I want to go to play on a children\u2019s playground. You may wonder what has prompted this outburst. I have reached that stage of later life where senility has set in and I am now in my second puppyhood? Fortunately it is nothing as dramatic as that. It\u2019s just that Bella, our friend who had the nibble at Megan\u2019s ear, went to a children\u2019s playground and had her photo taken on some of the rides. She was balancing on one of those chairs on springs that bob about and it got me to thinking that I don\u2019t have enough fun in my life and that I need to let my hair down a bit. So, I want to go to a children\u2019s playground. What I\u2019d really like is to go on the swings with my mistress pushing me ever so gently, at least until I\u2019d got used to it and wanted to go a little higher, although I don\u2019t think I\u2019d ever be very adventurous. I\u2019d like to go on the see-saw with my Mistress balancing my weight the other end \u2013 in fact thinking about it perhaps we could have me Ari and Shadow on together with my Mistress balancing us all out. When I said that to her she did say she wasn\u2019t quite as heavy as that, but her main point was that our legs wouldn\u2019t touch the ground so we wouldn\u2019t be able to push ourselves up again and she would be left doing all the work. I simply asked what point she was making, but she didn\u2019t seem to appreciate it.<\/p>\n
Bella is coming to stay in a few weeks, which is really exciting and I\u2019m hoping that her adventurous nature will rub off and we\u2019ll be able to join in lots of fun things that weekend. I know geocaching has been talked about, which my Mistress wants to try but I\u2019m sure we could find a kids playground somewhere that lets dogs in too.<\/p>\n
