DOG!

Good thing I brought a towel as well as the dog to the dog park.
Sparky loves splashing in the water, but she's a bit of a wuss when it comes to playing with the other dogs, and given that the weather is warm and sunny, the dog park was packed. She had lots of opportunity to stare stiffly into the distance while communicating via body language that she was NOT HAPPY with the two dogs sniffing her bum. Thankfully, she's not aggressive, but when the black Lab kept on doing it and couldn't read all the signs, she snapped at him and told him to back off. Big doofus still didn't get it, but his owner did. Sparky and I then trotted off to the far corner where she could watch the other dogs in peace and splash in the creek at her leisure. Silly Sparky Girl Dog.
