First Time at the Dog Park

Last week Hadley had a puppy play date at the dog park! We met my fried Joe and his one-year-old dog Willow. At first Hadley was nervous (so was I). She loves other dogs but she had never been around so many at once. When we stepped out of the car a couple of them were barking at her. I think that made her nervous. She isn't a barker.

Once she got inside the fence and was off-leash she started playing and had the time of her life. That was the first time she had ever been off-leash outside before and I could tell she was enjoying the freedom.

Joe's dog Willow was so cute and her and Hadley played nicely together. The other dogs there weren't as good as Willow. One was a Great Dane and he started to get a little too excited so his owner decided to go home. There was also a Pitbull mix there that was playing nicely with Hadley but then he started getting a little aggressive and Hads got scared and started yelping. His owner and him left pretty soon afterward.

After that Joe, Willow, Hadley and I had the whole dog park to ourselves. She ran around a lot and chased Willow. Joe threw a tennis ball for Hads and instead of skidding to stop like a normal dog, she stopped her front paws and her back paws went into the air and she did a hand-stand. It was so funny and so cute!

Hadley really had a great time and there will definitely be more dog park play dates with Willow!

Hadley's First Snow Experience

This morning Hads experienced her first real snow! She loved it and was jumping around, playing in it. She kept getting it on her nose and then would get frustrated when she couldn't get it off. It was adorable.

After she finished playing in the snow, I took her to the vet to get her last set of shots (FINALLY!). Right as I was putting her into the car, she started shivering and whining so I put my mittens on her front paws to warm her up. She LOVED them! It was the funniest thing and she got really upset when I took them off of her at the vet. All the front desk ladies were laughing at how funny she is. She did well with her shots and is currently taking a nap on my lap with two blankets on her that she burrowed under.

Overall, she liked the snow, but she liked wearing my mittens even more!

Silly Pup!

Now that Hadley is getting better on her leash we have been going on more walks. I wanted to share this video with everyone because I think it's the funniest thing! When we are walking, she gets tired and lays down with her legs stretched behind her and scoots around like a seal! After I took this video we were walking down a grassy hill, she did it the whole way down! She is so funny!
