Time flies. Carl was adopted by my son in 2019. He was such a cutie! I puppy sat every Monday when my son only worked from home four days a week.
They celebrate his birthday on Pi Day. Irrational? Regardless, this was his puppy photo with me, in May 2019. Adorable!
The celebration this year was an outdoor romp at the neighborhood dog park near my son and DIL's home. I drove Ember over so that they could have an hour of play time, along with a whole bunch of other dogs who came and went while we were there.
The mythical son, watching over the playing canines. Added bonus of a dog birthday party? Human hugs.
I was ecstatic to have DIL's dad join the outing, as he'd missed several due to recurring colds. He was in good shape today. You don't see DIL because she's behind the camera.
Second bonus: Pets other than your own. A great group of dogs paraded by the bench full of "elder humans" (all us grandparents) particularly because the grandmas were packing treats. This photo just shows our two dogs (Carl in foreground in a blue collar, Ember in the pink harness). But there were half a dozen (or more) others who came up to say hi at one point or another. A couple of huskies, a pair of Bernadoodles, a clearly full-on poodle, a beagle, several mixed breeds. All well behaved. One had a collar that read "Emotional support animal".
Sunday is supposed to plunge us back into Winter, so this hour in sunshine was much appreciated. It was about 50℉, and while breezy, not too horrid. Note we're all in sweats or light jackets. The kiddo is even sockless in crocs (his favorite and most frequent footwear).
After the outing, both doggos napped in their separate homes.
Life is good. Keep Sparking!
