Grace Playdate

Would ya look at that face? Who wouldn't want a big slobbery kiss from this little booger? Will and I felt so guilty for kenneling Gracie over New Years (as though she knew the difference), but I kept picturing her all alone in her kennel, wearing a Happy 2009 bandana, holding a noise maker in her mouth, watching Dick Clark on the TV in her puppy suite, and sadly lapping a little sparkling water as the folks in Time Square cheered and kissed. So we pledged to spend some quality time with her yesterday and today. What a joy. We took her to the dog dog park and for a romp in neighboring Broad Ripple Park this morning. She found every mud puddle and rolled in it (her specialty), ate old sticks, stole my mitten (another signature move), and gave us little trouble while we scrubbed her in the tub-- removing leaves and turf from her fur. We love this dog and her sweet spirit. Here are some shots from our dog date.
