On Saturday, we met up with Jeff and Lelia at our town’s dog park. I’d never even been to a dog park before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Luckily, it was actually well-kept, clean, and relatively large.

Jax mostly kept to himself at first. He’s usually pretty submissive, so seeing a giant Malamute (among other big dogs) when we first arrived might have intimidated him a little. A certain little girl was thrilled when all the dogs swarmed around her as soon as we walked through the gate. She just sat and watched them the entire time without making a peep. Little animal lover!We met Jeff and Lelia’s dog, Fallon, for the first time! They just got her last week. She is about the same size as Jax (for now anyway). It didn’t take long for them to become buddies! They started following each other around… … and then they had a huge [friendly] wrestling match! Jax was wiped out (and dirty) by the end of the afternoon. He had a bath as soon as we got home, and then we made him wait out on the porch to dry off. “Can I come inside now, pleaaase?”It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
