Enjoying the Scenery

Mattie likes to watch the stuff in the park sometimes, just sitting and watching the people go by.  She gets lots of looks herself.

Something Smells

Still Smells

I’m not sure what she smelled, but she was very, very intent.

Shaking

Mattie in the middle of shaking something out of her fur…

Still Wanting Kids

Mattie Investigates

Two pictures today – another of Mattie looking at kids and then one of her showing us a branch she found.  She was all over the branch for a good five minutes.  I guess she was smelling birds.

Mattie Sees a Horde

There were a whole bunch of kids on the playground.  This is how Mattie reacted.  She wanted to meet them all and go play with them.  It means she’s pretty well adjusted again.  Of course, none of the maintenance men think of her as a sweet, playful dog.

On the Hunt

Mattie saw something that sparked her interest.  She just -had- to look and keep looking.

Mattie Suspicious of Others

Mattie loves meeting other dogs individually.  In packs, like they are around here frequently, she gets a bit upset.  This is a picture of her in the process of meeting several other dogs (about six) at the park on Saturday.  You can see she’s not thrilled.  She eventually pulled out her power sitting move.

There was a loud noise...

Mattie got distracted by a loud noise and just had to stare.  It was the workers taking down some of the market stalls from the market earlier in the day.  She watched until something else caught her attention.

Sunning

Mattie likes to lay down in the sand after wading.  She rests and dries and warms back up – the water’s definitely got some cold pockets in it.

Shoring Off

Just wading through the water again.
