Day at the Dog Park

Today is a rare day for me--having Saturdays off, that is. Kind of fun! Especially since Chels has this weekend off, too :) I do have to work tomorrow, which is okay because today is a beautiful fall day in Seattle and I'm sure the weather won't hold up for two days in a row. We rarely get to experience fall in Seattle--usually summer ends abruptly and the rain comes, bringing winter and no sun for months. So a rare sunny, cool autumn day is awesome! We brought Marley, a Shar Pei mix dog Chelsea has been dog-sitting for this week, to the dog park. My first time at the dog park! There were many cute dogs and it's fun to see them all run around and play together. We even got to see a few puppies, a black lab puppy and an Australian Shepard puppy. Marley was pretty good, except for the times when he tries to be "the biggest boy at the park" and jump all over the rest of the dogs. That's a little embarrassing...Chelsea wants to say "He's not mine!" when he acts like that :)

It's been a pretty lazy Saturday and I love it! This morning we went to get hair cuts and then went to lunch. There was even time for a nap :) Chelsea starts another dog-sitting job on Tuesday and this one is for two weeks! Kitten is going to miss her! Me, too :) Here's some pictures of Chelsea weeding around the flowers she planted and Kitten "helping". We let her go outside and now she tries each time we open the door, oops! So we came up with a solution: we're the crazy cat ladies who got her a leash & harness and thought maybe we could bring her out with that on. Yeah, right. She's terrified of it, and terrified but curious of going outside, so we'll see what happens... Oh, what will the neighbors think? :)
