A social event...

On our way to Veterans Park Maverick was a little upset about being sent to the back of the car. It's understandable when he is use to riding in the passenger seat directly in front of the air conditioner. I had my dad in town this weekend who came along with us to check out the Husky meet and greet. So it was an interesting ride to say the least with classic rock blaring up front, my daughter singing with her interactive Little Mermaid book, and the persistent howling coming from the back seat. Not to mention the white fuzzy head blocking the rear view mirror.


So as we pulled into the dog park, Maverick was overly excited as he saw a golden retriever outside the car door. This urged him to howl and carry on further jumping into the air a bit. Some lady barely managing to keep two pit bulls under control across the parking lot chimed in that we should correct our dog. Without bursting into laughter I shot her a look as if to please move on...


Maverick was the first husky to arrive, bursting through the green fence to be met by an assortment of dogs. Kouri particularly liked the little toy poodle and the black and white Great Dane that she referred to as the Dalmatian.


Husky groups entered one by one each being greeted by the group of dogs already in the park. I really didn't count them but there must have been about ten huskies running around and chasing each other. Kouri ran right along side them telling them they were doing a great job racing. She has no fear of dogs. Sometimes scary. I was really impressed how Maverick handled a four month old husky...at one point they were cuddled in a mud pile together panting from exhaustion.


All in all it was a great day which led to a sleepy four year old and a worn out husky. Maverick had no complaints on the ride home. He was passed out in the back seat.
