there. I guess that's okay when you're 97.

We hope you have a great week!
