lizblackdog Mar. 26th, 2009 06:35 pm)park romp = so much fun today! There's a little Italian Greyhound called Aisha that lives in one of the big houses backing onto the park, and she and her Chihuahua housemate were out playing ball. The moment we appeared Aisha came racing up to us to say hello - Squish had a small social anxiety moment and hackled and yapped at her. He always does this with strange dogs, but as long as Spike is okay about the other dog he gets over it and makes friends. We've met Aisha before and they've conversed through her garden fence, but they don't know each other all that well.
So they all played and raced around fetching balls. Spike doesn't actually play with other dogs when he has a ball because BALL ARE SRS BSNSS but Aisha raced around chasing him with her ball in her mouth while he fetched his, and he chased her when she fetched hers - he's nearly as fast as she is, which is a bit astonishing.
She is spectacularly beautiful and adorable, all huge eyes and impossibly dainty little legs, cream-coloured with a bit of blue and dark-brown brindle over her flanks and backside. Watching her run was glorious. We all had a total blast.
Spike had a brief lapse of manners when Aisha's owner threw her ball and it hit a tree. Aisha overshot and kept going but Shark Dog, of course, had his eyes on the prize. I had to pretend I was going to throw it for him and then substitute his own; he didn't object too hard though. He knew he was in the wrong. I love positive contact with other dogs. I love my dogs.
