Yellow Ball

Ireland spent her Sunday afternoon at the Alameda dog park, near Crown Memorial Beach. The focus of her attention was a yellow Spongebob Squarepants ball that she carried with her wherever she went. We eventually had to get rid of the ball because she started getting aggresive towards other dogs who showed interest in it, or even just looked at it.

The park itself, consists out of beach sand, bushes and occasional grass patches. Ireland's favorite part of the park is the collection of sand pits, strategically located in the shade of surrounding trees. Often, she'll run circles around the edge of the pits or she'll jump straight over one. Today, she amused herself by letting the ball roll into the pit and then jumpin in to try and retrieve it. While she was at it, she decided that the pit wasn't quite deep enough and started digging like crazy.

An hour later, we drove home with a very tired husky in the back of our car! As soon as we got home, she went straight to her cage and collapsed.
