Patches in the Park

This afternoon was too gorgeous to stay inside, so I collected a sweet little lonely puppy from my sister's house and we followed a windy road to a state park.  We found a little section for ourselves, a decent distance away from the four other people in the area and put down a blanket.  

It was beautiful.  I meant to read, but between Patches and the sunshine, I found it a good time to think instead.  Sometimes, I just need to think.  And today was one of those days.  




I hooked about five leashes together to give Patches several yards of freedom.  She enjoyed it but I could tell she didn't like the limits! For a while, I felt like I was lunging a very tiny little pony as she ran laps around me, as far as the leads would let her go.  She settled next to me on the blanket a few times, but she roamed most of the time.  



She would come trotting back if she needed a drink or if she heard the rustle of anything that might be a treat for her being opened.  Patches was a very good companion for today's afternoon in the sun.
