New Friend!

Today, I attached Guinness to a tree in the side yard so that I could clean the garage in peace. We have used this tie-out many times, and, recently, I have begun to leave him outside alone. In fact, today we bought more new toys – some for the purpose of leaving him to play outside by himself. Right after clipping him, a yellow lab walked by on the sidewalk. Guinness was so excited that he broke his tether! The two were excitedly jumping at opposite sides of the fence. In conversing with the owners, we discovered that Guinness is only 7 days older than Oakley! I invited them to come to our side yard to play, and they accepted. The two dogs went crazy – running in circles around the yard chasing each other. They were fast friends at first sight! Guinness has not had so much fun with any other dog! They were just a riot together! Once they began to tire and started rolling on the ground, Guinness treated Oakley like he did Hershey – used him for a jungle gym! We exchanged email addresses and promised to have playtime again.
