Today I took Hank up to Marymoor. We all know it's his favorite place on earth, but as you may have heard, there's been some flooding lately. So, I was curious to see what the slough looked like up at the park. Well, it was interesting. The water was up high and there were large parts of the park that were closed off because of the flooding. There's usually about 4-5 steps down into the water, and today the water was up to the second step, so when Hank jumped, he occasionally jumped on a step. And the current was STRONG, there were a couple of times he was swimming against the current for his ball, and never moved but you could see he was trying!
My friend Jennifer came to the dog park today with her dog Clyde. I ADORE Jen! She is so much fun to be around and always entertaining! Her dog Clyde is a pit bull rescue. Which means, he's the sweetest dog ever, but gets some looks...a couple of times while we were at the park, Jen would talk with folks, and a couple of times, Clyde got his leash put back on, but he was FABULOUS, and the leash wasn't for him, it was to calm down some OCD owner. Hank and Clyde had a BLAST together! We all know that Hank couldn't care less about anyone else at the park, as long as he has his ball, and knows we're still in the park. So, it was fun to watch Clyde, with his short pit bull legs, try to keep up with Hank. A few times, Clyde pulled the "go ahead, I'll wait here" move. They ran, and ran, and ran, and Hank is still sleeping. Lots of barking was had and some playful growling, but they sure had fun together! As you can see from the picture above, it was a lot of following around...this was towards the end of the time at the park, I think they were both a little tired at this point...
I know Hank can't wait to go back to the park, and he hopes that Clyde can come again to play with him soon!

Hi Elizabeth and Hank - Thank you SO much for the fabulous fun yesterday. Clyde T. Dog is indeed short and has trouble keeping up with someone as tall as Hank but he is always game to try! We TOTALY have to get our boys together for another play date soon they are just too cute. I appreciate your laid back attitude when the trash talk comes out, not everyone does that's why Clyde goes back on the leash. It's important to me to be as respectful as possible with other dog owners. I know Clyde T. would never hurt anyone but because he's a pit bull people tend to assume the worst. You and Hank were JUST what Clyde and I needed yesterday - fresh air and exercise :o)
