It's all about Fred today.
Today was an absolutely gorgeous spring-like day. The temperature got above 70 degrees and it was sunny and beautiful out! When I posted that we were trying to figure out what to do on facebook this morning, a local friend said she was going to Fairhope across the Bay. I then googled it, and found out that they have a dog park over there! It's been a loooong time since Fred had any good off-leash time, so we made that our priority today.
He was the old boy of the pack, but that didn't stop him from trying to keep up. Unfortunately, the arthritis that he's been dealing with on and off for the past 5 years or so caught up with him and he started limping a bit, so we left a little earlier than we thought we would. It doesn't seem to have bothered him, though, since he's been doing nothing but sleeping since we left!
This was after about 20 minutes of playing and a dozen trips to the water bucket.
(And for those who don't know Fred, he's only 8, but he's gray like an old man!!)
