An Alarm Clock Named Joe

 It starts with a menacing stare and slight growl.

 Then the growl becomes louder and a bit threatening.

Eventually, it becomes  "get your ass out of bed it's Sunday" barking.

Millie Bush Bark Park At The Break Of Day

Got to the park a little earlier than I had planned this past Sunday. I made all the lights on Hwy 6 which is unusual for me at any time of day.

Thankfully the parking lot and park was unlocked so I didn't have to sit in my truck with three overly excited dogs.

It was a gorgeous morning and sunrise with the humidity lower than it has been in months. My girls, Lucy and Sable, couldn't wait to get in the water. However, just as before, my father's dog, Joe, was out running the other dogs and meeting the other people.

Lucy and Sable had the main pond to themselves for the first twenty minutes or so.

They love playing ball and as always Sable has been limping a bit since Sunday due to all the fun she had.

Joe would come back around to us a few times but basically ignored us. How rude Joe! He had a great time as well.

Even Joe was zonked for the 15 mile drive back home.

It was all Sable could do to stay awake while Lucy slept under foot behind the seat. Ahhhh such is a dog's life.
