Uma's first trips to the dog park

Tom has told me that I've got a ridiculous number of puppy pictures on the blog now, but whatever, they're cute... and here's a few more. Uma is now officially allowed to go to dog parks - all up to date on her vaccines. We took them to Nose Hill park for the first visit because there's not usually too many dogs there so she can work up to larger groups... but that also means she's fair game for Kali. Uma started the wrestling but there wasn't really anywhere to hide so Kali chased her down and rolled her... and Uma came running to us for protection since she's not quite fast enough yet. Kali doesn't hurt her or anything... just pins her to the ground and won't let her up.
Of course after all that playing puppies definitely need some snuggling in the sunbeam time... whether Kali wants the snuggle part or not...
Who knows? Maybe she does... Uma is pretty warm and a perfect pillow size...
This morning we took them to Bowmont Park because there's a combination of fenced in puppy areas and nice walking areas. Here they are sporting the new collars my sister made for them - very styling and we got a few people asking where we got them and saying she should go into business making them...
There were actually quite a few dogs around and Uma started making some friends... although I'm pretty sure she was expecting them all to want to pin her like Kali does. We'll be taking Uma for a few solo trips too... and pretty soon puppy school.
