I took my dog to town for some shots from a traveling vet service at a farm supply store. We had to wait in line for an hour to get his shots. He was just so damn happy to be around so many dogs and cats that he could not sit still. So he was behaving a bit badly, but with a good attitude. I was a little embarrassed that he was the worst behaved in line, but he is so happy that he did not really offend the other owners. And he took the shots like a champ.
Since I was in town, I took him to a dog park. I was a little worried because I did not bring any retrieving toys or a Frisbee. Luckily the park was packed. So he got to run and play HARD for an hour, he ran for an hour... an hour. He is used to high grass and brush around my neighborhood, and the park was mostly dirt. So he could not corner well. Literally the first time he hit top speed and turned, he tumbled for about 8 feet. And man he's fast, which was not good for this one fat, short, Chow. Ralph would run past all the dogs and get them to chase him. But he would spend as much time watching the pack of dogs on his heels as he would watch where he was going. So he twice T-Boned the Chow. And because the Chow was so short and fat, Ralph would bounce straight into the air and crumple into the dirt. The Chow never budged.
There was also a mighty horn-dog at the park. Anytime a dog would pay attention to a human, the horn-dog would roll up behind and start humping away.
Ralph was nearly as bad, he found this cute little Cur that looks a little like him... and performed Cunnilingus on her at every chance. The owners were some college aged hipsters that were happy she was getting that type of attention.
Then when I got him home we played a little Frisbee, and he caught it several more times than normal.
So he had a great day, and is sleeping happily now.
