A Dog Party! A Big Dog Party!

(inspired by the P.D. Eastman children's book)

Now the cars stop.
Now all the dogs get out.
And now look where those dogs are going!

To the park! To the park!

Over they go to the far side of the field.
Why?
Will they work there?
Will they play there?
What is over there at the far side of the field?

A dog party!
A big dog party!

Big dogs, little dogs...

Running dogs...

Rude dogs...

Lassie dogs...

Firehouse dogs...

Shiloh dogs...

Good Dog Carl dogs...

...are all at a dog party!
What a dog party!

Hello again.
And now do you like us?

I do.
What a treat.
I like this.
I like this fun dog party!

And so did her owners. Remarkably, she stuck close to us and came when we called her. Something that has never, ever happened before.

Too bad Dumpling didn't do the same.

Looks like lots of fun, well, except for the last picture. I guess when you are in a dog party, things happen.

have a blessed day.

That was fun!

Our dog parks don't have playground equipment, just big open spaces. Everything is bigger in Texas. :)

NEVER in a million years would I have taken our former dog to something like this. She was also a runner and husband learned to not go after her on foot but in the truck. He had to go after her as she was stupid and we lived next to a very busy road at the time.

I do not miss that.

But it looks like you all had fun!!!!

What a fun post! Go, Dog! Go! is one of the most-requested bedtime stories around here. It's been accidentally misplaced between my mattress and box spring for about two months.

I love it!!

Well my dogs love dog parks. I have to ask, though, having 2 beagles here, everytime we show up, I kind of cringe because the beagles start howling, which could be heard in the next county, until they finally get in the fence area with the other dogs.

Does this happen to you????

Do you have that kind of beagle?

And yes, the last picutre...........


how one ends the perfect day. :)

I love the Go Dog Go theme! Dr Seuss has always been a favorite in our house. Even when I was a little girl and my mom ordered his books for me. :D
