Mattie Enjoying the Park

Parking by a Tree

These two pictures are from Sunday at the park.  This one gives you a bit more view into the park and reveals Mattie investigating a new scent.  She does this a lot.

Here she is checking out a tree.  She sniffed at it for a good five minutes.  I have a feeling a lot of other dogs have left their marks there.

Mattie at the Door

One of Mattie’s favorite places in the house is right at the front door.  She lays there and fills up the whole entryway, keeping us safe from anyone daring to speak as he or she passes the house.  It’s also a nice, cool tile floor and it’s just beginning to come into late spring here, with temperatures comfortable but not hot.  She’ll appreciate the tile even more next month.

We walked to the park today and Mattie was eager to get there.  So eager, in fact, that she jumped the barrier to the grass and went right into sniff mode.  You can see the sign with the park name on it in the background.  The park’s about two to three blocks big and always has a swarm of dogs.  It’s also where the local Saturday and Tuesday market is held.
