This morning Elise and I went to the dog park.  There weren't any other dogs there so we played "fetch" for a while.  Then we decided to go for a walk around the whole park itself.  It has trails through the trees and ducks that I really wanted to chase.  I managed to carry this chewed up ball I found with me the whole time.  By the time we got home, I just grabbed the ball out of the car, ran to our front door and laid down.  I needed a rest and was ready to just lay there and finish chewing up that tennis ball.  Elise even let me bring the dirty thing into the house after she washed it.  It doesn't have as much flavor now, but I'm excited to leave it in little bits and pieces all over the house.  I'm a happy dog :)
