Back to the dog park

We finally went back to the dog park, after months of not wanting to freeze. Kai was a little shy at first, but then started to warm up. Just like a kid having too much fun, it was hard to get her to leave after 1 1/2 hours. Then we came home and went for a walk. It is 4:30 and she is asleep. She did not even bother me when I started pulling out the chicken so I could fix dinner. I am thinking that I need to take a break from the house everyday for an hour just to wear her out. I am too boring, and can not play with her every minute of the day. We left after she started getting up in dog's faces. she wanted to play but I saw her hackles rise up and I am not sure why. There were 10 dogs at any given time while we were there. More and more people kept showing up with dogs. The dogs already in the fence would all rush toward the gate for butt sniffing. Which of course make the other dog get defensive. For the most part Kai hung back in this scenario waiting for the dog to get approved by the other dogs before engaging. There was one dog and I am not sure why but she ran immediately to the dog and tried to greet the dog, but this called the dog to start growling. Usually Kai backs off but she just kept trying to get her to play. Well we are both tired and now I must stop writing and start cooking. Tomorrow is another day and I hope the sun is shining, Kai definitely needs the exercise and she does not have my son to run with around the block. Stupid college gets in the way of fun play.
